- Words I never want to hear from you: “I’m too old.”
You NEED new goals. The goals you had a decade ago are not the ones that are going to motivate you NOW.
The things that were important to me twelve years ago as a 40 year old are not what motivate me now as a 52 year old. Give yourself the incredible gift of taking time, flipping to a blank page, and MAKING NEW GOALS.
So instead of beating yourself up for NOT achieving the goals you made five, ten, or fifteen years ago, try flipping your attitude. Maybe you weren’t SUPPOSED to achieve those goals. Maybe those goals weren’t the ones that are meant for you.
Everything you have experienced in your life has been preparing you for this moment of reinvention. You have this amazing opportunity to look at the future with a whole new lens!
Ask yourself what is it that you want at this moment in your life? Because you’re NOT too told, too young, too late, or too soon.
You can reinvent, rebuild and rethink what you’re going to do next at any moment you choose. Today seems like the perfect day to start doing it 😉

Im 55 and spent the pandemic lockdown learning to code … no one will hire me due to my age but I found freelancing super easy and stupid profitable
Oh wow. I'm actually considering this too! If you don't mind me asking: which language(s) did you learn and what kind of freelance assignments do you do? (by the way I'm a 30 year old woman from the Netherlands)
@@Trinzle what you do other than coding for a living
@@jdwcreate Thanks, nice to hear a good success story and how you did it! I'll check out that website
@@johnedward2766 I'm currently a food technologist, did some hobby website-making in my teenage years (back when we wrote them in notepad, with frames, on a floppy 👍)
They WILL hire you if you dont give up
I’m 62 and studying to be a tax accountant.
That’s awesome! Good luck!
Love this! I've had students as a college professor the last few years who are all ages up to 80. The BEST students too.
Congratulations in your new career!
Awsome, you are my motivation. I am 62, too.

We are never too old! That´s the truth!
Share you the same point of view.
I don't think myself old but I don't have earning I want to go to army
I have been a stay at home mom for 21 years. It’s my sons last year of college a d my daughters last year of HS. I just started a job at Target last week! It is a huge change, but one that has been great! I am out being social and meeting so many people! I have been filled with compliments and people have been so kind! I had no idea how badly I needed this change! I am starting out slow, just PT so it has also been nice to ease back in. Highly recommend to anyone facing change. Go for it. It doesn’t have to be a forever. Keep trying till you find what makes you happy and comfortable. ❤️
There was absolutely no reason to be a stay at home mom so long. But good on you getting back at it
I'm a 33 yo and I don't go out a lot, you can say I'm more like a stay at home mom but without the children, I don't interact with many people since I don't go out enough to meet new people, I'm searching for a job these days and I was thinking to myself if I will manage to let people like me or to fit in, you don't know how your words helped, thanx ❤️
@@Jay-og4yb That was a rude comment. You don't know her or anything about her life. And maybe she CHOSE to and WANTED to be a stay-at-home mom.
@@catwhisperer1253 i wish I could just stay home and not work. How lovely. She leeches off her husband's funds while she "babysits" grown people, and then yet I'm the rude one because silly me, she did all that by choice.
@@Jay-og4yb Another rude and ignorant comment by you. Obviously, you can't do math either. Her kids weren't grown adults. If for example, she had her daughter 3 years after her son, then she stayed home to raise them until they both were 18. And no, she isn't "babysitting" them, she is "parenting" them. She isn't just lying around being lazy and not working. It is a lot of work to be a parent and keep a household running smoothly. Have you had kids? Did you do all the laundry, shopping, cleaning, driving the kids to all their activities, helping them with their homework, talking with them about all their concerns and struggles, taking them to doctor appointments, going to parent-teacher conferences, etc? The list is endless. I am sure her husband and her decided that they wanted the mother home for the kids. So, you are not only insulting her, but her husband, and all parents who choose to have a parent at home. Some people believe that the kids are better off with a parent at home and it is their right to choose. And, she certainly is not "leeching" off her husband. Those are his kids too and they need to be taken care of. You come off as a sad, sad man. Women cannot win in society. If they work, they are told that they are not a good mother for not staying home with the kids. And if they don't work, they are told that they are lazy. It takes SOO LITTLE for a man to be considered a good dad. And it takes SOO LITTLE for a woman to be considered a bad mom. The bar is so low for men. It is disgusting how little it takes for a man to be considered a good man. But, a woman is constantly criticized for everything. They can't win. Take your disgusting misogyny and just leave. The only regret I have is that I was not notified of your comment and was not able to reply sooner. I only saw the kind comments of others. You should learn about kindness from them.
