WELCOME TO EMMANUEL AKUDOLU'S BLOG

The eagle discovered that it wasn't compatible with the rest of the birds, then there came a burning desire to define itself and gave out the result to be compared to know how true is it to be different from the rest of the birds. When its instincts and observatory result had been certified by its observations, the eagle decided to resign by flying away in search of its specie. And that day marked its defining moment.

"Flexibility gives room to let out old entanglement and system [ideas and procedures] and to let in new entanglement and system [ideas and procedures]"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu
If the eagle wasn't flexible, it would've lived all its life believing that its limit of flying is the same with that of the chickens even when it knows that it possesses the ability to fly beyond his tamed mind.

                     
"The mind is the real estate equally given to everyone but unequally categorized by the level of individuals ability to maintain the already made real estate [mind] by nature"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu


This particular post was birthed from the question asked by a very young guy that ought to have been thinking like the time we are in but its so unfortunate that I had to address the issue from the point of the defect in his pattern of thinking. A guy that thinks like those that existed in the agrarian age, what do you expect from him? No atom of civilization in his mind but thinks darkishly,archaic and outdated. Of course am not surprise that he was sincere to open up to me that he was actually responding to the way he was taught by his parents even till date. Let's see from the few points of mine, how we can dress this issue properly. Your Thought pattern are of two types, •Poor thought pattern.
•Wealthy thought pattern

POOR/ANCIENT THOUGHT PATTERN
The result of people's life today is nothing more than the poor maintenance of their real estate [Mind] One thing is to have the mind which everyone has [even an insane person] another thing is to maintain the real estate. Like I said earlier;

"The mind is the real state equally given to everyone but unequally categorized by the level of individuals ability to maintain the already made real estate [mind] by nature"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu

What's the major causes of the real estate poor management? Is the incessant conformity to the ill-ideologies of the day created by the orthodoxy of the ill society! A child is born with a possibility mentality but once he starts getting up to between 4-5years, the ability for him to see that everything is possible and can be achieved without any interference begins to diminish.

And so a man that have patterned his mind that God created some persons with a special ability to make themselves successful is doomed to live all his life believing that there's no good in him, thereby letting his real state perish without maximizing his ostentatious ideas lying inside of him.

Another error is that we have conditioned our mind in such a way that we see nothing good in becoming wealthy because we've been brainwashed by our family, society and friends that becoming wealthy is a taboo, as they continue to teach us that the rich only oppresses the poor to make their ends meet. That's a whole lot of Junk And this singular mentality has created a black-hole that doesn't give room for a proper and a constructive thinking for the achievement of the victim's dream. In fact, their mind has been clothed and filed with an Emery-cloth of impossibility.

THE ANCIENT MENTALITY
It is quite appalling that in the 21st century that most people even the young are still applying the knowledge they acquired in 60's to conform with the goal and target set for the achievement of their dreams which makes it impossible for the dream to be achieved. I get annoyed when people are not eager to drop some of their outdated pattern of thinking. To all parents and guardians, one of the things you must learn is to know that life will not always be the way it was for you in your own time. As time and seasons changes so are approach to some things in life changes also.

WEALTHY THOUGHT PATTERN
"The quality of your thought pattern is not determined by the amount of money in your bank account but by the quality of the proceedings[Thoughts] that flows from your real state [Mind]"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu

To live a more comfortable life, you've got to let your mind accommodate quality ideas that pays visit when we are deemed fit to manage it and realize the hard currency to our bank account.

Oil money can never be compared with the money generated by the effective use of our real estate [Mind]
"Until you garnish[invest on] your real estate with the right properties [Knowlege which is power] you can never have a tenant [Market] that will rent [amount] it with the tag on it"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu

Who looses when a house owner didn't build it to the taste of the tenants? Is the house owner because the house is his asset and he's looking forward to generating income from it. Automatically, your mind is your asset and it yields a better result when managed effectively.

A wealthy mind doesn't permit all junks. He's so careful about what goes in to his mind because a single wrong message can cause an infection to his thought.

