Never Too Late to Change Your Life

It isn't too late for you to improve something, your life that you really want to change. No matter what age you are at. _36　　 Start there. Four steps will make it easier for you to get started　 _37　 Maybe you already know it. It could be your social life, your health or money situation.

　　 Take time to focus on this because if you really want something then it becomes a lot easier to keep going.

　　 Choose one thing or habit to focus on for now. If you have found several things or habits you would like to focus on, then choose to focus on just one at a time.　 38 You'll probably not have the time and energy to change three things at once even though you really hope and think you can.

　　 Take small steps. This is very important.　 The feeling that something is too big or difficult is one of the most common things to hold people back from taking action._ 39 The plan sounds so good in your head. But when you carry it out then you can't really take much action or move as fast as you thought.

　　　 40 Don' t get stuck in planning. Or think that you will get started tomorrow or next week. Get the ball rolling instead. Do that today by just taking one small and practical step towards what you want.

A. Why am I telling you this?

B. Make a small change if possible.

C. Think about what you really want to change.

D. You can do what you can with what you have right now.

E. On the other hand, people also tend to' think highly of their own power.

F. Ask yourself: what is one small step I can take right now to get the ball rolling?

G. Spreading yourself too much always leads to failure because life tends to get in the way.