Well said!!! I’m 56 and am clueless as to what I need to do in this chapter of my life
Hi write down 5 things that you think you like, bring inner peace, you regret not doing and hobbies evaluate them and give yourself time to try each untill you nail one on the head .
I actually just said "man I'm too old to do this..." and then like 5 minutes later here I am checking my subscriptions and there you are telling me I'm not too old.
Thanks. =)
Everything pops into our lives in the right time 😉
Really Mel??? 52??? You look incredible!!!!! 🙌🙌 I’m a 49er and totally starting a new carrear!! No fear is my new best friend lately!! 😂😂 Love ya!! 🙌✨💛
All the very best.
Botox but it is okay
you will make it
Congrats to you!!!! never to old to start a new career!
Turning 60 nx week and glad I saw this 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Turning 40 in 5 days I needed to see this!
ME to 🤣🤣🤣🤣, hello from Romania😉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Turning 40? Your practically a grown up now! The world is your oyster. You are less than halfway through life. Me? I'm thinking, wow, I m seventy, so I still have another twenty five years or more to start a new business and set it up to hand it on to my grandkids. Who can possibly see themselves as getting past anything except their school days at only rising forty???
I turned 40 last November & it wasn't great because it was in the midst of Covid & a couple months before the three-month lockdown, I've been studying in that time & I had a moment of tripping up & falling into a distinct lack of motivation/belief & feeling "old", which is nonsense now that I can look at it from a brighter perspective! People used to say "life begins at 40"... I get there & social media seems full of ageist 20-somethings thinking somehow they're magically immortal but I realised what I pay attention to & don't is my choice. Life goes on, & I adore Mel for having proved you can start all over again later in life & remain strong 💙
You have literally changed my life. The five second rule has allowed me to change immediately and positively, I am 65 and now taking on becoming a professional portrait and scene painter. I have done about 16 paintings and I am so proud of my new calling in life! You are a life changer and thank you for giving people permission to live their best life and how to do it!
I am SO proud of you!! The 5 Second Rule is only a guide, YOU did this

@@melrobbins , I really hope you watch this ma'am. This video is kind of a tribute to the ideology that you hold. Thank you for everything🙏🙏🙏❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow photoshop girl......wish you the best
I really needed this...I'm 26, almost 27...and since I got in my 20s I have been living with extreme anxiety that time's passing by and I haven't achieved my goals, and I'm running out of time for the things I want to dedicate myself to. I really struggle a lot in order to sleep and calm myself down in a daily basis. Been a fan for a couple of years and you have helped me a lot before with your videos. Thank you for all the work that you do.
Don't lose you hope you will definately achieve you goals very soon. God bless you.
@@Nileshpandey0907 Thank you for your words and taking the time to write :)
Wow.. your to young to be thinking like that take your time don't over think. 😁
You are SO young!!! I blame social media for driving people into saying they're "old" at perfectly healthy ages! 60 isn't even old I've seen a lot of people that age who have stunned me when I found out because they have so much energy & look younger & keep going 🙂 Ageism seems to be the only "ism" that isn't being extinguished, there are no movements for it & there needs to be!!! No way should people in their 20's be feeling low about age. 💖
@@MsArinay- your most welcome.🙏🏻
i started a new career/job at age of 40 , starting from zero again ........................never too late.
Exactly!
Thank you so much, I had so many dreams and goals to fulfil and didnt get to do any due to life happening and trying to do the best i could, now at 52, i was feeling too old, but now i watched your video, your absolutely right, maybe i wasnt meant to do any of it, just get stronger, thank you and now i have a blank canvass xxxxxxxxx
52 is not old these days. Far from it. Go for your life.
The truth is, we are never too old. It is just a bullshit thought we are
I say Go For It!! How I wished I had someone to give me the support I needed to get motivated back in the day!! You are never to old!
NEW GOALS IS THE KEY. Just what I needed to hear today. Thank you.
Omygod the timing is perfect. Deciding on a career switch, I'm so scared to make the decision. Thanks for this 🙏
Life is too short. Dive into the career that makes you truly love what you do!
I am 66 years old. As a professional stage actress, I walked away from theater 15 years ago to become a self-employed senior caregiver in private homes in order to financially support myself. My goals have changed. I no longer have a burning desire to get back on stage but I definitely want to write plays with juicy roles for older actors and actresses and I wrote a novel inspired by my experiences as a caregiver, currently seeking a literary agent and/or traditional publisher. I’ve still got a lot of living to do! Thank you for the inspiration.