The simple way of maintaining the effectiveness of your mind is by studying! You're sometimes the product of the amount of knowledge you possess. In fact, your action is limited in equal proportion to your limit of your acquired knowledge.
"Study to yourself approved as a workman that needs not to be ashamed but rightly dividing the word of truth"

It means that there are level of study that approves us for a higher level and until you know, you can act to the extent you intend to act. Sometimes, Our limitations in life isn't because we are not maximizing our maximum intelligence but because we are void of some 'vital' knowledge that needs to usher us to a more advanced insight that secures us a way of breaking the limit that confronts us. It takes a single thought understood, to make a gigantic accomplishment.

SHAME [Failure]
To be ashamed is to be a failure. When we don't achieve what we dream of achieving we tend to be disappointed, outraged and ashamed of ourselves. The issue here is that some persons complains that they studied but didn't understand! Its very wrong to say that. There's a difference between studying and reading.

STUDY VERSES READING
Studying requires your deep sense of intelligence and intuitiveness to assimilate what you're reading for a deep understanding and can be retained in a long memory while reading is the ability to read letters, words and sentences in a shallow manner which ushers one to a simple understanding of the passage that might possible be confined in a short memory. 

"When you cannot explain something for a 6year old, it means that you've not understood that thing" [Paraphrased]
-Albert Einstein
In real sense, it takes study to understand intuitively.

MENTORSHIP
"In a time of deceit, truth becomes a revolutionary act"
-Wayward Pine.

The truth about the deep knowledge of something is dependent on the level of operation [Teaching] you're giving about the real message you want to understand. If you're eager to learn about a particular context or about your real pattern of thinking, you need to welcome some men that are well defined in your life. They serve as our companion in a time of confusion and when life tends to serve us with a plate of ambiguity.

Mentorship is vital in making of the thoughts in you very prolific. Some persons had great ideas but couldn't apply it effectively but the advent of their personal teachers ushered them to the truth of the matter they're surfaced with. 

"A man without a teacher is like a captain in the ship without his compass"
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu

It impossible to talk about this broad heading without knowing what "motivation" is.

Motivation is simply the reason for a person's action or behaviour.In other words anything that is capable of boosting your inmost spirit or that encourages you whilst doing something perform are the positive factors or ways of generating motivation. In that sense too you can concur with me that the person's actions or behaviour is either positive or negative.

“As Iron sharpens iron, so one man sharpens another” I propounded a law on motivation which states that the flames of motivation can only burn steadily when the fans of great minds is permitted to oxidize one’s mind to burn effectively, which propels the spirit and the ability of our unique being to act effectively in the field of our endeavor. 

 

Few months ago, I was going through a book, written by Brian Tracy, Titled: Change your thinking, change your mind. As I was consuming the written wisdom of Brian, I came across where he wrote: Study shows that a good percentage of the ‘world’s elite’ were actually men that suffered one challenges or the other

For instance, Albert Einstein was one of those men that faced severe challenges that he was nicknamed after his inability to learn “The uneducable Albert” He was very slow in learning but can you imagine that he later emerged as a Genius? That even his current status and contributions are respected in the world of sciences and in the whole wide world at large? He contributed so much to the world that he can never be compared anymore with his teachers.

“Whatsoever your mind conceives, that you can achieve”
-Napoleon Hill
Your outer world is the reflection of your inner world. Our failure in pursuit of success is not always that it happened for the reason of learning some lessons. Most times, it happens as a result of wrong conceptional process that occur from within us. Success starts from within and ends in the outer world. First and foremost, the way you view your challenges in the inside world becomes the determinant matrix if the goal, dream or vision is achievable or not.

How far do you see the possibility of achieving your dreams that springs from within? The picture you painted on the challenges in the physical world, gives a command to the sub-conscious part of your mind and finally affects your super-consciousness that is responsible for creativity and generation of ideas. 

Be careful on how you manage your thoughts, because it has a huge effect on the outside world. Before you sleep, think on the beautiful things you want to achieve, the houses, the cars, the kind of wife or husband you want to marry, the kind of investment you want to make and so on. You’ll observe that a glimpse of laughter which is ‘smiles’ will cover that your beautiful face of yours.

