Life is chess.
But WAY easier.
Like chess you are moving one piece at a time.
Developing your resources to ideally make winning inevitable.
Right now, you know this to be true. That’s good.
You realize that you could swoop over the board in a single move with a Queen or Rook.
Yet you don’t have the drive needed to push yourself to make such a big play.
That’s when it’s good to think about the chess solution to such a hesitation.
In a timed-game, move before time runs out for you. Or lose from doubt and overthinking.
What the best players do.
Accept the rules and recognize there’s only one best move to make. Either do that one move or choose a lesser option.
So we assess the board considering the response to your move, what you have to gain, and what you have to lose.
It’s only then do we make a righteous move. Confident and assured of victory.
The same applies to life.
There’s only so many moves you can make. And there’s only so many responses to that move.
If you learn to slow down your thoughts and emotions, you can see the BIGGER PICTURE of your moves akin to a hawk scanning terrain for a quick kill.
Become confident when dealing with adversity by reading the board of life.
That is how you replace blunders for perfect Grandmaster plays.
If you want to learn a simple framework for dealing with emotions and using them as fuel for your winning moves…
