On Dating


There is one thing I live by or at least I feel like I do, for you to be in my life you need to be the very best. 
This means I need to be the best to attract the best.
 Occasionally I slip, occasionally I settle, and like every one of us we have replaced best for good so I'm constantly torn between moving on to another person and replacing the same person with a different name and the cycle continues.
Well, I'm among the 99% of humans with the talent of making bad decisions.
Whew, I would have probably dated the whole world when I'm done replacing but good thing I realized not so early enough though, there is a difference between good and best.
You can't be preparing yourself for the best and settling for good.

Yoo, I'm still Dimensionsofgold and I'm here to let you know,
You don't need someone who is good for you, you need someone who is best for you.
Well, this applies to those working on being the best.
If you are working on being the best, you are probably good so why settle for good when there is an option for best. Elevate your mind.

These days, I have been looking for the grey lines in every situation but just like every one of us we have refused to accept some things are just black and white.

I saw a post that said everyone is going through the same things just at different times so my next scenario, I guess applies to everyone.
So, we meet someone, we know they are good, they might probably tick our boxes but deep inside we know they are not the best for us.
We know something is missing but help me God we make up reasons to still be with the person, this starts off as a very harmless situation but ends up toxic.

We wasted our time but guess what our mantra will be"there is always a lesson to learn in every relationship".
You know what,
There is always a lesson to be learned in every situation, next.

If you meet someone and they treat you bad, make you question your self-worth and all that or in my scenario, you know something is off but you just can't place it so you are always asking questions.
If you continue to be with this person. 
You are not learning anything new.
You knew it the first time when you met him/her and you asked questions or when you knew something was missing.
Once you decide to be with this person, no new lesson will be learned rather every thing that will happen is a result of your decision.
If you continue to stay, you are wasting your time and nothing is being learned again.

For what it is worth, I believe most of us if not all have learned enough lessons to last us a lifetime.
We are dealing with humans and relationship is the key to a successful life, the lessons are almost all the same every single time.
Trust me, there is nothing new, if it hasn't happened to you directly then your friends or family has learned it before or you have read it in a book.
Don't be stuck in a situation thinking you might learn something, there is a probability you will but there is also a chance that you knew how this would end but you decided to stay so no new lesson was learned but valuable time was wasted.

With that being written,
I am Emediong and this is Dimensionsofgold.

  1. They say insanity is doing the same thing the same way everytime and expecting a different outcome each time.

    Maybe that's just it with us people we all have a bit of insanity streak going.

    That's why we make the same mistakes and expect life changing moments from them.

    Lol.

    Just hope we learn to change what doesn't work in our interactions and keep what works.

    Really nice work.

    Loved it :-)

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 ...

Dear Men

Dear men, Scratch that . Dear society, you know; never mind. I keep saying I want to have just boys because I want to teach them that being a guy isn't so much of a big deal,we all got blood running through our veins. When I listen to some guys speak it gets me annoyed,confused and a whole rush of different emotions I can't put into words. A woman speaks up for herself and she is labeled aggressive. Read the reason I left Feminism A woman tells you this is what she can put up with and y'all say she got an attitude that would lead her no where.  Well, I don't want to go no where with you and that mentality. When a guy does any of this some how the word personality appears in the dictionary and everyone goes on and on saying thats just his personality,"Its a masculine thing". Well, you are damn right it's a feminine thing that i won't put up with any thing you believe a woman should put up with simply because she is a woman and if it takes m...

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 ...
