Obsessive personality

Since finding this site a few years ago, there hasn't been a 36 hour period where I haven't checked it at least once. Not kidding. Obsessive? Maybe.

Well, I will say this: I've been visiting this site off and on for about 6 years. When I didn't come here, my game suffered and I became much less "obsessive." But when I do visit this site, it becomes part of a consuming drive to get better. For the first time in my poker life, I've set very specific goals about what limits I want to play and what I want to learn, etc. As a result of having these goals, the majority of my time is spent thinking about or playing the game.

Because of my expereinces, I think that the drive to succeed does not necessarily need to be something that you are born with or not. I think that it can be a choice, too.
