Yes! I feel sad to hear you Mel,say that you feel lost.I want you to know that you have been a source of inspiration for me,and many people.I still don't understand why your show was cancelled.Can somebody explain that to me?
5,4,3,2,1 - you got this! I listen to almost daily to remind myself of setting goals, to remind myself to move forward with dreams. You are like listening to a mom friend. New town, small town = new connections and new experiences.
Hey miss you are right .we need her Dear I wanna share with you something And I wanna know your views . would you like to talk to me.actually I'm 19 years old . I'm confused about something .
Hey Mel ! I am 55 ...several years ago, I divorced after 30 years, lost all my friends had my reputation destroyed ...thought I'd lose my mind. SO...I started cycling... and grad school and therapy ....then I remarried , finished school...remarried even after thinking ..."who would ever want me?" I found a wonderful man, and then I started a business and now I think...its never too late to reinvent a new beginning. Cycling rebuilt my legs and my spirit. I can out cycle my sons and they are in their 20s. I think we are all struggling to figure out our next step...its when you stop that you truly begin to age.
Thanks for posting this. It reminds me to keep moving forward, to dream bigger and do greater things. Good luck with cycling, grad school, theraphy and i wish you a wonderful life 💜💜💯
Well yu are brillent my friend I need my self two do something iv been saying this for months a bike is the answer but don't do it then yu hav just helped me more then yu think thank yu x
I have felt hopeless and lost for the last two years. I am 54. Most of these two years I have woken up and cried. I am blessed with everything I have but I have demons I am fighting with internally. I do not speak to anyone about this and have been carrying this burden on my own. My point today is that I have not been able to be inspired by anyone or anything until I just witnessed your video. You have made me want to fall in love with life again. This is priceless to me and I thank you with all my heart. 💖
Just because you are in your 50's or 60s or more... and you don't inspire anyone.... doesn't means you are a failure. Inspiring someone is NOT the goal of this life. Living your life the best as you can, that makes you happy.... is what inspires others to be like you and to make a difference... thats what life is all about. Look Colonel Sanders for example, he got rejected more than 900 times all of his life until his KFC restaurant succeed at the age of 73 which he became rich and successful until he passed away at the age of 93 while kFC took all over the world as we see it today. And despite of his rejections and family problems, he has lived much longer, even himself... learned how live and enjoy his life through the moments. So.... there is no reason to be ashamed for feeling lost. You can start something small and simple. Don't do it for success, do it because you want to enjoy life. Is never too late. I'm 27 years old, never had much work experiences during the past and I'm also stuck too but... after reading the book of rich dad and poor dad, my depression and anxiety is getting reduced because im finally having the answers that I been looking for and there are new open doors, that I didn't know it existed which I'm willing to try and learn much as I can. Is never too late.
I lost my wife at 52 a year later my life is boring and sad it could be worse but I’m not happy because I have health problems which are limiting my ability to work sad every day when I wake up I have some regrets and that the worst thing besides feeling lonely
Life is sad and seemingly pointless....I feel for you all so much, and wish that our lives would have more meaning and hope. Just remember, it's not why we are here that matters, but simply that we are , the odds that we even exist at all, are unfathomable. Each and every one of you are a miracle of the cosmos. Life seems so small sometimes , but you have no beginning or end, you are a timeless, spark of the universe, a breath from the very Creator of everything, a timeless, endless, limitless God that wants you to experience the magic of what he has made, breath it in, you are part of it all, and it only lasts for a moment, and then... zoom you return to the source, to become something new.
"The reason I feel lost is because when I look ahead I don't see anything to look forward to because I haven't created anything to look forward to." WOW! Did I ever need that one. I am grateful for that. Be well. Thank you.
Same!!! And her talking about life looking like a blank white piece of paper, ive been saying those exact words!!! Recieved insight from her and personally, thanks Mel!!!
I'm not your usual subscriber. I am a 63 year old Puerto Rican male who hates jumping out of bed in the morning. And while I don't always agree with some of your opinions, I do appreciate your passion and commitment. I shall continue to follow you. You're a true inspiration.
Happy birthday to one of the most inspirational women on earth. I think we all feel lost sometimes, but we push on and find the good ♥️ Thank you for being you.
Thank you for allowing us to see you in a valley. Most powerful people and leaders only allow followers to see them on a high! This reminds me of how human and real you are. I absolutely love you and I love what you stand for! Very Happy Birthday to you!!!😘🙏
Maybe it is a little bit egoistic but i feel better when i know that i am not alone. Knowing that there are other people who don't have their lives figured out clams me especially when they are successful and wise like Mel! Happy birthday Mell! Keep inspiring! ❤️
Classy entrepreneurss - Shule Yashar I get this. I think it helps us to feel that we are not alone or nuts for feeling the way we do. I’ve been going through some hard things all alone and while I know I’m strong, it does help me feel not so alone when I hear Mel talk about this. It helps me and all of us and it’s hopeful. We keep moving forward. Not easy but talking helps.
I think the thing about it is that we know that we are understoodand somewhere deep inside if someone else can understand us then we can be understanding towards yourself a little more and be a little easier on ourselves and not so critical and thus it helps us feel more at ease, clear-minded and gives us a better perspectives and all just because someone else has gone through the same thing and they understand. 🙏
@@clarissamck Can't agree more! Well said. "Misery loves company"... It feels inspiring and gives you courage when you see that there are people who deal with worse things and still do good. It gives you hope. :)
@@SY-sp8uo I am a writer with steady writing success, but all other areas of my life is very painful. I had two narc parents that never cared about me and died leaving a way to spit in my face as hard as they could all while others stood by and got nothing but love from them and left for them. I was used and thrown away by my family and I am always alone, almost all day, and I have nothing but writing, yeah I am a successful writer but I am living with serious health problems and the fact that everyone I ever loved only saw me as a tool. You are not alone.
This has potentially saved me!!! I found this today and I am 62 and feeling the same way. But you talk about old and new life. That was a wake up call for me because I have not excepted the new life and that’s what I and gonna do from now on! Thank you.
