I think people use variance to rationalize why they are only small winners or losing. I always take the mentality that my results are based on my play. People act like there is some outside force beyond their control. Well there isn't your results are based off of your actions and nothing else. People need to take responsibility for there losses and realize they are to blame for losing and not some statistical anomaly. When I am losing or on a downswing I don't blame variance or bad luck I look to myself, because I know that I am probably off my game. I take responsibility for the losses and look to improve my game. I know this is kind of a rant but my one point that I think can help 95% of players on this board is this; Take responsibility for your play and results. Both are a direct cause from your actions.

I agree with this, and think more people should look at their results this way. BUT, limit holdem is a different animal than your main games.
