I came home today completely disgusted from my tournament results thus far and with a love /hate relationship with poker.
My moral was way down... So I grabbed a copy of "the Secret". For those who do not know what it is, "The Secret" is a book on positive mind set. It teaches you how to make your dreams come true through the laws of attraction. I read it before but it's been quite a while ago and felt I could use some reading on positivism. I am 2 chapter in and it totally works! I can see that I was looking at things from the wrong angles!
Here are a few quotes on the subject that I think you guys might like:

started with a dream and a mouse". ~Walt Disney

"Just play, have fun. Enjoy the game" ~Michael Jordan
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right". ~Henry Ford
"No matter how hard the past, one can always begin again today". ~Buddha
Now that I am getting all pumped up again, I will play some satellites tomorrow and kick some major ass at poker in the weeks to come!
I am sooo reading the whole book!
