They say the game of chess is the game of life.
When I was a child, I was never told things that could save my life or better me as a person. Now, playing back the past at the age of 32, I see I was a pawn on someone else’s chessboard. I didn’t know what I was doing or getting into — just moving.
My own people dogged me out at a young age by holding me back from school some days to babysit or to be transferred to another school, which never happened. There are people in your life that want to see you become successful and others who want you to just be a pawn.
But a pawn can take a king, or become royalty itself. Think before you move, it could cost you.
Life is like chess, you really look at the whole board. I had plenty of street coaches that showed me the street life, so that’s what I know: how to sacrifice the offering of something precious. The mind is a million dollar weapon, use it right, don’t let no one play with your life, King.
Please, everyone, before you start your day with your family, just think before you move your life onto someone else’s chessboard, young pawnzie!
