ACT XXV: Beach-Body šŸ–Mindset Series ā€˜Checkers or Chessā™Ÿā€˜ ??

Checkers or Chess?? ā™Ÿ

Soā€¦whatā€™s your choice? No restrictions! Ponder it for a second! You should know that Checkers & Chess have been around for a long long long long time. Checkers came first & is deeply rooted. Historians - now believe that the oldest form of checkers was played around 3,000 B.C.E. It was found by archeologists in an ancient city called Ur in šŸ‡®šŸ‡¶ Iraq.


Chess ā™Ÿ (aka Chaturanga) is relatively new by comparison. The earliest forms arose in the 6th century, with the modern form dating back to the 19th century. Thatā€™s relative! šŸ˜†


ME: I pick Checkers and Chess ā™Ÿ! Why? Iā€™m not cheating since I said no restrictions. Checkers - Thatā€˜s my foundation. My roots! Correct me - if you observe me forgetting who I am šŸ˜ƒ.. Chess - came via my Adaptability Skills:

  1. I am aware of changes in my environment.

  2. I developed a growth mindset.

  3. I set Personal goals and saw (see) them through.

  4. I asked for and Receive feedback and apply it.

  5. Plus - I Learned to acknowledge and accept change. (#LearnedMan)


Several cinema reference points - come to mind - where I see foundational checkers and matriculated chess:

1962 - ā€˜To Kill A Mocking Birdā€™;

1985 - ā€˜The Color Purpleā€™;

1992 - ā€˜Basic Instincts;

1996 - ā€˜The Rich Manā€™s Wifeā€™;

1997 - ā€˜How To Be A Playerā€™.

2003 - ā€˜The Italian Jobā€™;

2021 - ā€˜The Eternals Movieā€˜; &

2021 - ā€˜The Unforgivableā€˜.

All exhibited skills of adaptability. Checkers and Chess ā™Ÿ - deliberate & finely illustrated. You can add - just donā€™t delete from my list šŸ˜‚.


Thatā€˜s it my friend! Just prepare Strategicallyā€” Adapt!
