"The Secret" doesn't work for me. I tried it. I immersed myself into the "be open to the universe" culture. Without going into much detail, "The Secret" left me poorer, unfullfilled and more depressed than when I first discovered it.
"The Secret" is a sham. If there is any balance in the universe, for every attraction you create, you are taking that attraction away from someone else who may need that attraction MUCH more than you. They just don't realize it.
Where is this going? I have discovered that the Anti-Secret works much better. For me. Especially when I play poker.
After deciding to stop grinding, I've only been playing poker when the mood strikes me. Now playing just for the sake of playing, the results have been very good:
(Ignore the $3 average buy-in.) I've actually bubbled twice in these, which means I'm making the final table 57% of the time. Whether this is donkament variance or some actual skill showing, I don't care.
The point is, I play just to play. The results really do not matter - a win or a loss doesn't affect my life significantly either way. This is the Anti-Secret. You might call it by another name, but I'll still take it.

Fantasy hockey and NASCAR has made a timely return into my life. I can now grind the fantasy games consistently until baseball starts.
I took a few chances on the Daytona qualifying, I forgot that 3 of the 6 GOGH spots were clinched there. So I'm stuck hoping that Patrick Carpentier and Brian Vickers can race their way in during the Duels. If they don't miss the race, I'll be looking good for a sweep this week.
Let's see if I can shake the rust off my hockey jones. I think the looming trade deadline should shake things up a bit.
At any rate, it feels good to be the crusher instead of the crushee. That's no secret.
