Are you playing a short-term tactic or a long-term strategy? Life, like a complex game of chess, is defined by the moves we make. But unlike a solitary game, our board is shared. In this episode, we explore the powerful metaphor of Life as a Chess Game, where every decision—big or small—sends a ripple effect across the board, impacting not just our position, but the lives of everyone around us. We discuss the lag time of karma (why results often take time to manifest), the importance of foresight, and the ultimate question: Are your moves setting up a game of connection and victory for all, or are you unwittingly sacrificing the pieces that matter most? Join us to learn how to become a Grandmaster of kindness and intent.
