Are a part... ?

Grammatically it doesnt look correct but I want to avoid "internal parts". Is it there a better solution than this?

Positivity, hope, inspiration, joy are an internal part of my daily life.

TinaMr Grammatically it doesnt look correct but I want to avoid "internal parts". Good idea. It sounds like a mistake for "integral part", which is itself a sort of style mistake, the cliche.

  • Also, the omission of the conjunction in the list seems uncalled for, and four things can't be one part.
  • I suggest that you try to come up with something more meaty than "part of my life" for those four profound aspects, something like "inspire everything I do" or "are the four pillars of my temple" or some such other pseudo-religio-philosophical balderdash that belongs on a gift-shop macrame wall hanging.
