Develop the EAGLE attribute.
Like the lion on land, there is a giant in the air. It is the fearless eagle. The qualities of the eagle are characteristic of its many abilities that make it survive even in the most precarious situation. In the air, against any intruder, its imposing structure sends spasms of fear over other birds. It soars over any other bird and covers longer distance no other bird can compare.
The phenomenon develops the eagle attribute. The eagle is a genius going through all its challenges one ease of step after another. Its uncommon attributes ensures no other bird can stand in its way. It is a phenomenal bird.
The phenomenon takes the eagle for example in its simplicity and yet congruent attributes. For him, the eagle’s foresight and tenacity is a copy one could follow. He looks at the eagle and marvels at how a complete bird it is. He thus sits down, studies these infringing attributes and then seek to apply it in creating his phenomenal life.
What attributes of the eagle does the phenomenon find phenomenal.
The eagle’s vision is an extraordinary one capable of seeing kilometers away. The phenomenon in its model tries to develop a far sight. He looks very far into the future in anything he does, watching for possibilities and limitations that may occur in the future. His far sight isn’t to distract him from taking actions. Rather, it is to guide him in making better steps to overcome the future challenge.
The tremendous insight and wisdom the eagle has makes it the most feared bird. It does not rush to make decision. It roves over its prey for some time before acting out its carnivorous intentions. The phenomenon does same. He thinks very much about his actions and the outcome before he acts. He knows that there is a chance he may not succeed. In the face of the possibilities, he takes the most wisdom filled decision.
Watch the eagle fly in the sky, it soars. Its gaits are those of supremacy over any other bird menacing as he roves. The phenomenon develops his gait too. His style and manner of work shows the power inherent in him. His posture is of a kingly manner showing his high class.
A part of the body the eagle uses to its advantage is its legs. It uses the legs to catch prey. Its claw filled legs tears its prey apart and helps him feast on them. The phenomenon has legs too that are extraordinary. His legs moves him from place to place. He applies his legs to any destination of choice. The phenomenon knows that if he has to get any place, his legs have to take him there.
The phenomenon sees the eagle from different perspectives. He does not just see it as just another bird in the sky. He sees it as a tool in his learning curve which will help him direct and influence his life and others. He appreciates the creative work of God in this creation, the ingenuity of God at creating the eagle and understands that in the eagle is a message to him to advance his course and develop mankind.
Developing the eagle attributes requires that you learn from eaglets (baby eagles)
Eaglets follow their mother eagle everywhere they go. They may have the qualities of an eagle but it is undeveloped. They have to watch the eagle act and do same too. Your desire for phenomenal achievements requires that you act submissively under the masterly hands of those who have achieved phenomenal things too. You can’t be a guru by yourself. You have to develop knowledge from gurus. This means you have to submit yourself under their learning curve.
The eaglet only flies when mother eagle gives the go ahead. The eagle throws the eaglet down when it deems fit for the eaglet to fly. Some times while learning, we think we have known enough and should be on our own. Your mentor may think differently that there is still a lot to offer you. We fail to heed instructions and end up losers, never reaching the phenomenal level.
When a mother eagle throws its eaglet down from a height, what envelopes the eaglet is fear, however the mother realized before throwing the eaglet down that the eaglet has developed the capacity to fly. The eagle allows her eaglet act on instinct. This instinct is what allows the eaglet discover its flying ability. You too do not have to allow all the work on your phenomenal mentor. He may have taken you through the learning process but you have to apply your instinct lead you from where your mentor has stopped. There is a limit your mentor can go, that limit is where your instinct begins.
The eaglet acts defensively. It ensures it is always around the mother eagle. It does not hurriedly live the side of the mother until it is assured it can defend itself. You can afford to take your time to learn from your mentor until you fully learn all that you should learn. Hide under the covering of your mentor, while you develop your personal instinctive style and capacity.
The phenomenon and the eagle are two of a kind. If you do want to be a phenomenon, develop the eagle attribute.
