❛ As one would expect from a queen, this archetype is a natural leader. Taking charge comes naturally to her and she guides those around her with confidence and grace.
Think of the classic ‘Queen B’ – popular, admired and confident. Many women who embody the Queen Archetype are influential figures.
The Queen is constantly busy building her empire – that might be through curating her social circles or growing her career. Being in control of things and overseeing the playing field gives her a sense of power and meaning.
Often equipped with a very social personality, she has a great gift for networking and knows exactly how to get to the right people. Both as a friend and partner, she is incredibly loyal once you gain her trust.
A mature Ruler is ready to take responsibility and take action. Combined with her ambitious instincts, she has great potential for achieving greatness in life.
Setting goals and working for achievements makes this archetype thrive. She is assertive, knows exactly what she wants and is not afraid to go after it!
Queens also tend to enjoy luxury and self-care more than other feminine archetypes. She certainly knows how to have a good time and is not shy to invest in exclusive experiences (or advanced education!) for herself. ❜

(This classic is still a must read. As much as I love books like Think and Grow Rich, How to Win Friends and Influence People, and all of the other classics, I think this has the most practical applications today. Don’t get me wrong , those other most definitely do as well, but I’d start here)

I am leaving no stone unturned to reach the highest positions. Grew up in an inner city, motivated myself to get a degree and get a good job, and now that I have a decent job my parents constantly tell me to quit while I'm ahead and settle into my position for life. They think I'm a moron for striving for bigger things. My friends from the same city that became extremely successful also have only themselves to thank. None of us had abusive parents but we also weren't pushed to greatness as children. We just wanted better for ourselves and didn't want to end up living in the same shitty city as adults because we didn't work hard enough. In my experience the people who have the biggest dreams and most success have innate ambition. There is no "settling" for a job that pays a certain amount of money or a house in a nice neighborhood. There's no end point, only a desire to achieve bigger and greater things. I don't know if this is due to personality or brain chemistry, but you can see one person come out of a family living in squalor to become very successful while the rest of the family is content to keep living the same way they always have. I agree with this. My father is one of those hard dedicated workers. I have been working for the same company for close to 4 years now and have only taken 6 days of sick time. I do this because i strongly believe in attendance when working as he has done so his entire life. My mother on the other hand won't stay at a job for more than a year and mostly works 4 days a week and uses sick time nearly all the time.
Some of it was just monetary. When I was single I didn't care about money as long as I had enough to pay for rent, food, and video games. But now I'm 32 and we just bought a house, we are saving for college for our daughter, and we hope to travel internationally. All those things are easier with a better-paying job. As far as doing big things in the world, I've never really thought that way. My goal is to leave the world a little bit better than I found it and to raise my kid(s) to do the same. EDIT: Spelling
When I first read that, I was ready to call bullshit. No fellow human could look at these photos and not be moved. But then I realized... I didn't really care, the first time I saw the pictures in a book, or a movie. I doubt I felt any awe at all. Ten or fifteen years later, just thinking about it makes me tear up more than a little. The difference is that I've gained (I'd like to think) some perspective, both on our place in the cosmos, and realized the immense expansion and fulfillment of human capabilities that space exploration inherently is.
Ambition probably comes from life setup and morals taught early on. Rich kids don't have as much of a drive to succeed as poor kids like myself, because daddy will always be there to bail them out. You will find that a lot of the large names of today were poor early in life. Oprah Winfrey and J.K. Rowling are two commonly known ones.

Life can be brutal. Life can be unforgiving. If I had to sum up in one word the difference between the greats and the average, the difference between the successful and the nobodies of the world, one word, one attribute to describe the difference, it would be discipline. If you don't have the discipline, you can forget about the success, the greatness. It's the discipline to work hard, the discipline to keep going when it hurts because life doesn't give you what you want. It gives you what you deserve. And if you haven't worked for it, if you haven't sacrificed for it, if you haven't given your all, then you don't deserve it and you won’t get it. Push through the pain, on the other side is growth. When pain comes, that means it's time to show character. When it all seems hopeless, keep plugging away because nothing can stop you if you don't stop for anything. Never break your discipline. Remain faithful to yourself and your vision. When it gets painful, push harder. Push through the pain. Keep plugging away, when there seems no hope of victory. When you don't see the results, hang in there. Be strong. Be brave. And your time will come.

I want to sail, let the wind take me to the land where I was born. I want to feel the foam of the sea again and my eyes can delight the horizon of immensity. I want my ears to feel the sound of the waves again and the noise of seagulls flying over an orange sky. Throw myself on the sand while I detail the starry sky, the broken clouds and the sunbeam crossing the small spaces of a thick sky; while my pupils dilate. That my hands can feel the sand slipping through my fingers. May my palate delight that rich flavor of a coconut fallen from the bush. Feeling my feet tickle as they sink into the soft, wet sand at the shore as the wave breaks. That song when the sea picks up to create a new wave. That I lose my sight looking at that greatness, and think that there is beyond the extensive ocean.. Photograph the dolphins with my eyes when they come up to greet me. My soul cries out, it says on loudspeaker... Go, go there, a single feeling with life and the greatness of the universe 💫

Basically a pathetic people pleaser with very little self control whose reality was largely shaped by his imagination, taking into deep account how others perceived him without putting importance where importance matters most (himself). He was optimistic, cocky, and very very loud.
I was a know it all but naive to what life truly is, he was a rising star, popular and well liked even in a school of nearly 4,000 kids. Had friends in the many different cliques in school from the popular and privilaged kids to the outcasts groups like ,skaters,emo,nerds. Was loud and outspoken in class. Always "in trouble" but not in any real trouble. He was a hustler, an entrepreneur in the making. Craved accomplishment. Craved adventure. Always skipped school but still somehow managed to pass.
I was going to graduate high school and get married and have a large family because that was what I thought I was supposed to do. I definitely wasn't going to go to college because that would be stupid, apparently. I was super insecure and a mighty strong know it all with the sass mouth to sass mouth all other sass mouths. I also had a lot of drive. I knew and I was an expert on everything.
I was the popular girl who got along with everyone but really only liked the nerds, was very much a rebel, had older friends, used to date older guys (still do) and would hang out with them and went on trips to different cities without my parents permission, yeah I was really bad but still managed to be top of the class, had lots of ambitions, knew what sixth form (pre university school in the UK) and university I wanted to go to, was very excited to be an adult and have a career.
Awfully gullible, self-loathing, depressed and overly emotional. But even though I hate a lot of the aspect of who I were at 16 I've kept my creativity, hard work ethics, ambition and easily connecting to others, but have moved from a Turbulent F to a Turbulent T which makes life much easier for me.
I was leading a charmed and fairly enviable life, with nothing but an intellectual understanding of misfortune.
Way too intelligent for my age, but sadly Knowing it and being really rude and in-your-face about it. An annoying know-it-all dick-nose. Dressed like a homeless guy, tried to outsmart everyone. Hung with the nerds and made fun of the jocks.
A self-loathing, hollowed-out scarecrow of a person with no social talents who indulged heavily in escapism through books and games. I'm approaching 30 now, and significantly better on all fronts. A funny, smart dude who tries to not take himself too seriously, but usually does anyways.
I am ambitious and driven. I thrive on challenge and constantly set goals for myself, so I have something to strive toward. I'm not comfortable with settling, and I'm always looking for an opportunity to do better and achieve greatness. In my previous role, I was promoted three times in less than two years.
