How The Game of Chess Kept The Pounds Off

Wow, this is one of the best audios that I have heard in a long time.
One of my own personal coaches sent this to me, and he’s encouraged me to pass it along.
I was a competitive chess player a long, long time ago as a teenager. I haven’t played the game since then, but this 20-min interview reminded me of all the life lessons I’ve learned. Lessons I’ve used to maintain a healthy weight – without sweating it.
As I listened, it jogged memories of how I’ve incorporated certain habits in my life that have led to unconscious healthy choices, as well as conscious deliberate actions.
Some of these lessons are:
- Every move you make has consequences. Think before you move.
- The principle of delayed gratification.
- KASH is king.
- Looking at a situation from both sides.
- How to question everything.
- The key to success is information and acting on information. Losing a game is information, learn from it.
- The biggest mistake you can do is to give up.
Here’s my favorite quote from Orrin Hudson:
“If you stop fighting for what you want,
what you DON’T WANT will take over.”
