INSPIRE TO BE POSITIVE

There’s no denying that inspiring someone can spread positivity; inspiration holds the key to positivity.

To inspire everyone around you not only allows you to spread positivity, but gives you the ability to give everyone around you the best outlook on life, and that life is special, even if at times it can be dull.

Inspire someone today. Your positivity is what this world needs, and is also the key to giving you the best possible start in life, and also the best possible career you want in life.

I believe with my hand on my heart that we should inspire others and spread positivity because this world needs to drown out inequality and negativity and bring out the best in everyone with inspiration and positivity.

Start today by drowning out all negativity and inequality and filling the empty spaces where the negativity and inequality were with equality, diversity, love, care, compassion, respect and diversity.

If this inspired you, please let me know. I’m here to inspire and want to make this world a better place and I want for all of you to be in a world where equality and diversity stomps on hatred, inequality and a lack of diversity.

This world needs equality and diversity, and with love, compassion, care, acceptance and respect, this world can be a better place.

Life is Precious. Make the Most of a Happy & Positive Life.

Life throws at us what we do or don’t like to experience, but it’s being able to accept who you are that really matters. Whether you have anyone around you who chooses to see you differently because of who you are and how you choose to appear, that doesn’t matter, it’s what comes from your heart and who you are that really matters the most.

In life, you can be called every name under the sun that some people may see as a gateway to all sorts of trouble, but you are the only person that matters because you can stand up for what you genuinely believe in, and not give a care about what anyone thinks of you.

In my eyes, it doesn’t matter who you love and who you choose to be, and it doesn’t matter what you look like, what matters is that you should be yourself and that you should never change for anyone because they may see you in a different light, just be yourself and realise that your life is precious, and it’s always good to make the most of the happy and positive life you will have, because you only get this kind of chance in life to be happy and to be positive as well. So make the most of your life and value how precious your life really is.

Forget what anyone thinks of you, and so what if you look different in size to everyone else, that doesn’t matter, and so what if you are different to everyone else, at the end of the day, just think, we are all different. We are all not the same. We are all born to do our own thing, and the less we take ourselves for granted, the better we feel, and the more we bring ourselves together, the better we all become.

We were all born for many purposes, and that was to be ourselves, to be accepting and equal with each other and to show complete respect to one another. Anyone’s respect doesn’t go unnoticed, but can be noticed depending on how much you respect someone and how much you care and value them.

I always believe that if you can respect everyone around you and treat everyone equally and treat everyone with diversity, then you’ll find you will move up in the world because the more respect you show, the more you’ll get respected back in return. In other words, the more equal and diverse you are, the more equal and diverse everyone will be towards you.

Life is without a shadow of a doubt precious, and it’s always good to make the most of your happy and positive life now, because you’ll never get this chance to live a happy and positive life again.

However hard things can be life, especially if you’ve been through a bad patch or if you’ve lost someone close to you, always make sure to keep positive, not just for yourself, but for them as well, and show those that are no longer around that you can keep strong for them and make sure to do them proud. After all, I always believe this, even if that person is no longer around to be by your side, keep this in mind: “I want to make sure to do you proud and to make sure to continue all of the good work you’ve done, and I will work my socks off to make sure I can do you proud.“

Happiness and Positivity, in my eyes, are the keys to a wonderful life, so start living now and make something good for yourself ☺👍👌.

If this article has put a bundle of happiness and positivity in your step, please feel free to feedback your thoughts. Your feedback is absolutely appreciated. Remember, I’m always going to be here to inspire you all, so I will make sure none of you go without :-).

Uplifting Photo Moments: The Croydon College Rotunda & Bumping into The One Show’s Marty Jopson

During my lunch break at college on Thursday, I took the opportunity to take a photo of Croydon College‘s Rotunda, given that I had enough time to get back to my class for my next lesson, but as I walked into Croydon College on Thursday morning, I bumped into The One Show‘s Marty Jopson, who is very well known for testing certain things that are available to the marketplace, among many other things that involve experiments and inventions that we have or haven’t seen before.

On Thursday, Marty tested out an impact resistant suit which would withstand a lot of pressure and force if you were to apply something to it, for instance, in this case, a baseball bat was involved, as this was used to test the impact resistant suit that Marty wore while his production crew were filming.

I must admit, because I had only just walked in on Thursday morning after getting off of my 367 bus, I had to duck out of the way because I had no idea that filming had commenced, so you can imagine I was worried about the possibility of filming being stopped in the event that they caught me or anyone else within the shot.

After the production crew finished filming Marty testing the impact resistant, I had the opportunity to speak to him regarding what they were doing, and told him what course I was on, and I can be honest to you all, Marty Jopson is one of the most down-to-earth TV Personalities I’ve ever spoken to, and he’s such a genuinely nice guy to talk to. It was an absolute pleasure getting the chance to talk to him and to also get a photo with him.

To me, this is an uplifting moment, because the last time I met someone famous was four years ago, when I met Sean Scannell, who had previously played for Crystal Palace Football Club (he currently plays for Huddersfield Town F.C.). But still, Marty is one of the nicest, most down-to-earth people I’ve ever met, and this is an uplifting moment for me that will stay with me for the rest of my life.

Below is the photo I took of the Rotunda, and below also is the photo that one of Marty’s production crew took for me when I was at college on Thursday.

Overall, despite a busy week, I absolutely enjoyed myself, and these moments were just the perfect end to such a fantastic week. Thanks so much to Marty Jopson and the production crew for ending my week on such a positively high note, I really appreciate it a lot, and I can’t wait to see more of you on TV, you’re an absolute credit to the BBC :-).
