Simple question: If you are a poker player, why did you start playing?
Simple answer: To have fun.
Now some of you may have said to make money, but I would argue initially it was to have fun either online or with some friends and to hopefully come out ahead at the end of the day. Then when you found out you could really make some good money, it became far more interesting. Nevertheless, in the beginning it was for fun.
Why do I bring this up? Because I have been miserable of late. Losing day after day for weeks or months on end is horrible on one's spirit. This isn't just in poker. If you do any competitive activity and you lose repeatedly, it isn't going to be fun. This doesn't mean you don't still love to play the game.
So here is my theory, hypothesis, or whatever: I will play poker to have fun so that I will win. I will not play poker to win money so that I have fun.

Perfect - my exact philosophy.
Finally!!!! Now stick to it. For how stubborn you can be, be stubborn in sticking to this philosophy. You will be happier. Close ones that care about you will be happier. And you'll turn that ski slope upside down.
I would have to say that most of the truly financially wealthy people in the world enjoyed their work even before they struck it big. I think it is difficult for extremely competitive people to play "just for fun" without getting emotionally involved as well. I know for me the "edge" is the fire that starts to burn inside. Play because you truly enjoy the competition, but remember to play with a fire that says I am as good or better than the other players on the field.
