I am King - ruling over my own life!

Here is a little story extracted from one of Maxwell's books - "Leadership Gold".

Frederick the Great of Prussia was walking along the outskirts of Berlin when he encountered a very old man walking ramroad straight in the opposite direction.  He was slightly miffed when he old man merely nodded in recognition of his authority.
"Who are you?" Federick demanded.
"I am a king, sire," replied the old man almost regally.
"A king?" laughed Federick, thinking that this was a senile subject. "Over what kingdom do you reign?"
"Over myself, sir. Always over me, " was the proud reply before he smartly walked off.

Whether the old man is senile or not, I supposed that we need a reminder that we can be, or in fact , are, the 'monarchs' of our own lives.  ...It is not about real power or how much money or property that we have.
One can be 'king' simply by taking charge and control over our actions and impulses.

We are the ones who are responsible for ruling what we do, feel and think. 
"We need to consistently make good decisions, to take the right action when needed, and to refrain from the wrong actions requires character and self-discipline. To do otherwise is to lose control of ourselves - to do or say things we regret, to miss opportunities we are given, to spend ourselves into debt."

Once again, it boils down to attitude.
Attitude which shapes our character and spirit.

Hmm....ok...I now can dream of being 'Queen'
...haha...
