EXCELLENT way of putting it. "Fun" = "not working" = "guilt". That about sums it up.

You've got to radically change the way you think about things in order to obtain that which you desire. The mindset that cylon is describing is a VERY disempowering mindset to have towards financial abundance, time, goal setting...basically any facet of your personal success.
