The r/awesome subreddit does exactly what it says on the tin. Its 1.2 million members share “everything that is awesome,” from examples of human generosity and gorgeous art to powerful photos of nature and wildlife. We’ve curated some of their most inspiring posts to share with all of you, dear Pandas. Scroll down for a boost of optimism and hope. The moderator team running the whole show has just two rules. They’re both fairly simple. The first one is that you shouldn’t be posting any indecent content. The second one asks redditors to try not to post screenshots. Living a good life, at its core, means living purposefully. What your exact purpose is will depend entirely on your character, goals, values, and aspirations. Some people feel a calling to travel, be entrepreneurs, or dedicate themselves to creating art in all of its forms. Others give themselves entirely to their family, aim to save the world, or want to leave behind a legacy of generosity. So a quality life will inevitably involve lots of in-depth socializing with the people we care about. The positive relationships we foster make us resilient to the stresses of life. They make us happier, healthier, and help us live longer. An important point to remember here is that no artist, no matter how talented, manages to create their masterpieces without sweat or tears. If you sincerely want to become a top-tier painter, photographer, sculptor, musician, dancer, etc., you have to be willing to consistently put in the work.
