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, the podcast designed to kickstart your day in a positive way. I'm your host Andrew McGivern and lets jump straight in to today's quote of the day..
Today's quote comes from Terence McKenna, American ethnobotanist, philosopher, mystic, and one of the most unconventional and captivating voices of the 20th century. A man who spent his life studying consciousness, shamanism, and the nature of the human mind and who, in between all of that, said something that has nothing to do with psychedelics and everything to do with how you live your life: Terrence
McKenna once said,
”If you don't have a plan, you become part of somebody else's plan.”The absence of a plan feels neutral. It feels like freedom with no commitments, no constraints, maximizing your options. What McKenna is saying is that it's anything but.
Nature abhors a vacuum. And so does the world around you. Someone always has a plan, the government has a plan, your employer has a plan, the algorithm has a plan, the culture has a plan. Every company you buy from. Every system you move through every day has its own agenda and that agenda easily absorbs people who haven't defined their own direction.
The planless don't escape other people's plans. They fill them. Quietly, gradually, without ever being asked. And possibly without even being consciously aware of it.
Think about what that looks like across a life. The career that happened by default, not chosen, just fallen into. The years that passed while you were meaning to get around to the thing that actually mattered. The one thing, your ONE THING.
Without your own plan, your life is shaped not by your own intention but by the accumulated gravitational pull of everyone else's expectations, systems, and agendas. Nobody forced it on you. You just didn't have a plan of your own and the world is very good at filling that space.
McKenna's point isn't that planning eliminates uncertainty. It doesn't. It's that the direction of your life, the broad, honest question of where you're headed and why, requires a deliberate answer. Because if you don't answer it, someone else will. And their answer will serve their purposes, not yours.So here's the question: Right now, in the areas of your life that matter most, are you operating from your own plan? Or have you drifted, by default, into somebody else's?
Because that slot is always available. The world will always find a use for the unintentional drifters. The only defense is a direction you chose yourself, however imperfect, however incomplete.
Make the plan. Before someone else makes it for you.
That's it for today. I'm Andrew McGivern and I'll see you in the next one with another Daily Quote.
