No matter how old you are, it's never too late to change your life for the better.

1. Develop positive thinking.

Positive thinking by itself won’t lead to success, but it certainly goes a long way to motivate you to do the other things required. Focus on this habit first, and you’ll have a much easier time with any of the others. Start by becoming more aware of your negative self-talk — do a little tally sheet throughout the day, marking a tally each time you notice a negative thought. Soon you’ll recognize them, and you can squash them.

2. Exercise

Exercise makes you feel better about yourself, and more confident. That leads to better success with other positive changes. It reinforces the positive thinking habit — you need to think positive in order to sustain exercise.

3. Focus on one goal.

While it might seem very difficult, focusing on one goal at a time is the most powerful way of achieving your goals. When you try to take on many goals at once, you’re spreading thin your focus and energy — the two critical components for achieving a goal.

4. Eliminate the non-essential

First, identify the essential — the things in your life that are most important to you, that you love the most. Then eliminate everything else. This simplifies things and leaves you with the space to focus on the essential. This process works with anything — with your life in general, with work projects and tasks, with emails and other communication.

5. Examine your life's path

Whether you are in school, working, job hunting, volunteering, or travelling, take a look at your life and decide if it aligns with your values. What are your passions, interests, and goals? While these questions may take years to answer, you can start by asking yourself what kind of legacy you want to leave behind.
