Start looking at EVERY PERSON in your life as a piece in your story—someone who can shift things at any moment. When you see it that way, you realize life is about strategy. Chess, not checkers. Sometimes, you gotta knock off that pawn. That move might be the key to your next step, the thing that clears the illusion and makes room for what’s actually yours— and if that’s not a good enough reason. Do it for your peace.