Human beings have the capacity to be most inspiring when we are on our knees. I believe this is a God given quality. It reminds us that we don’t have all of the answers, that something bigger is at work and that all we have to do is keep showing up.
Great photo, countenance, and name, Tony Derbyshire. Permit me, however, to share one of David Icke's book titles with you: HUMAN RACE, GET UP OFF YOUR KNEES; THE LION SLEEPS NO MORE. We are NOW in The GREAT AWAKENING, when, day by day, we hav opportunity to discover "that something BIGGER is at work"... showing UP, as in BEing PRESENT is Key, and so is LOVING TRUTH, for finding Divine Guidance, one's OWN Truth, included. All the BEST to you, et al. SUgee, woodlawnmermaid@hughes.net
Tony you said something incredible “ when we are on our knees, “ human have the capacity to be the most inspiring “ a given quality “ This is why we Muslim kneel down when we praying it 🧎♀️it bring unexplainable relief of any stress and brings tranquility. Indeed it’s god way of talking to us when we submit to him on our knees
Happy Birthday Mel! You have inspired me so much starting with Mindset Reset. I was 65 , retired and thanks to you lost 55 pounds, went back to college to get a degree, and took chances I NEVER would have taken. I was lost too before I found you! My heart aches that you find yourself like this. Maybe you need to do another Mindset Reset Series. I'm sure we could all use it during this gigantic shift in our lives called CoVID.
Happy Birthday Mel! You are an incredible contribution and there is so much life left - and in case nobody tells you - I love you and I am definitely rooting for you! Happy Birthday!🎂
Happy birthday hon your a strong women your in our prayers. Getting older we feel like we haven't done everything we need too. Being overwhelmed is normal exercise is great. Flowers journaling all good. Take care of you today you deserve it.
Aaw Mel! Happy Blessed Birthday! I feel your pain as I turned 50 this year and felt like for all that I've done in life, I had nothing to show for it. I was feeling the same way you are on yesterday but a friend encouraged me to go workout. Then I ate a whole bag of gummy bears. That made me happy😁 and then I wrote down all my big goals and shared it with a friend so I continue to keep my dreams alive.
Hey darlin' .. I'm about to turn 72, but I can vividly remember when I had just turned 50 and feeling lost that an 80 year old patient of mine having the same birthdate as myself reminded me that I had just started out in life. 'Why, you're just a baby' she scolded. 21 years later I can now look back on what she meant so when I get that feeling of not being relevant anymore, I allow myself to live in the absolute PRESENT and let the universe unfold as it will. Good, bad or indifferent. You're on the right track for sure. What about documenting your new environment (Vermont!) in the form of pictures and stories? I, for one, would LOVE to visit New England during the changing of the seasons. Maybe YOU will be the one to provide these endearing events for us. Good luck in your journey through life Mel. Why, you're just a baby! 💖
"The reason I feel lost is because when I look ahead I don't see anything to look forward to because I haven't created anything to look forward to." That is the word! That totally landed!
Spend time alone thinking, introspecting and self talk on empowering questions. 10 to 30 minutes daily will give you to boost on what to look ahead for. Remember silence and solitude are great enablers of suitable environment.
Wow HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL, to anyone reading this and you look up to Mel remember that we all go through a strange crisis, none of us are perfect at all. I always say in my videos to just do the best with what you have 💯 stop for a second and just be grateful for how far you have come and where you are at this current moment
This was why I love you so much - you’re real and so relatable - this is why you’ll always be a success in your field - you are REAL and RELATABLE!! Means so much in such a filtered world. I know you will pull through this and you will go on to inspire and help others - to be able to do that whilst going through your own pain is just beautiful. Thank you Mel and thank you for being truthful ❤️Happy Birthday Mel xxx
Mel, I'm 27 and I'm exactly where you are. I can honestly say I've cried like this every day this week and it's not even Wednesday yet. Even just seeing another woman express this with helped me so much. Your video helped me just get through the day and feel slightly less lonely. It was so moving and honest, which is wonderfully refreshing given that most self help content resorts to false positivity. They don't recognise the value in feeling negative emotions, in order heal or process pain. So now allow yourself that time to feel it all, even if you have to cut back on content. Think of it as putting your own air mask first type scenario. You have the other tools already, you just need to pause and then move forward. Hugs from the UK
This is really a fantastic response. So authentic. Sometimes we just feel what we feel and sharing what we truly feel can be very therapeutic. Hope your day goes better. 😘
Hey Mel, I honestly love how you show the whole world you are human too! And you face problems just like everyone else ❤️❤️❤️ Happy birthday and more Power to you 🍾 Where there is pain there is growth ❤️
@mel Robbins today I listened to this video after listening to your first podcast that references this video. I am that 52 yo. My 52nd birthday was in September and it was the first birthday I have spent alone. My friends were too busy, too tired, my son is away at school, my parents are gone and I had a bad breakup this year. I want to thank you. Thank you for being real. I made my wish today, went for a walk, and life starts anew today. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I now know that I am not alone.
Mel Robbins you are a beautiful human being. Celebrating a person who is a gift to all mankind. Happy ‘Birth’ Day! 🤗 Thank you, thank you, thank you.❤️
You're a beautiful soul and you still have another 50 left in you. The change is going to happen, what matters is adapting fluidly to the situation. Yes new things can be scary. Focus on keeping moving forward. You are not your current circumstances. Know that fear can be extremely positive once you learn to recognize it as opportunity. Find your long term goals again, Jordan Petersons self authoring is powerful. You inspire others, let others inspire you.
You inspired me when I was low. If courage is moving from thought to action, then inspiration is moving from mourning to reframing a new dream. You are helping on a deep level to others. Maybe grow and mentor others, similar to Dave Ramsey’s model. Don’t feel like you have to do it all alone. Honestly talk shows are probably dying, podcasts all the way! You are great I’m excited to continue following your journey!
Mel. You have NO idea how i needed to hear this RIGHT NOW. No idea. Know that even in your struggles, you inspire. Your raw honesty has literally saved me this evening. Thank you.
