I have written and spoken about the importance of the power of positivity in the past, as well as dealing with it in my book. It is not easy I’ll admit. Staying positive saved me from catastrophe and led me to a new life.

What is the power of positivity?
Positive thinking is an emotional and mental attitude that focuses on the good in any given situation.
It simply means you approach the good and the bad in life with the expectation that things will go well.
It's about anticipating happiness, health and success instead of expecting the worst. The results will benefit you.
Don't just think positive – overcome your limiting beliefs and transform your entire mindset.
With a positive attitude you are not daunted by obstacles, difficulties, or delays, and you do not give in easily. True positive thinking is not just saying that everything will be okay, but at the same time thinking about the possibility of failure, expecting difficulties, and learning how to overcome them.
What is the value of positivity?
People who experience frequent positivity show greater productivity and are able to engage in greater emotional self-regulation, self-control, and delay of immediate gratification. Positive people are more sociable and have stronger networks.
How does being positive affect others?
A positive person focuses on what's good in their life, finds joy in the simple things, and takes the general attitude that while there are lots of things they cannot directly control, they can control what they choose to focus on.
Most people enjoy the company of a positive person.
Researchers have found that when subjects "catch" positive emotions from others, they are more likely to be viewed by others as more cooperative and competent. They also perceive themselves as being more inclined to share responsibility in a group.
What are the 10 most positive emotions?
The strongest, and by far the most powerful, is Love, followed by Joy, Gratitude, Serenity, Interest, Hope, Pride, Amusement, Inspiration, and Awe.
