A Crucial Component

There are books and books about the importance of a positive attitude and people make a living speaking about it. I have spent most of my life surrounded by the opposite message and where have I gotten? Therefore I am taking a very firm stance in the opposite direction. At this point it has become a big part of my persona automatically. That can't be a bad thing though it's not going to cure me of my stenosis. It does help with my pain level. When I'm asked about the pain level I have to think for a bit cause it's not something I focus on consciously. That is because focus must be on therapy, transferring over and over and over. I am at the point that if someone is negative, like my parents, I ask them to leave.
