I heard quite similar advice, but it was stated in two other ways. I don't remember the exact words, but the basic essence was along these lines:
1. If you're worried about the money you've already bet and it causes you not to play your usual game, you're are playing at a stakes level that's too high for you.
2. You have to understand that once you put money into the pot, it's no longer yours. It's just money that's there to be won.
