What is the best thing that has ever happened to you?
What is the worst thing that has taken place in your life?
Once you have answered these questions you should try to figure out the effect they had on your life.
The point is to figure out the exact reason why you are where you are today.
Once you have reflected on your past, you can go ahead and:
Make a list of the changes you want to see taking place in your life
Identify people who can help you make those changes
Identify personal and environmental factors that may hinder the achievement of those changes
Stay focused on your goals
Chances of losing your motivating factor when you want to achieve something are always there.
The only difference between you and the person who actually succeeds in reinventing themselves at 40 is that they will not lose focus on their ultimate goal.
One way you can stay focused is to have someone who will always keep you on the track.
Share your plans with other people on how you want to reinvent yourself.
Kill that ‘can’t do’ attitude
You may want to argue that you are the one who knows yourself best.
This is true but only up to a certain point.
If you are one of those people who think they cannot do something even before trying you have to kill that attitude.
Try, and fail, try and fail again then you can confidently say that you cannot do that particular thing.
