Personal Sovereignty

[Mr.Giraffe666]

I want to share here a philosophy I've been working on lately. I've even written a small book on the topic. But here's the main message.

Personal Sovereignty​

You must have a sovereign attitude in life.

This is your only life. There are no second chances. No rehearsals.

Your greatest power is not over the world. It is over yourself.

You cannot control politics, the economy, culture, society, other people, or misfortune.

You can always control your character, your actions, and your response.

That is your Sovereignty.

Be financially sovereign. Mentally sovereign. Emotionally sovereign. Psychologically sovereign.

Do not ask for permission to be who you are. Do not hand anyone the authority to determine your worth. Never surrender your authority to others.

You are the ultimate authority over your own life.

Do not allow distractions, outrage, family drama, the opinions of strangers, or any of that bullshit to derail you from your path.

Be disciplined. Stay focused. Act wisely. Take ownership of yourself.

A sovereign individual is like a great stone tower. The storm does not command it. The wind does not move it. Its strength comes from foundations that run deeper than the weather.

Stand firm when everything around you changes.

Claim your Sovereignty.

Principle N.º 1: Trust Your Lived Experiences​

If you experienced something in the past, or are experiencing it right now, that’s reality. That’s not your opinion.

Yes, your senses can be flawed, and your perception can be incomplete or even biased in some way. But even then, a lived experience remains the closest approximation to truth, as it’s the most direct way we encounter reality.

The moment someone tries to refute or downplay something you have experienced, stop engaging with them.

Don’t let others gaslight you. It doesn’t matter even if they are the world’s leading expert on the topic. Don’t concede to anyone who tries to invalidate the reality you have experienced.

Principle N.º 2: Trust Your Intuition​

Intuition is something strange. It’s a kind of sense within you, almost like a vibe. Often, you can’t even explain it. It doesn’t manifest as logical, language-based reasoning, but more like a feeling. This feeling can be reliable. There will be times in your life when, for some reason, you feel compelled to make one decision over another.

You don’t quite know why, and it’s not something you could even justify or present an argument for. But it’s a sense that guides you away from one path or pushes you toward another, without you fully understanding the ”why”. This sense can sometimes be confused with ego or emotional impulses, so it’s important to be cautious. However, intuition is a powerful tool that, when honed, should be trusted.

Thank you for sharing that powerful message @Mr.Giraffe666. I have to work on not letting anyone's opinion determine your worth, but I agree that we have only one life, stay focussed

Principle N.º 3: Grow a F*cking Pair​

We all end up in situations we hate - soul-crushing jobs, toxic relationships, or lives that feel like slow death. Sometimes, it’s just a rough patch. But other times, it’s because we’ve gone soft. We’ve grown scared of losing that job, that partner, that routine. Scared we won’t find anything better. And so the years slip by, and life gets worse, because you’re spending 8 hours a day doing something you hate, or stuck with someone who treats you like crap.

Grow a pair and walk away. Bite that bullet. It won’t be easy. Applying to jobs sucks. The fear of failure or homelessness is real. But risk is the price of freedom.

Real change sometimes demands risk. Making the difficult, scary choice is usually what gives you your life back.