Maybe you’ll likely say that, it is because I wanted to smile, nope! Its not. It’s because of a single reason and that was because you fed your sub-conscious mind with its most nutritious diet that keeps poping your super-conscious mind with ideas and creativity of which it gives a level of positive alertness and security towards your mind. 

Do you know you attract what you think most of the times? Some have testified that they came encounter with what they were thinking in their mind, and they call it a mere coincidence. Most of the times, you sleep by 9pm and you decided within your mind that by 2am, you’ll wake up and you’ll see yourself up at that particular moment in time or few minutes before the time. Mind conditioning can determine the produce of your physical world when managed properly. Be willing to have a Positive Mental Attitude which is the major decisive factor to what you want to achieve in life. Failure and success starts from the mind, manage it well.

I know of a friend, very unique and spectacular but he rarely unveils what he’s capable of, by dressing on a shabby cloth. Do you know that there are thousands verses millions of opportunity that disguises itself as a Problem? ‘Problem’ is something that you must embrace because the more the solution you come up with, the more the opportunity and chances of climbing to the ladder of success. 

“The positive and negative terminal makes the bulb to shine and so a life that’s void of challenges, is not worth living”-Emmanuel C. Akudolu 

How can a light shine when the negative terminal is never connected? Of course, only the positive terminal can’t do the job. How can the current flow properly when there’s no exact resistance to the flow of current? It takes the darkness for the star to shine brighter. It is the combination of the black and white keys that makes the melody of the keyboard harmonious and enjoyed. 

“A problem is a chance for you to do your best”-Duke Ellington
Let me shock you again. Your dreams, goals, vision and your pursuit in life is a problem, because you’re still trying hard to know if you’ll come up with the best result. Embrace responsibilities. See your current problems as part of training. Be optimistic about the whole situations that you seem to be confronted with. 

“When you think you can’t, that’s when you can do it the best. Never under-estimate what you can do by saying ‘I cant’ because negative thought tends to invade when better things are trying to fall in”
-Emmanuel C. Akudolu 

The rate of your problem determines the quality of your process towards the achievement of your goals and dreams in life. Every great man has a story to tell and if he’s void of one, he deserves to tell a story. He’s known as a great man, as a result of his competent spirit and courage in offering a solution towards his problems. Your circumstance reveals who you are. See your problems as an opportunity and it will appear to be like one. A quality dream deserves quality problematic conditions, so as to value your success at the end.

“Your disability is not inability”
I believe within myself that any responsibility that you accept wholeheartedly is an opportunity in disguise waiting for your best acumen to be applied in providing a befitting solution to your confrontations in life, thereby revealing the genius within you. Anywhere you find yourself, try to identify yourself with a problem that needs your best ability. Remain optimistic and keep striving for the best.
-Emmanuel C Akudolu

You're unique and different from the rest. View that photo closely and you'll discover that something happened there. You see in life, you can never be spotted out from the rest. If you can't decide to behave and see yourself differently. You can't keep becoming like others and expecting to be spotted from the rest. Don't let the lack of currency in your pocket make you quite your dreams. 

In life, men are classified in classes. you chose to be in the particular class you chose to belong. Your recent state of life has nothing to do with your choice of class. mind you that classes are of different level. Behave differently, talk differently, dress differently, carry yourself like a king, queen, president and so on. Of course, do i have to tell you how you ought to behave? choose for yourself.

Anything you want to become tomorrow, start displaying it now. don't wait for the time that you'll be appointed officially before you start behaving like one. you want to be an Economist, Lawyer, Engineer, Pilot, Doctor, Pharmacist etc Begin now to talk like one, dress like one and be identified like one. Maybe that's why Shakespeare started as early in his 20's. while others are wasting life, you start contributing to life. 

Life is interesting but that's if you understand who you are. Boys fight and struggle for money but men already had it in mind that their potentials are money on its own but letting your potentials to be exploited, exchanges the paper currency with what they can offer to life. Don't faint, don't quite. Remember that tough time never last but tough people do. We are different from the rest. Let this mind continue to be in you.

