Tennis isn't just about skill. It's a whole culmination of effort ranging from the individual's effort, skill, psychology which is backed by a team who is advising, coaching and giving therapy. There's a good reason why tennis players spend a lot of time giving thanks to their team during the award ceromony.

Rafal gets full credit for pulling all of this together and most of all keeping his body in peak performance throughout the years.

Totally agree with what you're saying. The subreddits I mentioned are hit and miss but I haven't found anything with sufficient articles that could satiate my desire to read positive, real stories on a daily basis.

Looking at OP's website at the moment, I saw lots of medical-related articles which don't particularly interest me in general. What I would like to see is a mix of r/humansbeingbros, r/funny, r/UpliftingNews and r/getmotivated but without any negative backstory to it (eg. . Guy on the street who gets $50 that will last him for 1 day, Person survives Stage 4 Cancer, etc). Many stories are billed as "positive" but get you thinking of struggles people are going through... And when you're in that mindset, you're not in a position to help anyone else.

So, basically there needs to a site with all the news that nourish your mind and keep it in a light-hearted state so you're in a good frame of mind for your day.

Great stuff - thanks for helping the internet to be a better place.

I couldn't immediately tell, but do you allow people to submit their own links/articles? The thing I've found with positive news sites is that they don't have the same breadth of articles as say r/worldnews. Most people have ADD when it comes to this sort of stuff so it would be nice to have a very diverse set of constantly added news, otherwise people will not regularly return and eventually forget about your site. The only way I know to counter this would be to have many contributors. Maybe you could make it work in parallel with a same named subreddit and cross-post articles bi-directionally from your website to the subreddit? Then, your other social media outlets like TikTok can help promote it further. Your website would be the central "repository".

I second this. Reddit and most social media is just rife with lots of negative stuff. Even seemingly innocuous subreddits like r/AskReddit are terrible for this ("What your worst experience..?", "What annoys you the most about..?" etc. One of the biggest drawbacks with the official Reddit app is that you cannot unsubscribe from negative subreddits as far as I know. So if you click on one of these subs and participate, you will start getting them in your feed causing a feedback loop.

Some subreddits I subscribe to are: r/MadeMeSmile, r/UpliftingNews, r/GetMotivated. If anyone knows more, please add in a reply!
