Queen in Chess

If the queen got captured, the game goes on, because the primary objective in chess is to attack the opponent's king and put it in check. The king remains and tries to survive the game without its queen. The queen is its greatest loss, but how the game works is somehow just the same as how life itself works. One of the realities in life is that I will die alone and so will you, and in the game the queen won't die with its king. But you see, the impact of the queen's demise to the game, to the other pieces in its team and to the player himself is tremendous; to begin with, it is important, it is clever, it protects, it is fearless and it is powerful. Its lifespan in the game could come to an end just like the rest of the pieces, but these components it proves in the game and its role as a queen will stay. These will never die and always be remembered by the player.

Just in case nobody is reminding you or you do not know yet, you were born to be a queen. You are the queen, not the kind of queen who is well-known, possessing luxuries and being admired by all and sundry but the queen with so much functions; the queen in the board game. You are important, clever, fearless, powerful and can protect, you understand? You have been carrying these with you throughout your life and existence. Now I want you to operate yourself like the queen in the game of chess and do not let yourself forfeit without fighting and giving your all.

You got no king yet? It is not an excuse to not fight. Remember, in chess, the king's battle is the queen's battle and to protect the king, the queen must slay the enemy out of its strength and capabilities. It just means you can not fight for your king if you can not fight for yourself. Your king's battle is not the only battle where you must fight. You have your own battle before that and it is the battle that is going on right now where you have to overcome the enemies in several forms that the Deity has assigned to test only you. So when finally the time of the arrival of your king comes, you know with all your heart that you can safeguard him. Like in chess, with confidence and courage, you will be next to him preparing to face a battle and this time, together you will fight. You will protect him with what you have got, and he will protect you with what he gathered and developed himself when he was fighting his own battle: intelligence, bravery, toughness and his sense of leadership ―in the shape of pawn, bishop, knight and rook. 

If that is not a beautiful team then I do not know what is.