Mel honestly you are amazing and authentic and to be honest I respect you more today then I ever have and I feel closer to you!!!! Your everything even in this “paused” moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for being raw
Happy birthday 🎉 you beautiful, loving, wise soul!!! I wish you the best birthday 🎂 month! Enjoy my friend! You have been a positive, guiding force for us out here during these dark times! You and all of us will be fine! It’s been a hell of year & we will get through this together! Bless you Mel and thank you 🙏 for all your positivity & awesome information! Sending you mucho Love ❤️, positive vibes and best wished! Much love to you and the familia! 😘
In a world that tells us we have to be positive all the time and show everyone everything is wonderful and perfect this is needed. Oh and happy birthday 🎂 🥳.
You bet,I agree with you.But sometimes, Truth is the truth, we need to face and tell all the real happening bravely ,and ask yourself how about your feeling now, don't pretend to feel everything is fine, after all ,life is not always care about our true feeling.Have a good one.
When you're given a death sentence,- a year to live- stage 4 cancer- you learn to hold on to this moment only. To appreciate what you do have, what you can do, and move on! Healthy New Year! 💜
Hi Diane, if you need someone to talk to, other than your usual friends and family, then consider me. i can empathise, i am just a bit younger than yourself, but had a cancer scare earlier this yr, i used to be a nurse and i can only imagine how difficult things must be. i am finding this covid business very stressful personally. hope you have a good day!
Wow and we think the post is brave .!!!!!!!........so are you, I know brave isnt the right word but I think standing and admitting to the world your cancer is brave positive thoughts and health sent you way x hugs x
Mel, I see your experiences as the end of identities that no longer serve you, and that is amazing because something else will come to you. I wish you all your heart desires manifest and welcomes the unknown. Much Love.
Happy Birthday Mel, from S Africa! That was quite profound and a little sad. Be happy that you have your husband and children and treasure that. I lost my 15yr old son and then my 18 yr old daughter and husband within a week of eachother. You have given me inspiration in the past. Now I have got my life together (apart from dozens of boxes of papers that are overwhelming), have lost 37kgs (81lbs) and have several trips planned to Europe next year (covid permitting). Turning 72 in December and determined to squeeze in as much as I can, while I can. Vermont magic in the fall is on my bucket list. Good luck with the move, a new chapter in your book of life. x
Oh Mel, I understand the lost feeling. Oct 6 My husband and I were moving to an Adult Community because we were downsizing from our home of 17 years. 2-1/2 years ago he got Vascular Dementia and I have been his 100% caregiver - which was my honor and pleasure to care for him. We were married 45 wonderful full of love years. October 5 the day before we were to move he passed away and my world turned upside down like yours. Now I have this other house, where everything is different, new area, new town and no husband. boxes are piled up in my old home and I am suppose to move on Thursday. I have to keep going because I don't need or want to have the cost of 2 homes obviously - and now I have to move there without him! I am going to handle my situation - one box at a time. I feel like I am arranging this new home for someone else, it doesn't feel real. And I miss him sooooo bad , I ache. I cry. I feel empty. And yet life went on, it's been a week, I got thru a week, By God's Grace, family and friends helping me be strong. I promised him I would be. So see, will get thru this holding each other up and learning I am sure some lesson so we can help others!
😌 You are so blessed. I’ve read several comments on posts about narcissists that are truly scary. A lot of people have been married 20, 30, 40 years, and it’s been pure hell for them. Take things one day at a time, and remind yourself of how lucky you were to have had the man and marriage you had. Take care. 👋🏾
Mel, you literally changed my life when I saw your comment on “what would you do if money wasn’t an issue?” I followed my nose and now I work in disability and I love it more than anything I’ve done before. Thank you!
Mel, I'm 62. 10 years older than you. I'll be 63 next month. This year I had to move out of my forever home in Whitehall Michigan. I saw you had visited the Red Rooster this past summer. My 44 year hair career ended. My daughter delivered her sweet baby boy 7 weeks early. My son's cancer in his colon has spread to his liver. I've moved near my daughter, far away from my friends and family. Thank you for your message today. I choose to dream BIG!
You have helped millions of people including me. I’m so sorry you r feelin this way. We all love you and have nothing but hope for happiness and optimism for your future.
Happy Birthday. Thank you for being so honest with us. I love this about you. I know you will figure this out and inspire us along the way. *huge hugs* crying is aloud. Please know you are very loved.
“Yet to create”...how exciting these words sound! Mel, take the paintbrush and choose favourite colours! Happy birthday from Ireland! Smile ☺️ You have a choice what picture to draw, what future to create! 🥰🌸🎂☀️ 🤗
Happy birthday, Mel! This time IS challenging, isn’t it?! It’s rocking all of us. Your business challenge has got to be devastating for you. Needing to move for your son is part of a parent’s job, yet it is one of the biggest stressors for most people. Good for you for following your steps. They’ll be useful for many of us. I just turned 78 almost 10 days ago. Very quiet, with no one with me but my dog. Thanks goodness for phone calls from friends and family! Blessings for helping you AND us out of the morass of dark feelings! Much love. ❤️
Happy Birthday Mel! I love your authenticity and even if it didnt feel like it, this was incredibly inspiring! Hit the nail on the head for exactly what I needed today. Sending you love and hugs and I am going to go and write down some big dreams...
I was hesitating to watch this because of the title. I'm glad that I actually watched. Thank you for being real, vulnerable and honest. Especially for the self awareness. Blessings to you.
Today is my mom's 50th birthday.. She lives in Portugal and I'm in Germany. I just became homeless and completely broke and in depth. Luckily I can live in a friends house. Unfortunately I couldn't visit my mom.. it's her first birthday without me... Worst is that she doesn't even know about my situation.. I too feel lost .. But writing down my thoughts helps me out. Following my intuition and talking to God helps me a lot. I'm still grateful for all the experiences I learned over the last years especially this year. I'm sure that you're lost temporarily Mel and that you'll find yourself and your way to a new and bright future. Happy birthday ☺️
So sorry you are going through such a time..you are taking steps to action a positive movement though and that in itself is a huge thing! Be proud of that and remember..there is only one way to go when you hit this stage..upwards! You will do well. You will be successful. You will be happier. Wishing you well ❤️
You're not alone! I'm in a very similar situation, but it helped me to read your message and to hear of your strength! Keep pushing forward, you just inspired me and made me feel less alone!
