What is your earliest memory of an act of positivity....
My earliest memory is from my childhood, when I was around five or six at school in London. It was a beautiful multiracial school. We all got on, we all had fun, we all treated each other the same, we basically didn't know any different. I just remember everyone was so positive and it reflected in my school work (I still have all my school books and reports), I was very artistic back then, even though it was only stick people and colorful crayon drawings. So yes that was my first happy/positive moment in my life. All though when I turned seven I moved to Somerset and it was a new journey and a little bit of a negative story, which one day I may talk about.
Why is Positivity as opposed to negativity important to you?
Positivity has been very important for me all my life. I have had way too much negativity growing up and on some occasions it nearly destroyed my soul. I, unfortunately attracted the wrong people into my life which in turn attracted bad situations, it was not until I was in my early forties that I realised I needed to detox myself from an awful lot of people to save my sanity and my health. It worked and almost instantly I had decent people surrounding me and I began to love myself again! I have never been so happy and it has helped so much by talking to like minded people who have had similar journeys and have woken up to the fact that POSITIVITY is part of the key to happiness.
“Happiness is a choice, not a result. Nothing will make you happy until you choose to be happy. No person will make you happy unless you decide to be happy. Your happiness will not come to you. It can only come from you.”