We were created naked
And we are born naked
But we challenged God
By the aid of the serpent
And we cried
"We need some clothings"
Now, we have it
As time goes on,
We started again
We needed it no more
The shame that drove us to the hidden place
Said no, No more me (shame)
Come out naked publicly
And now we are opening
And advertising our privacy
Without shame!
How possible is it that men can be satisfied in this life?

WE ARE GENIUS
Nothing in us is less important
Nothing in us, is meant to be neglected
We can’t do it but taking up the responsibility
Makes us feel that we are good to go
Sometimes, we don’t believe we can
Until we discover that we can by trying it


THE CHALLENGES
Times of penury, lack and discomfort
It doesn’t interfere with our passion
It is at that moment that we display our best
No problem is unsolvable
For the fact that you discovered that it’s a problem
It is half solved already
Like an old saying that says
A diagnosed problem is half way solved


ACTION
Display your talent because you have something to offer
Not necessarily because you can do it
Your potential is meant to sharpen others
Iron they say, sharpens iron
Give out what you’ve.
Cos your produce is ideal
and of utmost important to many people


THE WORLD’S GREATEST CAPITAL
The world does not go after men with nothing
But men that proves to the world that their idea is ideal
You’re unique and extra-ordinary.
Discouragement do visit often
But do not succumb because there’s nothing in life that can limit you.
Never let your limitations limit you rather limit your limitation.



NEVER SURRENDER
Stand up on your feet quickly and say no to your defeat.
The coward in you says you can’t
The potential in you counters it by saying that you can.
Embrace what you can do
And start doing it today.
Waste not your resources
By being a mere reservoir of goodies but none is tapping from it.


KNOWN FOR SOMETHING
What are you known for
When you’re not known for something
You’re automatically known for nothing
In you lies an undying cells of greatness
But never keep it dormant by letting it become untouched
Explore it and give more life to it


DO YOU KNOW?
Do you know that you are the only one who can do what you can do?
Be ready to fail and at the same time be ready to rise
Thinking of success in avoidance of failure
Is a very deadly misconception
That can lead you to quit with ease without thinking why you started.
Be of good courage and confront your confrontations

Maybe you've been actually trying to make yourself feel comfortable by thinking big about yourself. Yo! that's a very big thing to do. Thinking big, dreaming big and working smarter to be a better and a different person from the rest.

Resting your back on an olive tree,trying to have some rest. That good for nothing thought will invade, like the serpent made an uninvited visit to the sweet and lovely couple in the garden of Eden. The thought begins

"Are sure you can achieve these goals?
What made you think that you're different from the rest?
For how long will you continue to endure the pains and hardship?
Why can't you taste life,like your companion are doing?"

That's how lovely the man could sound. Never respond to the desires of 'yourself'. Never be tempted to please your desires because is the starting point to the destruction of your dream and goal. Remember that the next page of your life,is an evergreen leveled land,that awaits you to finish up the other PAGES of the book.

'Letting' means freeing something to loose itself from what's holding it down. in various aspect of our life,we have not let what is embedded inside of us to manifest. We withhold so many treasures that are needed by men but because of our wrong choices,we've ended up,covering the light in us with a bushel that suppose to be our light stand.
'Let our light so shine before men that they may see our good works and glorify our father,who's in heaven' This passage of the scripture is very explicit and well said but the meaning has not been elaboraetd to its full comprehension. I'll decipher each word to its simplest form that will make you understand the full version of what this message is actually talking about you.
LET=UNLOCK
LIGHT=POTENTIAL/TALENT
SHINE=MANIFEST
SEE=WITNESS BY MEN
GOOD WORKS=THE RIGHT ATTITUDE DISPLAYED IN USE OF YOUR POTENTIAL
GLORIFY=THE REWARD YOU RECEIVE FROM MEN BUT INDIRECTLY,REACHING GOD'S PRAISES TO HIM IN HEAVEN.
this few explanation must've opened your heart to be more enlightened of the task that awaits you.
The good news here,is that the world is eagerly waiting for the manifestation of YOU to manifest. When you fail to manifest,you fail to fulfill and live for your purpose. The world is looking for who to be celebrated. Rise above your limitations and fulfill your mission here on earth that men will come to your door step and glorify your creator who has made it to be that way,even before you were planned to be conceived.

