Those who want to sit on thrones, must first subdue themselves.
The first person to master stares you in the mirror every morning- one's appetites and attitudes, ones actions and arcs.
And one must be in subjugation to the Lord above all else, or their mastery will only tend to evil.
"He knows not how to rule a kingdom, that cannot manage a Province; nor can he wield a Province, that cannot order a City; nor he order a City, that knows not how to regulate a Village; nor he a Village, that cannot guide a Family; nor can that man Govern well a Family that knows not how to Govern himself; neither can any Govern himself unless his reason be Lord, Will and Appetite her Vassals: nor can Reason rule unless herself be ruled by God, and (wholy) be obedient to Him.”
Hugo Grotius, 1654
