Life is, from time to time, described as a game of chess. Most of the time we are merely the pawns in the greater game. Sometimes you increase your rank through life but only on your little chess board. If you look any higher than that, then you will see that in the bigger picture you are simply a pawn again.
You can see this as a bad thing and sulk that you are never good enough or you can see it as a great thing that you always have something higher to strive for. You can also just settle for the board you are playing on, get comfortable and take care of the others that surround you.
If you do intend to climb onto the bigger boards through life, do it with dignity. Play nicely. Be careful with the other pawns in life as they are just as important to your success as you can be to theirs. You also never know when one of these pawns meets you one day as your rook or your bishop or maybe even your king. How things progress from there will be based on how situations have been handled in the past.
Some days you are the pigeon. Others days you are the statue!
When all is said and done though, just remember, this game of chess, this game of life, is yours to do with as you please. Try play it in a way that you can help others have a little fun and enjoyment too!
