Eleven RULES of KINGS
everyone wants to be a king but few know what it takes to sit on the throne
here are 11 rules of kings to draw wisdom from
Number One
number one one cannot be king, if they can't even rule themselves what is a king without his kingdom and how can one rule anything
if they're unable to rule themselves in order to ascend to the throne you need to master yourself your actions your decision making ability for your kingdom depends on them
Number Two
number two most young kings get their heads cut off you might not be ready to be a king yet
but you're on your way jump the gun and ascend to the throne too quickly and those seeing the opportunity will take the crown for themselves
your time will come you need to prepare if you wish for your reign to be remembered
Number Three
number three come see conquer and move on life is a continuous conquest be it internally or externally as with everything in life you need to show up analyze the situation
do what must be done and then move on to the next conquest that's the only way to keep moving forward in life too many kings want kingdoms without the willingness to go into battle
Number Four
number four live by the principles you wish to be followed in your lands walk the walk people judge others based on their actions not their intent
whatever you do you set the standard for how others should behave at least in relation to you practice what you preach a good king passes down his teaching onto the populace a great king is remembered by the populace
Number Five
number five your ability to lead is your competitive advantage there's this alexander the great quote that we love don't be afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep be afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion
the paradox is the sheep lives its life being worried of the wolves but ends up being eaten by the shepherd a lion has no shepherd for a lion is free lead your team to victory and if you don't have a team lead yourself
Number Six
number six too many kings too few castles too many pharaohs too few pyramids it doesn't matter
if you proclaim yourself as king if there's no kingdom you have built be careful when too many proclaim themselves as kings for no kingdom can endure two kings
Number Seven
number seven there are no kings without armies a king without an army is just a civilian
waiting for a proper king to take his treasure for one to be a king you need to be able to protect what you care about build an army of people who care about the kingdom as much as you do and they will follow you into battle
Number Eight
number eight never interrupt your enemy when they're making a mistake most empires fall based on the decisions of their leaders mind your own and let everyone else run their own path in life
play life by your own strategy
Number Nine
number nine keep your friends within reach but no closer a shield only works if the enemy is on the other side be careful of the snakes in your garden for they have bridged the citadel's walls those closest to us can hurt us the most trust but don't be naive
Number Ten
number ten a queen needs a kingdom not a king to be queen you don't need someone to validate you you just need your achievements sure a power couple king and queen makes the ruling more bearable
and the dynasty lasts longer but it's not a requirement for the throne build your kingdom for you don't need anyone's permission to do so
Number Eleven
number eleven in the country of the blind the one eyed man is king that who has the slightest advantage over everyone else wins the race find your ability to see when others are blind what do you have eyes for that no one else around you sees that's where your kingdom awaits
