It is about breaking your conditioned response to certain situations. If you lose your bank after building it up time and again it is a habit you have set in motion. No matter how much you will it to stop it will continue.

You have to break those patterns you have established for yourself. Find a way to break your pattern.

Be lucky all. (there's no such thing as luck long term either, you reap what you sow).

some may not agree with this and others may not need to heed the message, but if it helps one person then it will not have been in vain.

I was taught by a good gambler that the definition of madness (in life as well as gambling) is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

THERE'S A HOLE IN MY SIDEWALK
Autobiography in Five Short Chapters
By Portia Nelson

Chapter One
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost .... I am helpless.
It isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter Two
I walk down the street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend that I don't see it.
I fall in again.
I can't believe I am in this same place.
But, it isn't my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in ... it's a habit ... but, my eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter Five
I walk down another street

Megabelly, no I haven't. I posted this to try to help someone out there who may need it and somewhere or another here there will definitely be someone that does.

Thank you for your constructive post.

Interesting post Starfish, pretty much sums up where I'm coming from. I'll check that book out.
