Chess, One Day by Masumi Taguchi

Hello lovely people :)

The other day I got to speak to someone who is a high level chess player. He taught me a bit about the chess world and also shared some chess basics. I learned that chess games can last about seven hours. To make each move you get a certain amount of time. As the game gets deeper you get more and more limited amounts of time to decide where to place your player. Hearing these rules reminded me of everyday life. We have a cute 24 hours every day, and at the start of our day we get to choose how we want the game to go and act accordingly with the goal we set in our hearts. If we were to say, "I want to improve at X today", within each hour we get to choose how to make that goal happen. 

What do you wish for today?

"I want to smile"

"I want to tell my family I care"

"I want to cultivate better friendships"

"I want to get out of bed today"

"I want to learn a new hobby"

"I want to love"

"I want to feel okay"

Mine is "I want to speak more clearly today."
Your want is valid and important, no matter how small it may seem.
