Sometimes the changes in your life will be planned with strategy, optimism, and intention. Other changes, however, will catch you by surprise, sabotage your success, break your heart, cause you stress, or leave you feeling lost. Whether you are dealing with planned or unplanned change, there will always be a degree of adaptation and reorientation required in order for you to be resilient. Susan C. Young
About This Quote

Life is one big game of chess. Life is an awesome experience that requires you to adapt to new situations and learn how to play the game. Everyone has their unique challenges, beliefs, and attitudes that lead them to be successful at life. Some people use the game of chess as a way to improve certain skills while others use it as a way to pass time.

However, no matter what type of person you are, there will always be times when you will have to face life’s challenges. Sometimes these challenges come from outside sources but most of the time it is simply your own mindset that causes you to fail. For example, I used to be one of those people who would try everything in their power to succeed.

Then one day I decided that success was simply something I must achieve on my own terms. During this process, I had to experience failure for myself and learn how to adapt accordingly.