1. Happy belated birthday 2. This is a different season for everyone’s lives. I’m a childless widow who was caregiver for her parents until they each passed. I’m in the process of discovering my own life at the age of 54. Each loss has meant a new normal for me and I am discovering a new voice for myself in my new normal. ❤️❤️❤️
@@suzanneh2679 prayers for you. Digital hugs. I’m very sorry for your loss. Baby steps. Take things at your own pace as much as possible and focus on what you have control of. ❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻❤️🙏🏻
Not to minimize your situation but I think everyone is dealing with these things right now. For example, I live alone and I have been working from home since March and we were told recently we are going to be working remote from now on- permanently. As much as I enjoy working from home a few days a week and how grateful I am to be working - the idea of working alone all day, every day and coupled with being isolated because of the pandemic I want to cry. But I just try to tell myself THIS isn’t forever. That’s as much as I can dream right now. Happy Birthday 😊
Darling this year is year of change... Change can be overwhelming but we can ALL do this... What ever life brings trust yourself, love yourself and respect yourself... Life is good, change is needed and we reborn again everyday... Keep smiling beautiful lady 😘😘😘😘💖💖💖you are amazing and you will come up with new fabulous ideas 😘😘😘sending love and light 💞💞💞💞🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
You are now in a perfect position to go back and listen to some of your talks. Because you’re in the exact mindset of the folks who are listening to your talks. What an interesting perspective, what a gift, actually. You can put it to use. You can be in the same mindset of those who you’re speaking to. God love you, Mel. I’m sorry this is your tough chapter. Everyone gets a shake at it, and it totally sucks! You know it’s going to be OK in your gut, it’s just hard going through the day to day. I’m sending you a million well wishes, because that energy really works! I’m writing a Keto cookbook/lookbook as a complement to my foodie blog. (Yep, It’s Keto). I’ll collaborate on a project with you today. I know your work, and I know your worth. You are a true asset, MeL. Consider this your first offer post-birthday. 😉. (Not kidding. Robin@YepItsKeto.com.) By the way, we are exactly 2 months apart in age. 💪🏽
Oh Mel Happy Birthday! We must count our Blessings... Your a survivor look forward to your future!!! I am so grateful you can articulate a strategy!!! Thank you for sharing
"One pulls the arrow backwards before releasing it into new hights." I don't know who said it, but it helped me in such situations before, so I hope it helps you, too. Sending you love ❤️
Mel, go change that black jumper for something bright. Girl, did we forget to tell you, you are a global phenomena? That's right, global. Too big for national TV. TV is old school anyways. You have given us love support when it was sorely needed. I am one of your 1000 true fans. Loving your new audible podcast. Ps I am on a 'sabbatical' to do the same. Dreaming big. Have projects etc. My new word is Create. Happy birthday Mel! We do love you. For real xxx All the way from deepest darkest Africa (South Africa)
I hope you had a Happy Birthday and like the pheonix you will rise!! I just turned 70 and I am determined to reach my goals and dreams and you are helping me get there. I love you Mel and thank you for your honesty.
Oh Mel you're breaking my heart. I haven't met you but it feels very much like you're a friend to me already, because you helped me find ways to overcome my own demons, and so I really hate to see you hurt. I wish you a very Happy Birthday anyway, so please receive this wish tomorrow as a new beginning if it helps, and let's morally support one another and find some ways to overcome the sense of overwhelm and loss that is only natural this year. Let's make our lives what we want them to be no matter what. I personally try sisu, the Finnish grit. Big friendly hug and also to the lovely cutie-kitty.
All this means is that you’re human. We can’t always be the superwoman we want to be for ourselves and for our family. This year has been challenging to say the least. It’s put a lot of us in a place we didn’t think we’d be. Set backs and tremendous changes have set the tone this year. But I know for certain you have risen out of that dark place and you will again. Thank you for being a continuous inspiration. You rock 😘
I respect you coming out and being so honest to us individuals. This is a great message for all to take in and interpret to benefit ourselves. Don't look to far forward sweetheart and just be in your own moment.. We all feel these emotions, your no exception. Don't beat yourself up and get moving lady.
Dear Mel, you spoke about creating a future to inspire yourself. How about think this as a pause to enjoy only the present, as Eckart Tolle said, the power of now. Everything you have now in your hands to be greatful for. Being resilient. Hugs.
It just goes to show that even someone with all of the knowledge still goes through ups and downs and you must adapt and react to what life throws at you. Thank you Mel, keep your chin up
When I’m stuck because I’m feeling like a procrastinating-perfectionist, I think about you and how you said just do one thing today that moves you forward in your goal. Just one thing. You inspire and are in the minds of people you’ve never met. Just remember how much you’ve done to help people. You really are in my mind when I need help getting over myself.
True she is in the minds of people she has never met! Sometimes I think about her countdown she talked about many times which is 5,4,3,2,1 & it does help me when things are not going right.
Thank you Mel. I just turned 46 - never met the right guy & no kids. Have been feeling lost but trying to push myself out of it. Your video has really helped 🤍
Happy Birthday Mel!!! Thank you for always been authentic and real. Good luck in your journey and dreaming of your future, but most of all I know you’ll be able take the action you need to build that future. Thank you for always been inspiring to me, what you said resonated with me so much. I am also ready to do the same for me. Sending you good vibes and positivity.
OMG Mel!!! Happy birthday!! This video really helped me today as I’m feeling pretty lost and defeated as well, just in a different aspect. Thank you for your vulnerability!! It’s so appreciated ❤️ you are an amazing inspiration to me, keep going and I can’t wait to see what you bring into the future because I know it will be nothing less than fantastic! 💪 you got this!
