What separates a successful and a happy person from the one who is not is his mindset; the way he thinks and approaches certain situations, the way he embraces the challenges that come his way, and how he is able to manage to be fine no matter what life throws at him.

On the other hand, other people who fail to achieve success in life are those who lack planning or unable to execute; the ones who settles with familiarity that cripples their potential for success, and the ones who are not able to think outside of the box.

It all boils down to changing one's mindset to ultimately change your life, and here is how.

1. Setting the right goals

According to Business Insider, setting the right goals mean being specific about it, and not being vague. You should be able to determine how you will get to your goals, you should have a solid game plan as well as a time frame for yourself. Otherwise, you are only setting yourself up for failure.

2. Get rid of what is draining your energy and positivity

Now that you have a goal in mind, you have to do everything in your means to make that goal happen, and that includes staying away and getting rid of the things that can hamper your way to success. These are the things that make you unproductive, unnecessary obligations and things that you really do not want to do. Learn when to say no, so you do not feel obligated to do something that you know is not going to be worth your time and effort.

3. Share your ideas with other people

According to Lifehack, it is better when your ideas are shared with your trusted colleagues, friends, and people in the same industry, because this is how you can gather helpful feedback and refreshing thoughts that can possibly make your ideas a lot better and useful.

4. Believe in yourself
