In the chess game of life, you are faced with a particular universe of choices at any given moment.
Life is like a game of cards. The hand that is dealt you represents determinism; the way you play it is free will.
Jawaharlal Nehru
With every move, that universe is reconfigured, creating new possibilities and eliminating old ones.
Every turn in your life, every time you decide, you become parent to all your alternate selves who follow.
Richard Bach
The grand masters, having learned to see the world through God’s eyes, welcome each moment with acceptance and gratitude.
The less you know about the game, and the less you remember you’re a player, the more senseless living becomes.
Richard Bach
Accepting and appreciating every outcome typically leads to greater emotional and material rewards than a mindset intent on specific results.
To offer no resistance to life is to be in a state of grace, ease, and lightness. This state is then no longer dependent upon things being in a certain way, good or bad. It seems almost paradoxical, yet when your inner dependency on form is gone, the general conditions of your life, the outer forms, tend to improve greatly.
Eckhart Tolle
