Maritza,
You seem to have embraced the essence of the book! You appear to be totally understand the concept of the being the board. I enjoyed your insightful comment












Please find Maritzas blog post below:
When "the way things are" inhibits you from progress, motivation, or seemingly any accomplishment, you can tell yourself you are the board on which this game is being played. It is possible to transform the rules of your world into opportunities to take challenges and breakdowns and realize that you have made the choice of your own free will to allow these things to victimize you. I choose to allow the situation to ground me and clip my wings. Now I can choose to rethink and transform the design of the game to work in my favor. How did I get here? I have been telling myself I am the victim. I really can make a difference by designing my conversation and actions to effectively repair breakdowns. I am not to blame; I have just not removed the barriers in my thinking. I have made some incorrect assumptions, and that is the source of my difficulty. I myself am the tool and the means by which I control the relationships and actions within them. In this manner I begin to make a difference and change the persons and circumstances that I viewed as stifling into partnerships working toward the same goal in the larger picture.