Im 70. I Need the kind of help that I never expected .
I saw you in tom bilyeu’s yt and i love you soo much. I am currently unemployed, perplexed dont know what to do where to go. Analysis paralysis not to mention i am all over the place. A lot of plans, desires no actions. Being unemployed for a year with piles of debt, all the self limiting patterns, low self esteem, lack of self love goodness! Definitely a recipe for disaster. Devouring your content, and forcing myself to act today. Thank you mel for the inspiration. Feels like i have found my mentor 😉
I have been struggling with this for the last two years. This just clicked with me, thank you so much.
Reinventing myself for the past month = career change 👍
I am 46 years young and I just quit my job to sell homemade baked goods from my home. I might not get rich and famous for it, but doing what I want, how I want, my time, my schedule is an amazing feeling. THANK YOU MEL ROBBINS
54.. thinking about going back to school.. interviewing with financial aid tomorrow 🤓💃🏻🙄
Do it! I'm a college professor and I have more and more students who are over the age of 40 now. I have a student who was 75+ a year ago. Best student ever!
I'm 36. I sometimes think that I'm too old to get pregnant now.
On the other hand, I thank God, because in my 20s I wasn't mature enough to be a mother.
You are not too old! I was 37 when I had baby #2 ( :
Paris Hilton has just famously announced her pregnancy at 40. I know someone who got pregnant at 42. Do not write yourself off as too old you're a good age to be a mother & be more of a responsible mother at that.
I got pregnant at 37 with “PCOS”, no thyroid and type 1 diabetes. I have a happy healthy 10 year old now (breastfeed her for 3 years to make her super healthy).
It’s more common than you think !!... I was 40 when I had my 2nd child, my ex’s current wife (2-3 years older than me)had her daughter 3 months after me, my husband’s mom was 42 having him, my grandma had my dad @ 41, my friend @ 42 . I know many more older than you...I just did the top few over 40 😉 it was great and loved every second of being a mom at 40 , he is now 14 and has no complaints 💞
Yes definitely agree with you @Donna Spitler. Definitely more common than one thinks or what the narrative is. 3 friends at 42 had their 3rd and 4th children and 1 friend at 44 had her 1st child.
I needed to hear this. Thank you
Thank you I’m in Paris right now. My goal is to really really keep walking every day to improve my knees so I can continue to walk in my older age.
Thanks Mel. Over 50 yrs old going into trucking. 🤗 I'm going for it! 🙏💪
Thank you internet Aunt Mel. Just the right words I needed at this moment in my life
I'm 58 years young and receiving my Master's Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I just discovered you Mel! Thank you so much! You're such an inspiration!
This is fan tas tic!! I'm doing this at 63. Mel is my Godsend.
Good luck I am 63 also and she's right we,are not too old.
Thanks Mel I needed that. I'm going to be 50 in a couple weeks. I'm entering a new chapter. ❤
So excited for you!! Happy (early) Birthday!
@@melrobbins Thank you very much 🌝
I am going to be 68??!! Goals change all the time, enjoy the new!
Mel, love you, you rock🤚🏼
I’ve only just subscribed to Mel and this video is so poignant right now. I’ve spent most of my 30s freaking out that I’m getting closer to 40. Earlier this year I got diagnosed with breast cancer and realised how much time I wasted stressing about my age. At 38 I completely changed my goals and reprioritised my life so I can follow my passion for art. So happy and loving it!!
I'll turn 40 in mid December. I'm feeling a great need for shift inside my mind, my relations, my true self. I'm feeling change and evolution through my life, more awareness and grounding. So blessed to hear your message Mel!
Love this message. I really needed to hear this , specially now that I'm 50 yrs young. 😅😷. Thanks Mel. We need your inspirations.
Thank you, Mel! It is so true that the “wants” of the yesteryears do change. My view, my path, is so much clearer in my 50s than it was in my 20s. Life becomes more meaningful as we age, too. Excitement never grows old.
50 this week so needed to see this ❤️😊 thank you for virtual kicking my butt!
Thanks for making this video. I am 26 from India(Mumbai) i want to become a doctor and i am thinking to give medical entrance examination(NEET). My mind always remind that i am too late to enter in this field. But will atleast try for once.

Go go go!!!! Let us know how it went!
You ll be an amazing doctor
I thought I was too old to have a Highschool Crush - but thanks to Mel Robbins I have the courage to ask those 16 yr olds for dem digits. Thanks Mel!
