Yes Michigan!

Become ungovernable.

Before and After

Audit the halls of your kingdom. Walk slowly through the rooms of your life and listen to what each presence leaves behind. Some people enter and bring light, ideas, courage. Promote them. Give them keys to deeper doors. Let them sit near your peace. Some arrive with smiles but leave confusion, fatigue, and doubt. Demote them. Move them from the throne room to the waiting hall. And some come only to consume— feeding on your time, your kindness, your spirit, while investing nothing but chaos. Terminate their contract. Not with hatred. Not with revenge. But with calm authority. For a wise ruler knows that mercy without boundaries becomes self-neglect. You are not a prison for other people’s dysfunction. You are not a company meant to run at loss to keep others comfortable. You are the CEO of your life. Protect your energy like capital. Invest your heart with wisdom. Reward loyalty. Cut recurring damage. Expand where there is growth. And remember: A peaceful empire is built less by who enters— and more by who no longer has access. 🖤

...ignore the fact that the road they ended up naming after him is closed due to flooding literally whenever it rains 🤦🏻‍♂️. 🥔
