If you do normal things youre going to have a normal life.
If you do exceptional things youre going to have an exceptional life.
If you do normal things but believe you deserve and exceptional life youre an arrogant moron.
In chess.
There is no luck. NONE.
If you lose.
Somewhere - at some point. You fucked up.
Even if only a tiny bit.
YOU MADE A MISTAKE.
And you must accept full responsibility.
Life is the same.
Every man wants to be seen as a tough guy.
But most don’t want to fight.
So they take steroids or talk about body fat %.
Get a bunch of tattoos.
Anything to avoid actually getting in the cage and doing it.
If you can fight. Fight.
Easiest way to feel happy is to change your perception and measurement of happiness.
Stop aiming for unrealistic ideals. You’re an adult.
Sometimes you’re pissed off.
Be angry AND happy.
I WOKE UP!
Sooner or later.
One of these days.
That’ll never happen again.
And the game will be over.
But that day isn’t today motherfuckers.
SO LETS GET IT.
If you sat and focused.
Could you make yourself cry?
Could you think the dark thoughts, remember the pain.
Do you control your own mind?
YES OR NO.
Life is duality.
I can think myself into elation.
I can depress myself beyond reason.
I am the master of my world.
There is very little in the world you CAN control.
You can not control other people, try as you might.
Even your health can be decimated at the whim of a predator.
The only thing you can affect in REAL TIME is your OWN MIND.
Most people view life wrong.
When in a shitty chess position, you can sit and wish the rules of chess would change.
Rules which have been the same for 5000 years.
Or you can accept the parameters and make the best possible move on the board. Even if defeat is certain.
