Ok so im sitting here at work on my 26th birthday, its very slow and I began reflecting on the last few years. I began wondering what my life would be like if I had never read rekruls poker story on team liquid and gotten the sickness. I began wondering what I would be doing right now. I thought long and hard about all of the ups and downs and agony that I have gone through in poker. And then I realized that none of it matters. Theres no reason for me to create my own personal hell. No reason for me to cry and complain about having thousand dollar swings. Its like rekrul once said, that we are all in a very fortunate position to be able to make money clicking a mouse on a computer. Everyone in life has to deal with suffering. This is one of the noble truths dictated by the Buddha. My goal for the next year of my life is to begin freeing myself from suffering. To be able to play poker without it causing pain in my life.

yes I have been having multiple +8-12 buyin days lately, but I had a 1 buyin downswing last night lolz. The plan is everytime I feel something negative enter my mind to try to become instantly mindful of it and see it for what it really is. Also multiple meditation sessions throughout the day. The standard focusing on breath mind stilling type stuff, in addition to reflective meditations designed to get rid of negative energies. |

for me its more a question of what would I be doing if i hadn't wasted so much time playing starcraft, AND THEN gone on to piss around at poker. yeah, no point in crying about it, all you can do is learn from the past |
