1. What do you need to change? When you are in transition, you may think you need to change everything. But find out exactly what area will help you change your life into what you want it to be. Is it career? A relationship? Your family? Pick the one area that is causing you the most angst. This is usually the one that if changed, will cause the greatest transformation in your life  —  and help you make a difference in the lives of others as well.

2. Learn to let go. Instead of looking back with regret, you can create a picture of what you would like to be, achieve, and experience.

3. Visualize. Think about how you will feel, who will be around you, and what the world will be like when you have achieved what you desire.

4. Set goals in baby steps. Don’t overwhelm yourself with huge, ambitious goals. Ask, what can you do in the next day to start moving toward that dream? The next month?

5. Push forward. Start moving toward your goal today. It’s important for you to know you are doing everything you can to make success happen.
