Positivity is some raw complex business. It can feel conflicting and paradoxical but it’s about one’s own private journey. Positivity, true, valuable positivity, starts from within. Positivity starts with being honest with yourself. Positivity starts with not repressing your own issues or manipulating them. Positivity starts with being as less conceited as possible toward yourself and taking things of both your reality and your imagination at complete face value. Positivity begins and ends with real self-acknowledgement that entails not faking your thoughts and emotions. Positivity is not about pleasing other people. Positivity can only be inspiring when it’s first and foremost genuine and personal and deeply internal.