As a 51 year old, this came at a perfect time. Thank you! ❤
Love this!!! I’m 62 and recently launched a production house making animation and music. I’m loving life!
That is actually very relevant. I have changed. Grown in past decade and realized what I do appreciate and what I don't. And there are certain things in life I am just going to tolerate or just accept. I sat for some evening with biased people around me and non biased people and concluded that 24 year in one field if busines was enough and it's time to move on. So I have picket studies to become a barrister. Is it gonna be hard, yes. So what. I am 48 and ready. Thank you for all your videos as your are one of the non biased people ❤
💖 it's about time we stomp out ageism!! & also truly embrace our possibilities going forwards, the past exists in memories only; a mere ghost of the mind. The future, it's open for bold & bright moves. I did need this video to stay on track, so thank you! 😎💗💗
yes to this! Ageism needs to go. Well said.
YES!
Great timing! Always key to recreate the vision we have for ourselves and the plans to become that person.
Wow! Perfect timing !!! I am 51 and pursuing my Masters for school counseling and super excited ! Lol some of my older kids are shocked that I'm choosing to go back to school closer to retirement. Love the concept you shared about our goals changing and that something that may have fit for me in my 40s just doesn't fit now. Our lives are full of many chapters!!! Thank you!
Wow, congrats! I’ve been doing that for about 20 years but My body is sort of aging out due to repetitive strain injury so I was just thinking about how old I feel in terms of transitioning into personal and relationship counseling with less desk work and less walking around. Not sure if you have been a teacher before, I never was a teacher previously. Here’s what I want to say though - congratulations to you, the profession will make you stay and feel young in many ways, and Counseling tends to be more of a profession that doesn’t seem as age discriminatory as other professions. Best wishes :-)
@@lisaschooler9992 I love teaching and have been involved with a private school as a music teacher and librarian...then switched to public as a substitute just this year which I love! Sometimes the thought of physical limitations can be paralyzing to try but I'll do it for as long as I can. Thanks for the positive encouragement and same to you!!!
amazing thought
Left my job of 17 years to go back to school for my masters in a healthcare profession. Totally different but you're right, my goals now are completely different now and what I was doing is no longer serving me.
Thk u Mel, needed to hear this
30 years and so over life….
God bless everyone!
Thankyou Mel Robbins
Im 33. I was a civil engineer for a long time. Im now becoming a data analyist. I want a remote job where i can travel and record. Life is about change.
Love you! You’re such a gift and I’m so glad I found you! Thank you for inspiring me 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I'm 61. Since the pandemic struck, I've completed both a degree in Dance and a post-graduate certificate. I'm taking my career, indeed my whole life, in a new direction.
Thank you❗
I'm 70 years young. After my small business evaporated during covid, I reinvented myself and studied the mortgage loan industry for 6 months. I even bought a new business wardrobe, but it just wasn't meant to be. Nobody but nobody would respond to LinkedIn or resumes with job applications. Oh well, back to the drawing board: writing, public speaking, fundraising, and my ZBIG goal is to develop an non-profit organization that financially supports the small, independent animal rescue organizations. Wish me luck!
Wow I really needed to hear this! I was always wanting to do something in my life that was different after raising my children and never did anything I'm without excuse..I know this sounds ..well...I wanted to but my spouse never gave me support to reach those goals when I did try and go back to school..I get resentful thinking about how I let this happen they say hindsight is 20/20.im 65 now and work in a delicatessen supporting myself...I need to rethink what I need to do thanks so much for the video
I so want this on a loop!
Flip the page! Love it! You are four days older than me, Mel, thanks for the reinforcement. Yes, I am meant to be here watching you!
Not a coincidence that I stumbled upon this video during this confusing time in my life. Thank you Mel, I really needed to hear this ... Onward and upward we go!
Thank you Mel!
Your videos are amazing and inspirational. I watch and hear you but I don’t know why I don’t seem to move on. I am starting to wonder, if i am lazy or just lacking in self esteem. Keep up the good work.
Anyone can do whatever they want to. The first step you take, is the first step to success. Look at your feet. Free up those feet, and let them move forward in the line , of success. Who doesn't want to be in the front of the line, but a person has to take the first step to move in the line forward to get there.
Consistency is the key to being successful in what you want to do.
Don't fear the fear itself.
Fear that some day you look back at all the time that was wasted being fearful of moving forward to what you always wanted to do, or of what you always could do. Flush the fear. Getting out of a person's comfort zone of wishful thinking is healthy, and also allows a person to have a more fun, and better quality of life.
