“The most common way that people give up their power is by thinking they don’t have any” Alic Walker

Choosing to be positive and an optimist means you will feel lighter and happier within yourself, as you naturally start to see the good rather than focusing on the bad.
“If you are positive, You’ll see opportunities instead of obstacles” Widad Akrawi
