You Are the Absolute Monarch of Your Life

Today I’m going to talk about one of the best approaches you can take towards your own life.

I would like for you to think about yourself as the absolute monarch of your own life.

I’m going to explain why this is useful for your long term goals and success in life.

Let’s begin!

What is Absolute Monarchy?

When a country has an absolute monarch, it is ruled by one person for life.

That person has final say in all decisions.

That person is the absolute top of the societal ladder and controls everything in the kingdom, from finances to military strategy.

In your life, YOU are the absolute monarch.

Who Should Rule Your Life?

The person who should rule your life is YOU.

As the monarch of your own state, you decide what is correct and what isn’t.

Even if other people want to tell you what to do, you, as the king, have final say in whether those suggestions are followed or not.

No-one else has authority to tell you what to do.

At any moment, subjects in your kingdom can be expelled, for whatever reason you choose.

You run the state, no matter what anyone says.

Who Determines Your Strategy for Life?

Ás the absolute monarch of your life, YOU determine your strategy.

Your strategy should be all-encompassing for your life.

Every aspect has to be thought of and strategically planned for.

How should the ruler eat? Sleep? Seduce women? Work?

YOU decide that.

You have the final decision.

As the monarch, it is a big responsibility, but ultimately, no one else has the AUTHORITY to make that call.

No-one else has permission to tell you what to do or how to do it.

YOU have the final say, no matter the situation in your life.

How Do Rulers Behave?

Effective rulers must always make decisions with the kingdom in mind and not with their personal feelings.

Rulers that are unable to separate emotions from statecraft are quickly deposed or assassinated.

You, as the king, need to always make decisions that benefit the kingdom, even if your feelings say otherwise.

To a king, feelings are less important than the effective running of his kingdom.

As the monarch, you MUST make sure that all final decisions are for the benefit of your kingdom, and not for others.

No Matter What Your Feelings Are, Your Responsibility Is to the Kingdom

As I have said above, your personal feelings do NOT come above the requirements of your kingdom.

If something in your life asks for an emotional decision, think about how it will affect your kingdom FIRST.

If it is not a good strategic move which will improve your kingdom, you must NOT make it.

Your responsibility is to your kingdom and NOT to your feelings.

One day, your feelings might pull you in one direction, and another day your feelings might pull you in a different one.

Feelings cannot be relied upon to make strategic decisions for the kingdom.

You must rationally and objectively plan for the good of your kingdom.

Every action you take must keep in mind the state of the kingdom!

Machiavelli

Machiavelli said it best:

“All courses of action are risky, so prudence is not in avoiding danger (it’s impossible), but calculating risk and acting decisively. Make mistakes of ambition and not mistakes of sloth. Develop the strength to do bold things, not the strength to suffer.”

You need to make decisions where risk is calculated.

It is impossible to avoid making mistakes, but mistakes as a result of boldness are much better than mistakes of laziness.

Go out and do what is best for the kingdom, regardless of how lazy you’re feeling that day.

You need to make decisions for your kingdom constantly, don’t let those decisions be ruled by your emotions or any other person.

Another important thing that Machiaveli spoke of was punishment.

If your punishments are not harsh, they will not be effective, and the person you punished in this manner will seek revenge.

What I mean, is that in your relationships with people, if a person is constantly doing things that are bad for your kingdom, they should be ruthlessly expelled from your kingdom.

People that are not on board with your goals in life do not deserve a place in your kingdom.

Withdraw attention from these people completely and do not look back.

What Happens If You Are Deposed As the Ruler of Your Life?

If you are deposed as the ruler of your life, someone else is making decisions for you.

When someone else is making decisions for you, you are not a king, but a peasant.

NEVER let anyone else hold the reins of power in your life!

Not only will you be severely unhappy if someone else holds the reins of your kingdom, you will also be ruled by them.

When you are ruled by someone else (like your intimate partner for example), your kingdom’s resources are siphoned in order to improve their kingdom, and not yours.

Effectively, you have been annexed for the benefit of another kingdom.

NEVER let this happen to you.

Betas

In our analogy, betas are an annexed kingdom.

They are no longer the true monarch of their kingdom, but a servant of another kingdom.

Obviously, no one has respect for a puppet king.

Never let your kingdom fall into a state where you are puppeted by another kingdom for their own ends!

Betas do this willingly!

They throw away their power in the hope that the gift of power makes the kingdom that annexed them happy.

It never does.

Instead, it ensures that for the foreseeable future, the taxes on the annexed state will continue to grow, as do other demands.

Annexed states NEVER have a good time.

You are much better off holding the power for yourself than giving it away!

Stay Strong And Firm As the King

As the monarch of your kingdom, it is your job to hold firm to your beliefs.

Do not let anyone hold the reins of power.

It is your job to make the final decision in all matters and to ensure that those decisions lead to good long term outcomes for you.

Never let someone else make state decisions for you!

Conclusion

You are the absolute monarch of your life.

It is your job to make sure that you rule for life and are never deposed.

Make sure that all of your decisions are made with the future of your kingdom in mind.

Do not make emotional decisions when it comes to your kingdom!

Stay strong!
