Events in life are like a chess game, you make moves against life itself, some of those moves act to shorten the spam of your life. Others can lengthen it considerably. Like chess, life can be long and gruelling, it can sometimes seem relentless. And sometimes, it can seem like you’re stuck. But all you really need to do is stand back, take a look of the board as a whole, take your opponents position and gage his reaction. And that’s when you find your way out.
Like in all games sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Whatever the outcome, it matters little. Because when you lose you learn not to make the same mistakes again, you learn to not be read so easily, and to become predictable. From winning you learn the tricks to succeed and find your way out the situations life plays into your hands. You are your own king, and you secure your own future. Although, If you’re very lucky, you’ll have your own queen to watch your back and demolish all that stands in your way, all that forces you to check.
