Welcome to GREAT NEWS!
GREAT VISION:
Our vision is to eliminate apathy by spreading good news and showing the world how much progress we’ve actually made. In a world filled with negativity and pessimism, it can be easy to feel overwhelmed and helpless. We want to change that by sharing stories of hope, progress, and positive change.
We believe that the news we consume has a significant impact on our overall well-being and outlook on life. Unfortunately, traditional news sources often focus on the negative, sensationalizing stories of tragedy and conflict. While it’s important to be aware of the challenges we face as a society, we also need to celebrate our successes and recognize the progress we’ve made.
GREAT MISSION:
At GREAT NEWS, we are committed to bringing you stories of progress and positivity from around the world. From advances in science and technology to inspiring human-interest stories, we cover it all. Our goal is to help our subscribers stay informed about the positive changes happening in the world and to inspire them to take action in their own lives.
We believe that by sharing good news, we can make a real difference in the world. When we focus on the positive, we are more likely to feel hopeful and optimistic about the future. We are also more likely to take action to create positive change in our own lives and in the world around us.
Thank you for joining us on this journey to eliminate apathy and spread good news. We hope that our podcast and newsletter inspires you and brings a lot of positivity into your life.

Welcome to the Daily Quote — I'm Andrew McGivern.
Today's quote comes from Eleanor Roosevelt — longest-serving First Lady of the United States, United Nations delegate, and the driving force behind the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, whom President Truman called the First Lady of the World.
She said:
”It takes as much energy to wish as it does to plan.”
Ten words. And they expose something most of us do every single day without realizing it.
Wishing feels passive — like it costs nothing. We wish things were different. We wish we'd started sooner. We wish the right opportunity would come along. It feels harmless, like idle daydreaming that happens in the background while real life carries on.
But Roosevelt is pointing out something far more uncomfortable: wishing isn't free. It costs exactly the same mental and emotional energy as planning, it just produces nothing in return.
Think about that. Every hour you spend wishing you were in better shape costs the same energy as planning the first workout. Every hour spent wishing your business idea would somehow come together costs the same as mapping out the first three steps.
Wishing often involves dwelling on unfulfilled desires and imagining a better future without making any progress towards it, which leads to frustration and disappointment. You're spending the currency either way. The question is whether you're getting anything back.
Roosevelt herself was a woman who never wished when she could act, she travelled the country surveying conditions, wrote thousands of articles, delivered countless speeches, and worked tirelessly to draft the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
She didn't have more energy than everyone else. She simply refused to spend it on wishing.
Planning doesn't have to be complicated. It just means taking the same energy you'd pour into a wish — and directing it toward a decision, a step, a date on the calendar. Same energy. Completely different result.
So here's the question: What are you currently wishing for — that you could be planning for instead? Because the energy is already there. You're already spending it. The only question is whether you're spending it on a wish that goes nowhere, or a plan that actually moves you forward.
Same energy. Your choice what to do with it.
That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern — I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