I recently just discovered you (I guess I've been living under a rock) and you inspire me. This video just showed me a side of you I didn't know and I love you more for it than ever before. You may not think it is inspiring but you will be surprised how much this helps us. We are all in some way feeling what you are feeling, especially in these trying times. I also feel lost and trying to find my new life. I wish you the best while you fill your blank page with your new goals. You will come out of this on the other side shining brighter than ever. Happy Belated Birthday!
I really appreciate to see that someone who outwardly is very successful still has mental blocks to move through each day. This video is very inspirational.
Happy Birthday My Sweet Friend! When I meet you, I am going to hug you and tell you in a way that you know to your core..... YOU ARE SOOOO LOVED BY MANY, MANY, PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY ME! So, my birthday wish for you is.... that you understand, know and feel this love today and everyday!💋🤗💟
So very true. I’m coming up 52 and going through end of one life and into the next and you hit the nail on the head, interestingly only yesterday I made decisions for my future because I realised I was uncomfortable in limbo even though it may all fail I atleast feel like I have a new purpose and plan of action and routine. Thank you x Happy Birthday 🎂
"How you're feeling right now is a function of what you see in the future." That sentence probably just changed my life. I see myself as a thriving painter in the future and that makes me happy so my new feeling....is happy. Thanks for that and welcome to club 52. Glad to have a new member.
I just joined the 52 club too. I feel great, as it is the first time for the last about 30 years I put my needs first. I strongly recomend healthy EGOISM as soon as your childrem are growups. Maybe I should put myself first for last decades too, but I was just a caring mother, overcaring probably. I can see my children started to accept that I havey my life, my plans. It is my time now. This is kind of reward from me for me. Happy next year for 52 Club members!
Happy Birthday Mel! I wish I could tell you how much you’ve helped me...despite your losses you’ve helped me gain. I hope you find comfort in knowing how much your story helps me almost daily, I tell stories about you like we’re actually friends. You’re the one that encourages me more than my circle. I’m sending a big hug to you..and we will talk about it all when we get back to normal. And we will...🍷
Happy Birthday! A long time ago someone reminded me of what a birthday is: remembering what a good day it was, when you were born and came to be and brought joy to our lives. Thank you for being you, Mel.
Mel, everything you have done to help others isn’t lost in this one moment. Your talks and tv show helped millions of women to 5, 4,3,2,1 themselves into a better life. A moment of disappointment should not ease decades of personal growth and generous giving because disappointment is not devastation. You helped me transform my life, leave a city where I felt like I was drowning and face tremendous transition too. It has not been easy and it has not gone as planned but I have no regrets. You need to silence yourself and wait for the answer. Wait, it will come.
I’m 51 and honestly these have been the best stages of my life. Embraced 50 still embracing 51, and I’ll keep on embracing each year until I take my final breath. Life is overwhelming, but it sure is grand, and so beautiful
Happy Birthday! Even in talking out your own situation, you absolutely are an inspiration. Sorry about the talk show ending, but celebrate the countless viewers you helped while it lasted--many more than you will ever know.
As a woman who feels like a girl inside to a paper birth certificate says I am 66. My old life ended in 2012 with a brain hemorrhage. Suddenly I looked at forced retirement after I knew recovery looked possible. Walking changes your brain. Do it. Then as I was getting my life back in a different way, my husband accepted a job which also required selling house buying another in a different city and as i got my feet under me here, Diagnosed w Leukemia. Then Covid now has me in mostly solitary confinement of my home. You have a choice, probably more than I do. If i can push myself, you can push yourself. You will have a great adventure ahead! Happy Birthday.
Thank you all... I was not expecting your kind support, I am strong, resilient and since I found within myself I shared so others can be encouraged no matter what challenges lie ahead. We all have them! Last Saturday I ran a National Virtual 5 k... i have raced since age 50 and found i was able to compete. My time is slower now but I did it and was proud! We never know how strong we are until being strong us our only choice! Stay strong and supporrt each other! ❤️
You are not alone Mel ! I'm trying to manage the madness and the sadness in between trying to do the every day routines of life combined with the state of the world ,. It's enough to make you want to hollar ! Marvin Gaye ... Loved your video ! And we Are all in this together ! Happy belated birthday love 🌹. Be well , some one is always encouraging me ! Surely I can do the same ✌️
Yesterday was my 58th birthday. This is exactly how I feel. I loved the reminder that this is temporary because yesterday crawling into a hole forever seemed so appealing. This too shall pass. I remind myself that "As you think so shall you be" and I do not want to remain lost. 5 4 3 2 1, let's move. Happy Birthday Mel, and thank you.
Mel, when I met you, I felt your energy. You are the most positive perso I know. I believe that something extraordinary is going to come out of this. Go give Chris a big hug, move, and Happy birthday!! If nobody told you today I love you, I love you, and I know that this is temporary. 🥂🥂🥂
I feel just like you..Always been strong for my Daughter..Raised my Daughter on my own.. I’m not the strong Mom anymore.. your my Inspiration.. Love this.. 🙏 Happy Birthday girl.. we are Strong 💪
Thank you for taking the time to share honestly in the midst of your struggle and for modeling positive coping strategies. :) I hope your new 52nd year is full of unexpected joy, peace, and blessings.
I had a physician goof up a procedure on my neck 3 years ago. I lost my ability to work full time. Then covid hell hit 2020 and the isolation and fear have made me feel lost and more alone than I could imagine. I am not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel. Thank you for sharing your feelings. Between that and the amazing comments on this thread I see that I'm not alone and that maybe there could potentially be hope. I hope all of you hurting or struggling can just keep going.
Mel,Happy Birthday and I just wanted to tell you that you are such a inspiration to me,I listen to your words of wisdom all the time,thank you for your honesty always and for being you,🎻🌼💐🌸🌹🙏😊💙
You said it’s not inspiring , actually it very much is . I believe I was meant to hear this today .. having just lost my mum I feel disconnected and in limbo so all your steps resonated with me ... as I hurtle towards my 52 nd birthday ... I shall be using your advice to reset myself - thank you
Me too JO - not sue what to do anymore because I usually did things with her or for her. I'm past 52 but am still a bit numb and not able to do the reset quite yet. It's sadly comfortable to know that I'm not the only one in this boat...
