Over on Reddit, there’s an entire pocket of the internet that is wholly devoted to people encouraging people.
In a year where good news has sometimes felt few and far between, we could all use an uplifting tale or heartwarming anecdote. Apparently, we’re not the only ones. This online group called Get Motivated! is now home to 17 million members, and the love, encouragement, and support is strong with each and every one of them. Here are 15 of the most touching stories they’ve shared in their self-made support group.
1. Endurance without bounds.
2. When one door closes, make your own door.
3. Don’t just reach your goals – take the gold!
4. Remember where your heroes started.
5. Yours might be the first kind act someone receives all week.
6. A mantra to live by.
7. There is no obstacle so big that it can keep you from your purpose.
8. Use your circumstances as a vault, not a hurdle.
9. As Bob Ross says, “You can do anything here.”
10. It is never too late to chase those dreams.
11. Remind yourself that you are a hero.
12. Good things come to those who hustle.
