Mistakes to avoid

One thing that can make anyone happy is discovering areas of life where people are wrong...but they feel they are right.

Am i the only one??

You start talking about something, then suddenly:they sigh,take off their glasses,lower their voice,then share some "wisdom" with you...ONLY THEY ARE COMPLETELY WRONG! 
The worst part is,they "feel" they are right-----facts don't deter them,of course.

THE COMMON MISTAKE YOU WANT TO AVOID

"Your audacious life goals are fabulous.We are proud of you for having them.But it is possible that those goals are designed to distract you from the thing that is really frightening you-the shift in daily habits that would mean a re-invention of how you see yourself"
-SETH GODIN

Transformation and overnight successes get a lot of hype.[For good reason,who wouldn't want to be more successful in less time?]

But here is the problem;when you hear about a dramatic transformation or a incredible success  story,the only thing you know is the event that people are talking about.You don't hear anything about the process that came before it or about the habits that led to the eventual result.

It is easy to let these incredible stories trick you into doing too much,too soon.When you get motivated and inspired to take your life to the next level,it is so easy to get obsessed  with result.

It is natural to think that we need the result,the transformation,the overnight success.But that is not what you need,You need better habits.

My Identity Crisis

  Oh, hello This is uum kind of awkward. You would think after doing this for so many years, I would be so courageous and confident to stand before a crowd. It's almost like every event I'm invited for,is a chance to stand on the stage again for the very first time.  Somehow I believe that's the beauty of it all, the nervousness, excitement, the adrenaline spike that rushes through my body helping me prepare so I don't get so comfortable in my God-given abilities and slip up. Well, as some of you may know My name is Emediong Francis Udoudoh and I wear many hats but for this event, I choose to wear my green public speaking hat. Can I have a seat please? I hope that's fine yea, okay I think I would be more comfortable if I assume the friendly kind of vibe position. Thank you very much. So, as I was saying my self and my green hat we want to talk you today about identity. As many of you may know, I am the founder of Dimensionsofgold conglomerate but what you don't ...

It's My Body I Can Do Whatever I Want With It

"It's my body I can do whatever I want with it" Amongst the numerous quotes and sayings I have recently deduced as 'wrong', this happens to be the most insane. To crown it all, there are movements to actually support this notion  headed by women who claim to be Christians when the question of religion and going to church arises but when it comes to how they should dress to church and life at large it suddenly becomes; 'its my body, I can do what I want". This movement has been covered under the canopy of 'self love and do you, the world will adjust' and it just surprises me when Christian women pledge to this movement with their dressing without understanding God will never adjust to mans movement when he has a movement of his own. Click to read my views on making vows It is very confusing because in as much as these women claim to pray and study the word, I have reasons to believe they ignore verses where God says our bodies belong t...

On Being A Feminist

The other day I was privileged to attend an event, it wasn't necessarily a church program but it centered around Christianity and women. So of course the guest speakers would be women but one was particularly very interesting. This lady  went on and on about how Christian women should act, which I agreed for the most part and learnt new  things. However, she took me aback with a particular statement she made "you can't be a Christian and a feminist". She went ahead to attempt to back up her claim by saying "feminism is a cult group". At this point the only thing I could utter was Hmmm, wahala dey o. I immediately had to google the meaning of feminism and right after I searched for misandry. I know there has been a lot of attack on people who identify as a feminists but this was the first time I heard "...you can't be both a Christian and a feminist". I had a lot of questions as you might have guessed. I honestly just wanted to understand where ...
