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.”
