Your success, and how you look at it, is like playing chess. Think about that for a moment.
You play against your opponent, using strategic moves to try and out-wit him/her. Each move made brings you hopefully closer to "Check-mate". This could go on for hours, maybe even days before one leaves the table a winner. One thing for sure, somebody is going to win!
Success is the game, you sit on the one side, and TIME (is your opponent in this case) sits on the other. To lose this game is to lose in life, the things you wish to acquire; your dreams, aspirations, gone.
At the same time, TIME doesn't have to be your opponent, if you do your due diligence. What in the world are we talking about?
YOUR SUCCESS!
Successful people don't sit around and wait for things to come their way, because they won't come. You have to go and get success for yourself. Success could be monetary, fame, a great family, life style, or just a sense of well-being.
No matter how you view success, time can be your friend or your foe. Procrastination is a great time annihilator, "Maybe I'll wait till tomorrow." Maybe it's false humility, "I'll never be able to do that!"
"It takes about 21 days to make a new habit routine, it
takes about 30 days to prohibit a bad habit from staying."
I remember in one particular shop I worked years ago I would walk by the vending machines and say to it "You're poison!" Yes, I was trying to watch my weight and sugar, yet also making a life style change to boot. It was a bit venomous at first (because I had to come from the office and back in through the same door thru-out the day; you guessed it, the machine greeted you at that door.) seeing all those goodies, but in time they looked like poison to me.
At the same time I was creating a new habit. Eating more of the right foods. It all takes TIME. Time to build new thoughts and ideas, and time to break down the old ones. They should go hand in hand.
When you take away what was there you must replace it asap, or you will revert back to the old way fast.
Example: Take away snacks, such as candy bars, replacement can be granola bars. Take away news paper, replacement can be books to help you grow your business or career.

In part, I would remind you that, "Life is a Checkerboard, and the player opposing you is TIME. If you hesitate before moving, or neglect to move promptly, your men will be wiped off the board by TIME. You are playing against a partner who will not tolerate INDECISION!" Napoleon Hill
