That was told to me by a shooting instructor, but it applies as well to every game of skill or sport.

If it's not just for poker, though IMO it works for poker too, the best advice I've received is that you can't have a positive life and a negative mind... Similarly, in your poker 'career' you need to put the work on and off the tables, trust the process without being too much result oriented(especially don't expect to get rich fast), just grind and try to play close to your A game as often as possible and the results will come... being negative for sure won't ever help you be successful...

The best advice I received was from a friend of mine, and it was about disciplined play. I've always had problems with discipline, and unfortunately, I still do. But I try to stick to bankroll management and am gradually getting better results.

This really resonates. The mindset piece gets overlooked so often, but it affects every decision you make at the table and away from it. Putting in consistent work, staying patient, and focusing on playing your best instead of chasing short-term results is huge. Variance is unavoidable in poker, but a negative mindset only magnifies it and leads to worse decisions. Trusting the process and showing up with the best version of your game is really the only thing you can control, and over time that’s what actually moves the needle.

That's a truly unique way of thinking; I think I should probably shift my mindset in this direction.

The best advice I’ve ever received was: focus on the quality of your decisions, not the short-term results.
If you keep making good decisions consistently, the results will come sooner or later, even if variance hurts in the short run. This mindset helps me stay disciplined and not rely on luck.
