to hook up with and retain the attention of those who can help you get the work done.

      3. Pay closer attention to what you are learning

      Make sure that you are daily adding to your reservoir of knowledge, skills, and information. You are the total of the information with which you process life; make sure you have control over what your mind is chewing it.

      4. Get your hands in the mud and do something new

      This is a very fantastic part of reinvention; you become a new person if you can get your hands to work on something new. Learn a new skill, start a new project, get a new job or volunteer for something new.

      5. Out with the old and mean it

      There may be habits, thoughts, things, and people you need to get rid of; take time to identify them and deal ruthlessly with them. If you need help, go all out to get it. You cannot find newness if you are still comfortable with your chains.

      6. Let it pain you

      One of the reasons you may not do anything about your stagnated self is that you may have been ignoring it and just wishing it will go away. I advise that you allow it get to you so you can deal with it as soon as possible.

      7. Change, modify or enhance your plans

      You need to look at what you have planned and make necessary adjustments that will suit the kind of changes you need to make and do it as a matter of urgency.

      Your life and vitality is your responsibility, go ahead and make the rest of your life count boundlessly. You only have two choices, be phenomenal or be forgotten.
