It’s clobberin’ time! And goal-setting time! (With all due respect to Derek Sivers and his TED talk, I have to tell people my goals. I think announcing our goals, even though sometimes we may give less effort in achieving them, is just one part of the puzzle. We’re social creatures. Whether we like it or not, we need other people. A lot of times, the motivation to set a goal in itself comes from wa ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/83761-SNAP-out-of-it-">(continued)</a>
Change of message time. Whatever I’m doing right now isn’t working. This Zen-Buddhist-Philosopher poker player thing I got going on now is nice, but it’s just talk. And talk is cheap. I have goals to achieve. Places I want to be. I have to get busy. I gotta get volume, gotta get motivation to get volume. I have to strike a primal urge. There’s nothing healthy about this need to become the ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/83211-Change-Greed-Is-Good-">(continued)</a>
From Wikipedia: Ben Hogan is generally considered one of the greatest players in the history of the game of golf and widely acknowledged to have been the greatest ball striker ever to have played golf. “You hear stories about me beating my brains out practicing, but I was enjoying myself. I couldn’t wait to get up in the morning so I could hit balls. When I’m hitting the ball where I want, hard and ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/82211-Old-Master-Speaks">(continued)</a>
I’ve been losing my focus this past 2 weeks. I could go on and on about what I think my problems are, sure, I could do that, but then I’d be sitting here for 2 hours writing on my blog instead of playing a session. I work 40 hours a week, and I’m trying to become an expert in another field at the same time. Sacrifices have to be made. Sacrifices will be made . That’s just how it is. I’m not goin ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/81851-Lockdown-Pt-2">(continued)</a>
[I’m just going to keep posting sections from Mastery on my blog. I love books that keep growing on me. I love it when my first impressions are wrong. Unexpected gifts are that much sweeter!] An excerpt from Mastery: The Keys to Success and Long-Term Fulfillment by George Leonard: Good Horse, Bad Horse In his book Zen Mind, Beginner’s Mind , Zen master Shunryu Suzuki approache ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/79571-Good-Horse-Bad-Horse">(continued)</a>
“I have gathered a garland of other men’s flowers, and nothing is mine but the cord that binds them.” – Montaigne A QUOTER’S GUIDE TO OPTIMISM “Fortitudine vincimus” (By endurance we conquer) – Shackleton family motto “That which we persist in doing becomes easier for us to do; not that the nature of the thing itself is changed, but that our power to do is increased.” – Ralph Wald ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/77511-A-Quoter-s-Guide-to-Optimism">(continued)</a>
[repost from forum thread: High Neuroticism – quit poker? ] I just finished reading George Leonard’s “Mastery,” and even though it was written almost 20 years ago, it distills everything else I’ve read in the past 3 years about talent and skill into a short, if not qualified, read. I say it’s not qualified since the author wants the reader to “surrender” (being one of the 5 master keys ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/nawhead/75791-Master-teach-me-your-ways">(continued)</a>
What a strange word. Blog. It’s almost like a Scandinavian religious word or something: Loki 4:22 ‘And Valhalla was empty for a time and half a time. Loki shook the heavens with his voice, and it let loose a giant blog. And the humans were afraid.’ I’m thinking this is an excellent way to keep an online journal. So that’s exactly what I’m gonna do. I’m Canadian, in my 20’s. I am a student at University in f ... <a href="http://www.deucescracked.com/blogs/theboymustdie/68531-YO-">(continued)</a>
