Shhhh...Be Vewy, Vewy Quiet.

Lessons from the 64 squares...

"Everything that's created comes out of silence. Your thoughts emerge from the nothingness of silence. Your words come out of this void. Your very essence emerged from emptiness. All creativity requires some stillness."-Wayne Dyer

In chess, we affectionately call the bishop "The Assassin". It sits in the shadows of the other pieces, relatively unseen. Many a game has been lost from a player who forgot the bishop was sitting at the other end of the board bearing down on the king. It's not the brash movement of the bishop that gets you...it's the silent stillness.

In life, less is often more. There is an immense amount of power in silence. Don't announce your every move. Sometimes, we should simply sit back, watch and wait. Then, when the time is right, let your actions announce your entrance. While the world takes every chance to jump in the spotlight, master the shadows. Read. Meditate. Pray. Focus. Think. These are the keys to greatness. Leave the "rah rah" to the cheerleaders. #NOTG #ChessInRealLife #MoveInSilence #ShutUpAndDo #WarriorMindset #Shhhhhhhhh
