Have you ever experienced a dream that felt profoundly spiritual, as if it carried a deeper meaning or message? Spiritual dreams can often leave us pondering their significance long after we wake up. Some believe that these dreams are a way for the subconscious mind to communicate with us, offering insights, guidance, or even a glimpse into the divine.

It is about embracing the full spectrum of life’s experiences with the understanding that there is value in every moment, even the challenging ones. It is the belief that, no matter what happens, we have the strength to move forward, learn, and grow. Positivity is not a destination but a way of approaching life that empowers us to live fully, with hope and a forward-looking attitude.

It is easy to be positive when everything is going well, but the real test of positivity comes during difficult times. This is when a positive mindset can make all the difference, helping us to navigate through life’s storms with resilience and grace.

In essence, being positive is not about being happy all the time.

This does not mean ignoring the pain or dismissing the reality of tough situations; rather, it is about choosing how we respond to them. We can choose to be overwhelmed by difficulties, or we can choose to see them as temporary obstacles that can be overcome.

Moreover, positivity involves being proactive rather than reactive. It is about taking responsibility for our reactions and decisions, even when circumstances are unfavorable.

This approach to positivity recognizes that every situation, whether good or bad, contributes to our development. It encourages us to accept that some things are beyond our control and that there is often a bigger picture at play, even if it is not yet visible.

A positive attitude, therefore, is rooted in the understanding that challenges are opportunities in disguise. It is about finding strength in adversity and using it as a catalyst for personal growth.

It is about maintaining a mindset that allows one to move forward with hope and a constructive attitude, despite challenges.

Life is full of ups and downs, and it is unrealistic to expect constant happiness. To be positive is not to deny the existence of difficulties but to face them with a mindset that seeks to understand, learn, and grow.

Positivity is often misunderstood as a perpetual state of happiness, where everything is sunny and problems seem to evaporate. However, true positivity is much deeper and more resilient than simply being cheerful all the time. It is not about masking pain with a smile or pretending that everything is perfect. Instead, positivity is the ability to acknowledge that there is a reason behind every experience, even when the reason is not immediately clear.

In the centuries since her death, Njinga has been increasingly recognized as a major historical figure in Angola and in the wider Atlantic Creole culture. She is remembered for her intelligence, her political and diplomatic wisdom, and her military tactics.

In 1641, she entered into an alliance with the Dutch West India Company who had captured Luanda from the Portuguese. Between 1641 and 1644, Njinga was able to reclaim large parts of Ndongo. Alongside the Dutch, she defeated the Portuguese in a number of battles but was unable to take the Fortress of Massangano. In 1648, the Portuguese recaptured Luanda, with the Dutch leaving Angola. Njinga continued to fight the Portuguese until a peace treaty was signed in 1656.

The Portuguese declared war on Ndongo in 1626 and by 1628, Njinga's army had been severely depleted and they went into exile. In search of allies, she married Imbangala warlord Kasanje. Using this new alliance to rebuild her forces, she conquered the Kingdom of Matamba from 1631 to 1635.

Njinga received military and political training as a child, and she demonstrated an aptitude for defusing political crises as an ambassador to the Portuguese Empire. In 1624, she assumed power over Ndongo after the death of her brother Mbandi. She ruled during a period of rapid growth of the African slave trade and encroachment by the Portuguese Empire in South West Africa.
