Celebrate your success!
Radio host Nikita Robinson gave four tips she believes could aid every woman’s success:1. Know who you are before jumping into a relationship. Young ladies have a tendency to lose themselves and forget who they are in a relationship and when things turn sour they’re not sure what to do with themselves.“If you know who you are [then with or without the relationship] you are going to live your life and do things you normally do,” she said. “When a man comes into your life he should enhance it; not take away from it. The moment he starts to take away from it is the moment you know ‘it’s not for me’.”2. Soak up the positive. Your life is like a sponge, everyday you’re going to soak up something different, but the more negative you put in, the more negative is going to squeeze out. The more positive you put in and squeeze it, the most positive is going to come out.3. Own your power. Quoting from author Steve Harvey, Mrs Robinson said men were like fisherman and there were two types of fish: the keeper and the throwback.“What type of fish are you going to be ladies? What we don’t realise as women is we have the power [in the relationship]. We can allow men to trash us or we can allow men to treasure us. Pick which one you want.”4. Celebrate yourself. Women often do not celebrate little successes and milestones in their lives, she said. But the key to success in life is to stop looking at the finish line and how you are going to get from A to Z. Instead look at it from A to B and then celebrate; from B to C and then celebrate.“What happens is we have this long haul and, if until we get to Z we don’t celebrate our successes we are not going to make it.”