Just do it ! 💪😁 👍🎈
Guess positive mindset works better and making that move gives you the opportunity to achieve what you want 💪
Amazing speech.
..
Thank you mel
Thanks for sharing this Mel, I'm at a crossroads in my life and really needed to hear this today ❤
Of course- I know you've got this!
@@melrobbins Thank you 😊👍
You are amazing Mel.
Dear person, who reads it. Yes, I mean exactly you! Maybe we don't know each other. Still, I want to say, that I believe in you! You will certainly achieve your dreams and your happiness! Just don't give up and be honest with yourself! Now you have at least one person who constantly believes in you, which means you are fated to realize your dreams! No doubts here ^)
*Best wishes for you ❤️ from a friendly RUclipsr.*
Thank you
Thank you!
Thanks & best wishes for you from india(Mumbai)
Thank you, amazing advice, xxx J from London
Thank you. 💗 We needed that. 🫂
Perfect timing....love you Mel!
So happy to read this i have retired after 40 years with a phone company i am 60 and i am starting a SNA course tjis september
Thank you, Mel 👍 I’m sure that’s right! I think we can achieve so much once we realize what we want. I got a lot of energy when I made my hobby a job. My age doesn’t matter, it only matters that I realized it and that I’m doing the right thing now. 👍
My life is just getting started at forty - starting new Carrer, buying a house & getting married soon. Age is just a number 🙌
Thanks you Mel!! I needed this!!♥️♥️♥️
Thank you Mel.. ☺️😊
THANK YOU and LOVE U MEL!!♥️♥️
Just turned 50 and studying for my MI real estate exam 🤓 Mel, I needed to hear this, more than once 🥰
I needed to hear this today, thank you.
Really really needed to hear this perspective today. Thank you!
Mel this is beautiful!! Thx mel!! Namaste to u!
Appreciate you Mel x
Mel is always so motivating and so real.
One of those perfect gems of a speech.
Thank you!
Never tooo old....but hard to know ourselves were to lead..
Great video, Mel. We are right on time to achieve whatever goals we have set out for ourselves. We have the experience and know how to to whatever we want to accomplish. We just need to believe in ourselves and embrace the fact that we CAN do it.
Thank you @melrobbins, I have just passed my level two Reiki so now am a practitioner with out a business, so their is my first goal and I also want to set up an e-commerce holistic website.
That's awesome!
@melrobbins thank you 🙏
I am not too old. I tried again to go to college. I had 2 brain aneurysm ruptures, my brain is slow. And I tried, and tryed, and trying again.
Believe me, I would be so happy. I want to write my life-story, I can't even do it in my own language /french /
I wish that I could have help!
Check with your school …you might qualify for things like extended test taking time, free tutoring and even an attendant to help take notes in class!
@@karijaneify I tried and they put me in a class that was starting months ago.
Thank you 🙏
So true!! Merci Mel!
Yes, yes yes! I'm about to turn 40 and it's time to flip the page and make a new chapter. I'm so excited for the new goals. 40 is the new 30s right?! I'm reinventing myself and find it helpful to say that I can still keep up with the 20 year olds! As a college professor teaching musical theatre I've discovered that I have more confidence as I grow older.
Thank you. You inspired me!
Yes, yes, and yes. I start my PhD on September 9th, 5 days before I turn 54.
Hey, Mel! Thank you! Timing is everything. Just THANK YOU SO MUCH.
I will be 30 this year. I studied economics but due to depression and anxiety it took me way too long. Always worked as a working student. Now I realise that i don't work in that field after graduating. I was always interested in science and thinking about pursuing a degree in biochemistry. I feel to old. I feel like no company will hire me because of my age and my lack of experience and achievements. I know this video is already 2 years old but I feel super lost and slowly loose hope. I feel like a failure and I am afraid of the future.
I love your thoughts. You motivate me.
Amazing! Cheers from Brazil, Mel. 🇧🇷
I love you Mel!
Love you mel ❤️❤️❤️
Thank you
Mel, you are my favorite person on internet. Could you please make a book or video about cheating/lying boyfriend and husband? As an old woman, I deal with this shit all the time. Every time my partner gets caught cheating, I move on. Then I find my new boyfriend cheating on me again. I break up and move on. This cycle seems endless. I am still a single. Never been married. Life sucks as a woman. How do we deal with this? Please..... Add this topic to your next book. I'm buying all of your books. Thank you. God bless you. Love you Mel.
Thank you for this incredible message Mel Xxx