So sorry to hear you both lost your mamas, the biggest gift to them would be to carry them on your hearts 💞 and enjoy your life until you’re together again. Easier said than done but she will be right by your side. Much love to you both 😘
Same. My mom just died and I had spent every day with her. I miss her so much. The hurt is overwhelming and the future feels empty right now. This video and these comments are inspiring.
Right now we absorbing so much negative energy! Indecisiveness, panic, fear, shock, real trapped negative emotions. I help people release these trapped negative emotions through energy healing. We have so much we are dealing with right now. Grounding also helps balance and raise your frequency and vibrations! Hugs Mel, Happy Birthday!😘
Happy Birthday Beautiful Soul!!!✨💖🎂 You are most definitely a huge light and love full of inspiration and hope!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your bravery and truth!!🙏💖
Someone like you being authentic and real is more inspiring than you know.
Correct!!! This IS Inspiring
Yes! I feel sad to hear you Mel,say that you feel lost.I want you to know that you have been a source of inspiration for me,and many people.I still don't understand why your show was cancelled.Can somebody explain that to me?
Exactly!!! 🌺💞
Absolutely! This was inspiring because she was vulnerable & honest
The human condition. It’s a rollercoaster
I need you. We need you. You are a survivor Mel. Your joy will come back. Sending big big hugs.
5,4,3,2,1 - you got this! I listen to almost daily to remind myself of setting goals, to remind myself to move forward with dreams. You are like listening to a mom friend. New town, small town = new connections and new experiences.
Me too, big hugs and Happy Birthday!
You have a gift your a hero for other people 😉😉😉😉😉😉😉
Hey miss you are right .we need her
Dear I wanna share with you something
And I wanna know your views . would you like to talk to me.actually I'm 19 years old . I'm confused about something .
She is a person that needs God. And she is not alone. The whole earth is groaning
Hey Mel ! I am 55 ...several years ago, I divorced after 30 years, lost all my friends had my reputation destroyed ...thought I'd lose my mind. SO...I started cycling... and grad school and therapy ....then I remarried , finished school...remarried even after thinking ..."who would ever want me?" I found a wonderful man, and then I started a business and now I think...its never too late to reinvent a new beginning. Cycling rebuilt my legs and my spirit. I can out cycle my sons and they are in their 20s. I think we are all struggling to figure out our next step...its when you stop that you truly begin to age.
Thanks for posting this. It reminds me to keep moving forward, to dream bigger and do greater things. Good luck with cycling, grad school, theraphy and i wish you a wonderful life 💜💜💯
Well yu are brillent my friend I need my self two do something iv been saying this for months a bike is the answer but don't do it then yu hav just helped me more then yu think thank yu x
Hello Lynne. Thank you for sharing your story. It is very inspiring!! I wish you all of the best for a bright and happy future.
Thank you ❤️
Thank you . I am going through a bad phase. It reminds me I can too do it
This is the best presentation you have ever done. Honest, open and a glimpse into your true self. Thank you.
You are being honest. Unlike most people.
I have felt hopeless and lost for the last two years. I am 54. Most of these two years I have woken up and cried. I am blessed with everything I have but I have demons I am fighting with internally. I do not speak to anyone about this and have been carrying this burden on my own. My point today is that I have not been able to be inspired by anyone or anything until I just witnessed your video. You have made me want to fall in love with life again. This is priceless to me and I thank you with all my heart. 💖
Just because you are in your 50's or 60s or more... and you don't inspire anyone.... doesn't means you are a failure.
Inspiring someone is NOT the goal of this life.
Living your life the best as you can, that makes you happy.... is what inspires others to be like you and to make a difference... thats what life is all about.
Look Colonel Sanders for example, he got rejected more than 900 times all of his life until his KFC restaurant succeed at the age of 73 which he became rich and successful until he passed away at the age of 93 while kFC took all over the world as we see it today. And despite of his rejections and family problems, he has lived much longer, even himself... learned how live and enjoy his life through the moments.
So.... there is no reason to be ashamed for feeling lost.
You can start something small and simple. Don't do it for success, do it because you want to enjoy life.
Is never too late.
I'm 27 years old, never had much work experiences during the past and I'm also stuck too but... after reading the book of rich dad and poor dad, my depression and anxiety is getting reduced because im finally having the answers that I been looking for and there are new open doors, that I didn't know it existed which I'm willing to try and learn much as I can.
Is never too late.
Same here. I'm 45 and this resonates.
I lost my wife at 52 a year later my life is boring and sad it could be worse but I’m not happy because I have health problems which are limiting my ability to work sad every day when I wake up I have some regrets and that the worst thing besides feeling lonely
Life is sad and seemingly pointless....I feel for you all so much, and wish that our lives would have more meaning and hope. Just remember, it's not why we are here that matters, but simply that we are , the odds that we even exist at all, are unfathomable. Each and every one of you are a miracle of the cosmos. Life seems so small sometimes , but you have no beginning or end, you are a timeless, spark of the universe, a breath from the very Creator of everything, a timeless, endless, limitless God that wants you to experience the magic of what he has made, breath it in, you are part of it all, and it only lasts for a moment, and then... zoom you return to the source, to become something new.
"The reason I feel lost is because when I look ahead I don't see anything to look forward to because I haven't created anything to look forward to." WOW! Did I ever need that one. I am grateful for that. Be well. Thank you.
i feel the same way since covid hit us! i'm usually a planner but not anymore.i live one day at a time
That’s IT! Wow one sentence just changed my whole perspective. Thank you!
@@kontrop6339 ,me too😔🤦🏾♀️
Thank you. Aha moment!
Same!!! And her talking about life looking like a blank white piece of paper, ive been saying those exact words!!! Recieved insight from her and personally, thanks Mel!!!
I'm not your usual subscriber. I am a 63 year old Puerto Rican male who hates jumping out of bed in the morning. And while I don't always agree with some of your opinions, I do appreciate your passion and commitment. I shall continue to follow you. You're a true inspiration.
