Motivational
I've been to careful -- poker HAS become a grind. In the past year to two years I've lost my luster for the game in general. "Do something you love... then do it for money/a living; and tell me how much you love it?"
I do love it. I have to really tap into my appreciation for all Poker has granted me; the places it's taken me; and most importantly -- the potential it has to really take my life to another level. It's within the realm of possibilities that I go on a week or two rush; and my entire financial existence as far as I perceive it changes.
Poker has the ability to bring me that. Stop believing that it doesn't. If I continue to put myself into life-changing money situations; at some point it's going to happen. Do not expect it -- simply believe in it; embrace that feeling -- and do the best with the circumstances provided to me. The rest will simply fall into place.
Remember the revelation you had the other night; my life is better -- and I am an over all happier person when I truly believe in all thats Good; higher than I; "God". I've lost that faith. I truly do feel as that I'm regaining that feeling of hope and connection to something higher than myself.
I made amends tonight w/ a handful of people that I felt I was a little to brash towards / rude inside my local card room. There's absolutely no excuse for me getting verbally abusive/crazy/talking insane shit while at the tables; NO MATTER HOW MUCH $$$ I HAPPEN TO BE STUCK. NO MATTER HOW BAD THEY SUCK OUT; NO MATTER HOW OUT OF LINE I BELIEVE SOMEONE MAY BE -- I WILL SHOW ULTIMATE RESPECT TO ALL HUMAN-BEINGS AND GIVE EVERYONE THE BENEFIT OF THE DOUBT.
I will spread enthusiasm amongst my poker acquaintances/friends and be an inspiration to those that I speak to. Not just about poker -- but with life in general.
I will absolutely destroy people with Kindness. Everyday.
I will pray.
I will write / journal more.
I will appreciate my life, my youth, and everything given to me with full fucking appreciation. Every day.
I've turned into a FUCKING poker zombie -- and it's awful. My friends and peers have noticed. It has to stop; or I have to change paths.
Win or lose -- I've set up a good bottom pyramid block that I cannot be phased. Everything fundamentally will always be ok. There's no reason to sweat the small stuff. Continue compounding good decisions; and the break through WILL happen.
My games sharp. Continue picking the brains of the passionate winning players that you've picked out.
REMEMBER MOST:
YOU'RE PLAYING A CARD GAME AT AN EXTREMELY HIGH LEVEL
YOU HAVE AND ARE LIVING WHAT MANY DREAM OF
THIS IS A FUCKING DREAM; NOT A GRIND.
LIVE IT. LOVE IT. BE THANKFUL FOR IT. STAY SHARP.
