There is your problem. Stop being so focused on the results and the emotional outlets that accompany this numbers game will not come with it. With this goal, you feel entitled to win that much money. If you don't meet it, you are a failure.
I'm sure that you are very competitive, and being a failure is not something you want to be. This competitve nature is really counterintutive to what makes optimal poker play. Competitveness says winning is everything, optimal poker play says just make the best decisions possible at each given interval. These two obviously counteract with one another on a fairly regular basis when playing.
Stop letting your bravado is getting in the way of making sound decisions, and you will probably very soon be a world class player.
