Hi Raymond,

Yup - you make a great point and I now see how I was misunderstood.

Here's my take on it.

In my past experience when I was accumulating more debt, the minute I would come into money or cash I would get excited about paying my debt. The problem here is that I would see (picture) my debt balance and then get excited about it.

I was actually feeding the picture (of my credit balance) more power. It's subtle, I know.

Nowadays, I don't make the same picture - I don't even think about it, much. I think of earning money and that makes me feel good too, except now the picture I'm giving my power to is no longer my credit balance - it's my bank account balance.
