There are many ways and they are different for everyone. Nonetheless, there are some ideas to help you along the way.

Try one new thing at least weekly

Your life will be in constant change mode, and that is a good thing if you lead change in direction of your success goals. To do that most successfully, you should try lots of new things continually. For things you like, get very good at them with lots of practice. But keep trying new activities.

Practice new skills

One of my most favorite quotations about aim and goals is one from Michelangelo:

The greatest danger for most of us is not that our aim is too high and we miss it, but that it is too low and we reach it.

Michelangelo knew a thing or two about high aim and goals didn’t he? Need we say anything more?

Dedicate yourself to learning new things

I am a big believer in adaptation and change. You should always seek to be flexible and keep several alternative paths in front of you. Always be on the lookout for ways to reinvent ways for self-improvement. Our most favored quote on change and adaptation is from Charles Darwin:

It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.

Just remember to substitute success for survival and you will have a very valuable tip.
