Nice saying.
The problem is OPs mindset is fixed. He considers himself either a loser or a winner and acts accordingly. He should be focussed more on improving step by step and making that the measure of success, instead of an endgoal like X amount of bankroll.
Self-improvement is a very good measure and goal structure. Currently, OP has actually been making worse and worse decisions. Not sticking to his stakes, living large with his (lazy?) girlfriend, not studying, tilting, not eating healthy, not working out and now even
not working anymore.
However, since his goal is X amount of money, which is dependend on variance for a large part, OP does not realise how he is actually losing in life EV, being on his massive heater.
The importance of setting good goals is often overlooked. Why it matters is that it will be the baseline for your happiness, success and joy in life.
