Great line of reasoning, no doubt to be able to see other ways to reach the goals should be rather the best direction to be followed, it is just that many times just because we are at 30.20 positions of a giant award our subconscious begins to imagine the many things that will be possible with that prize, creating a self esteem and hope that distract us from the focus of playing hand to hand and making decisions with friesa even after winning a big pot and becoming CL we still go a long way to create all this arsenal of happiness that can turn into a nightmare in a few minutes ... The way is to keep the focus and step up step by step, without self sabotaging with anticipated expectations. Thank you very much for your attention !!! 
My pleasure. The thought process here is along the same vein of, when you're playing in a tourney that is still in late registration and you've quadrupled up your stack in the first hour, your ecstatic. But you lose on a river and all of a sudden your stack is cut in half. Now, its still twice the size of the starting stack...but on an intelectual/emotional level because you've lost half your chips you don't think you've double your starting stack but instead you interpret the events as having lost half of all your chips.
Because of that--the guy who just entered the tournament and increased his stack by 10% his very first hand-- is now in a much healthier/optimal place mentally than you because he's more content about his 10% upswing than you are about your overall 100% upswing from your starting stack.
To take that a step further...when we stop looking at the immediate results (how we placed) of our tournament and instead aggresively look to improve our game and our control of our emotions...thats what directs your trajectory to be one of either succes or failure...the cashes are wonderful...but what is forever more valuable than our cashes, is our ability/knowlege to be able to get there again on a regular basis.
Thats what I'm working on learning and applying right now.