Happy birthday to one of the most inspirational women on earth. I think we all feel lost sometimes, but we push on and find the good ♥️ Thank you for being you.
Thank you for allowing us to see you in a valley. Most powerful people and leaders only allow followers to see them on a high! This reminds me of how human and real you are. I absolutely love you and I love what you stand for! Very Happy Birthday to you!!!😘🙏
Agreed! 💯
Yes yes yes agreed!!!
@kevin w well, trump is self centred too! He is a narcissist!
@kevin w and whatever you are doing is called “toxic positivity”
Maybe it is a little bit egoistic but i feel better when i know that i am not alone. Knowing that there are other people who don't have their lives figured out clams me especially when they are successful and wise like Mel! Happy birthday Mell! Keep inspiring! ❤️
Classy entrepreneurss - Shule Yashar I get this. I think it helps us to feel that we are not alone or nuts for feeling the way we do. I’ve been going through some hard things all alone and while I know I’m strong, it does help me feel not so alone when I hear Mel talk about this. It helps me and all of us and it’s hopeful. We keep moving forward. Not easy but talking helps.
I think the thing about it is that we know that we are understoodand somewhere deep inside if someone else can understand us then we can be understanding towards yourself a little more and be a little easier on ourselves and not so critical and thus it helps us feel more at ease, clear-minded and gives us a better perspectives and all just because someone else has gone through the same thing and they understand. 🙏
@@clarissamck Can't agree more! Well said. "Misery loves company"... It feels inspiring and gives you courage when you see that there are people who deal with worse things and still do good. It gives you hope. :)
@@wiseforce7045 The fact that someone else is going through this gives us hope and power to fight as well. :)
@@SY-sp8uo I am a writer with steady writing success, but all other areas of my life is very painful. I had two narc parents that never cared about me and died leaving a way to spit in my face as hard as they could all while others stood by and got nothing but love from them and left for them. I was used and thrown away by my family and I am always alone, almost all day, and I have nothing but writing, yeah I am a successful writer but I am living with serious health problems and the fact that everyone I ever loved only saw me as a tool. You are not alone.
This has potentially saved me!!! I found this today and I am 62 and feeling the same way. But you talk about old and new life. That was a wake up call for me because I have not excepted the new life and that’s what I and gonna do from now on! Thank you.
Human beings have the capacity to be most inspiring when we are on our knees. I believe this is a God given quality. It reminds us that we don’t have all of the answers, that something bigger is at work and that all we have to do is keep showing up.
Great photo, countenance, and name, Tony Derbyshire. Permit me, however, to share one of David Icke's book titles with you: HUMAN RACE, GET UP OFF YOUR KNEES; THE LION SLEEPS NO MORE. We are NOW in The GREAT AWAKENING, when, day by day, we hav opportunity to discover "that something BIGGER is at work"... showing UP, as in BEing PRESENT is Key, and so is LOVING TRUTH, for finding Divine Guidance, one's OWN Truth, included. All the BEST to you, et al. SUgee, woodlawnmermaid@hughes.net
Thanks. I'll look into this book.@@goldenyelobird9501
Tony you said something incredible “ when we are on our knees, “ human have the capacity to be the most inspiring “ a given quality “ This is why we Muslim kneel down when we praying it 🧎♀️it bring unexplainable relief of any stress and brings tranquility. Indeed it’s god way of talking to us when we submit to him on our knees
Mel .. try to focus only on the things you feel grateful for . Your health . Your freedom . The sunshine . 🙏🏼💖
Happy Birthday Mel! You have inspired me so much starting with Mindset Reset. I was 65 , retired and thanks to you lost 55 pounds, went back to college to get a degree, and took chances I NEVER would have taken. I was lost too before I found you! My heart aches that you find yourself like this. Maybe you need to do another Mindset Reset Series. I'm sure we could all use it during this gigantic shift in our lives called CoVID.
Cynthia Garneau well done and you are brave! 🦋
Happy Birthday Mel! You are an incredible contribution and there is so much life left - and in case nobody tells you - I love you and I am definitely rooting for you! Happy Birthday!🎂
thank you
Don't sell your 20-year home. Rent it out. Your son isn't going to be home much longer... keep your options open! ❤🌅🌵😷
don't move. keep options open❤️
Yessss
Renting is a good idea... But if you do, treat it like a business and get the right, qualified tenant in from the get go.
Tge market will crash in 6 months housing will loose 50% of its value. Selling now would be very wise
@@nicholasmorello6370 Are you Nostradamus?
What I love about Mel is she is not afraid to speak her mind, be vulnerable. She is honest with herself and her viewers!
Indeed!! One of the best people to guide us all in difficult times, she's a very smart lady!!
Happy birthday hon your a strong women your in our prayers. Getting older we feel like we haven't done everything we need too. Being overwhelmed is normal exercise is great. Flowers journaling all good. Take care of you today you deserve it.
Aaw Mel! Happy Blessed Birthday! I feel your pain as I turned 50 this year and felt like for all that I've done in life, I had nothing to show for it. I was feeling the same way you are on yesterday but a friend encouraged me to go workout. Then I ate a whole bag of gummy bears. That made me happy😁 and then I wrote down all my big goals and shared it with a friend so I continue to keep my dreams alive.
Donna! Your comment made me happy. I hope you have a beautiful day 🖤
Hey darlin' .. I'm about to turn 72, but I can vividly remember when I had just turned 50 and feeling lost that an 80 year old patient of mine having the same birthdate as myself reminded me that I had just started out in life. 'Why, you're just a baby' she scolded. 21 years later I can now look back on what she meant so when I get that feeling of not being relevant anymore, I allow myself to live in the absolute PRESENT and let the universe unfold as it will. Good, bad or indifferent. You're on the right track for sure. What about documenting your new environment (Vermont!) in the form of pictures and stories? I, for one, would LOVE to visit New England during the changing of the seasons. Maybe YOU will be the one to provide these endearing events for us. Good luck in your journey through life Mel. Why, you're just a baby! 💖
💖
I ❤️ this!!

