King of the Birds, Lord of the Skies
Gather ye rose buds while ye may, old time is still a flying;
and this same rose that you see today, tomorrow will be dying.

Chess and Luck

"The good player is always lucky."

- Jose Capablanca
1888-1942

Change from Inside Out

"If you want to achieve more money, a happier lifestyle, or any other goal in life, you have to change from the inside out - the reverse order from what you've probably been taught.

Ask yourself whether your most dearly held beliefs are serving you or not. Do they help you create the life of your dreams? Or, do they limit you and the people you love?

Be bold enough and smart enough to see past where you are right now and take hold of what's rightfully yours. You deserve to decide for yourself exactly what and who you'll become, and what you'll acquire along the way."

"YOU ARE CREATING A LIFE NO MATTER WHAT, SO YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE IT ALL".

Yes, you CAN have it all!
If you know the formula.

Look Carefully!

If you look at what you have in life, you'll always have more.
If you look at what you don't have in life, you'll never have enough.

A Knight Planted Wrongly
