I've been thinking about this today and I realized that life is likely a game of chess. The king (your most valuable asset, aka time ) has to be protected otherwise you lose the game. Same thing in life, if you give your time to others you are likely to lose the game.
The enemy (procrastination, bad habits, laziness, poor choices) will try to rip you off if you don't take control of the game. The Queen (goals, progress, good habits, intelligence) is your best friend. In chess you have to think multidimensionally. Same thing in life, you have to think long-term and aim for a better future.
Anticipation is the key. You have to adapt to any change or you will be confused and you won't know what you are doing. The fastlane (smart moves) requires careful planning and powerful thinking otherwise you are more vulnerable to the oponnent(the sidewalk). A fastlaner (the winner) act proactively, he is always on offensive. As opposite, the sidewalker (the loser) plays passively, hope for better and is blind to potential opportunities.
In chess, you play to win, to dominate the opponent. Not to lose and being a victim. You want to control the game (your life).
This point of this analogy is to show you that YOU are the main vehicle of your life and no one else will take action for you. So stop dreaming and wake up!