I want to be like Kim Kardashian, Beyonce,Yemi Alade,Jay-Z, Chris Brown,Davido etc That's cool and fine. Everyone has their choice to make. Come to think of this,in the name of being like all these people that we admire,how do we actually look, after we've finally imitated them,either in dressing,hair making? etc. Being like someone else,automatically makes you a counterfeit of the person you're imitating and also,renders your existence and personality into extinction.

Maybe your knee has developed some hard tissues that have been weakened and rendered to death because of your constant prayers by kneeling,asking God to supply you with your own man. Let me shock you,your partner in life is never far from you,even if he/she is in US and you are here in Nigeria,something strange may likely cause the union of both the lady and the young man to come together. But the problem today is that we have foolishly despised our image in order to look like someone else. 

Your partner sees you on the road,but he cannot recognize you because your image,lifestyle and so many things that ought not to exist in your life has come to be a 'veil' that covers your real attractions and image from your man. Stop being like Helen,be like Agbomma that you're known for; stop being like Brown,be like Omemgboji that you're known for. It makes you more attractive than what you pretend to be. Be yourself and never compromise your personality just because of people's attitude towards you.
‪#‎RemainReal‬

In the means to attract people,we easily sell off our dignity,pride and our price(value). We run to people up and down,trying to make ourselves 'notice me' as if we are doing a bail-out marketing(bend down select) in the presence of all,indirectly,you're degrading yourself. "Empty vessel makes the loudest noise" And so will you see some fellows that haven't attained any height as a base of achievement or proof that he is equal to the task,he/she will be roaming around,trying to force themselves to people. Indecent dressing has also showed a very pitiable lifestyle that depicts the hustling nature of us,trying to fix ourselves to others. Your cleavages is opened beyond imagination,you used almost a bucket of paint to cover your face Etc. What's the reason behind their actions? Its latest fashion in town.

"That it looks good on a Mannequin does not really mean that it will look good on you" Make the best choice for yourself and not necessary copy-catting a lifestyle that doesn't merge to your personality. Stop begging men/women to fix into your life because you're too good for that. If you can develop yourself and brush up yourself(personal development) you'll notice that,you'll actually be the one that is been chased and looked for. Be purposeful and stop hustling to fit-in to peoples life. Let your virtues do the attraction and save yourself the stress of explaining yourself to people,in order for them to accept you.
•You worth more than a million gold.

We dash into a relationship that really gives us a wrong meaning which is far from our original definition of ourself. Who do you walk with and actually throw out your plans and secret to? Being in a relationship is not a guarantee that everything about you will be laid bare. Is she/he married to you? Nope!,to that effect,let not your relationship with people make you lose your taste and value. Everything about you,still remains confidential.

If being in a relationship will make you violate your principles,that relationship ought to go into extinction. You have a target,goal and a vision to accomplish but if he/she is not positive enough to make you feel that you're with the right person,better run for your life. Live with a sense of purpose,it makes your choice of partner very palatable that you'll live to keep remembering the purposeful relationship you've ever encountered in your life time.

These days,many cry of heart break and a whole lot of unnecessary stories that even exists among the so-called responsible set of people. I always hear a very big lie from friends and from many intellectual personality bluffing!,pertaining if being faithful and honest in a relationship is still requisite and necessary and they deemed it fit to say that its not necessary anymore. 

But, I must correct this impression,if you think that you actually love someone,just try and maintain the meaning of love and never base on lust. When you discover that you truly love someone you'll notice that some annoying behavourial traits from your partner won't offend you that much. 

Faithfulness and trust has ran into the abyss and that has led love into extinction. My partner is dating another man and that I can't cope again. We complain a whole lot of times because we tend to devalue ourselves or has made our value to be built on our fellow human. 

When you're elevated in love,you'll notice that heart break will be far from you because love never drags you into the mud but lifts you up to numerous personality that deserves your company.
