However, you must be disciplined enough to play every hand correctly, regardless of whether you are winning or losing.

This sums it up. Poker is about making correct decisions every hand. If you are tilting , then you are not making correct decisions and should stop playing until the tilt has subsided.

I track my winnings like everyone else, but I always look at a graph that shows my bankroll from when I started until today. That helps me put things in perspective. A couple of bad sessions barely registers as a dent in the chart.
