We all wait.
We are also kept waiting.
It’s a power play.
Who wins is anybody's guess.
Reykjavík, 1972.
World Chess Championship.
Bobby Fischer versus Boris Spassky.
Fischer’s secret weapon?
The wait...
Fischer won.
I faced a similar situation, once.
A crucial job interview.
The chairman played Fischer.
Kept me waiting.
Ninety minutes!
I was a wreck.
So nervous, I toppled a showpiece.
But caught it mid-fall.
Maybe that reflex snagged him.
I landed the job.
Waiting stirs anxiety.
Uncertainty bites.
Wasted time frustrates.
Mind races to worst-case endings.
Fight or flight?
The counter move?
Steal back the pause.
Dive into distractions.
Read. Daydream. Breathe.
The game is testing:
Your patience. Your sanity.
Don’t wait. Don't give up.
Reframe.