"The reason I feel lost is because when I look ahead I don't see anything to look forward to because I haven't created anything to look forward to." That is the word! That totally landed!
Spend time alone thinking, introspecting and self talk on empowering questions. 10 to 30 minutes daily will give you to boost on what to look ahead for. Remember silence and solitude are great enablers of suitable environment.
Jesus changed my life for good. He loves you🙏🙏
We have to also keep in mind that this year has been very hard for everyone and there has been a lot of lost lives and those things affects us all
Wow HAPPY BIRTHDAY MEL, to anyone reading this and you look up to Mel remember that we all go through a strange crisis, none of us are perfect at all. I always say in my videos to just do the best with what you have 💯 stop for a second and just be grateful for how far you have come and where you are at this current moment
Happy birthday 🙏🎂🥂😷
Thanks for sharing Mel! These times are strange and challenging. It’s going to require some strength to get through it.
Hello there .... I am Manir, I live in Africa. And you have genuinely inspired my life. Thanks alot.
This was why I love you so much - you’re real and so relatable - this is why you’ll always be a success in your field - you are REAL and RELATABLE!! Means so much in such a filtered world. I know you will pull through this and you will go on to inspire and help others - to be able to do that whilst going through your own pain is just beautiful. Thank you Mel and thank you for being truthful ❤️Happy Birthday Mel xxx
Truth! In this fake would we need some real and beautiful people like Mel
Mel, I'm 27 and I'm exactly where you are. I can honestly say I've cried like this every day this week and it's not even Wednesday yet. Even just seeing another woman express this with helped me so much. Your video helped me just get through the day and feel slightly less lonely. It was so moving and honest, which is wonderfully refreshing given that most self help content resorts to false positivity. They don't recognise the value in feeling negative emotions, in order heal or process pain. So now allow yourself that time to feel it all, even if you have to cut back on content. Think of it as putting your own air mask first type scenario. You have the other tools already, you just need to pause and then move forward. Hugs from the UK
This is really a fantastic response. So authentic. Sometimes we just feel what we feel and sharing what we truly feel can be very therapeutic. Hope your day goes better. 😘
(with your permission Katherine...) *virtual bear-hug* (cos we all just need a hug sometimes, to know that we're not alone in this....)
Hey Mel, I honestly love how you show the whole world you are human too!
And you face problems just like everyone else ❤️❤️❤️ Happy birthday and more Power to you 🍾
Where there is pain there is growth ❤️
@mel Robbins today I listened to this video after listening to your first podcast that references this video. I am that 52 yo. My 52nd birthday was in September and it was the first birthday I have spent alone. My friends were too busy, too tired, my son is away at school, my parents are gone and I had a bad breakup this year. I want to thank you. Thank you for being real. I made my wish today, went for a walk, and life starts anew today. Thank you again from the bottom of my heart. I now know that I am not alone.
Mel Robbins you are a beautiful human being. Celebrating a person who is a gift to all mankind. Happy ‘Birth’ Day! 🤗 Thank you, thank you, thank you.❤️
You're a beautiful soul and you still have another 50 left in you. The change is going to happen, what matters is adapting fluidly to the situation. Yes new things can be scary. Focus on keeping moving forward. You are not your current circumstances. Know that fear can be extremely positive once you learn to recognize it as opportunity. Find your long term goals again, Jordan Petersons self authoring is powerful. You inspire others, let others inspire you.
You inspired me when I was low. If courage is moving from thought to action, then inspiration is moving from mourning to reframing a new dream. You are helping on a deep level to others. Maybe grow and mentor others, similar to Dave Ramsey’s model. Don’t feel like you have to do it all alone. Honestly talk shows are probably dying, podcasts all the way! You are great I’m excited to continue following your journey!
Thanks for your honesty.
Wait till you're 63 .
Everything you say is correct.
Life does not get easier.
Be strong.
Mel. You have NO idea how i needed to hear this RIGHT NOW. No idea. Know that even in your struggles, you inspire. Your raw honesty has literally saved me this evening. Thank you.
Mel honestly you are amazing and authentic and to be honest I respect you more today then I ever have and I feel closer to you!!!! Your everything even in this “paused” moment ❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for being raw
Happy birthday 🎉 you beautiful, loving, wise soul!!! I wish you the best birthday 🎂 month! Enjoy my friend! You have been a positive, guiding force for us out here during these dark times!
You and all of us will be fine! It’s been a hell of year & we will get through this together! Bless you Mel and thank you 🙏 for all your positivity & awesome information! Sending you mucho Love ❤️, positive vibes and best wished! Much love to you and the familia! 😘
Yes!!!
In a world that tells us we have to be positive all the time and show everyone everything is wonderful and perfect this is needed. Oh and happy birthday 🎂 🥳.
You bet,I agree with you.But sometimes, Truth is the truth, we need to face and tell all the real happening bravely ,and ask yourself how about your feeling now, don't pretend to feel everything is fine, after all ,life is not always care about our true feeling.Have a good one.
When you're given a death sentence,- a year to live- stage 4 cancer- you learn to hold on to this moment only.
To appreciate what you do have, what you can do, and move on!
Healthy New Year!
💜
Best wishes
Wishing you a quick recovery!
Hi there Diane. How are you feeling today?
Hi Diane, if you need someone to talk to, other than your usual friends and family, then consider me. i can empathise, i am just a bit younger than yourself, but had a cancer scare earlier this yr, i used to be a nurse and i can only imagine how difficult things must be. i am finding this covid business very stressful personally. hope you have a good day!
Wow and we think the post is brave .!!!!!!!........so are you, I know brave isnt the right word but I think standing and admitting to the world your cancer is brave positive thoughts and health sent you way x hugs x
Happy 52. and best wishes for you from Germany, 💐💚Mel
Mel, I see your experiences as the end of identities that no longer serve you, and that is amazing because something else will come to you. I wish you all your heart desires manifest and welcomes the unknown. Much Love.
This message is VERY INSPIRING! Thank you! ♥️👍🏻
Happy Birthday Mel, from S Africa! That was quite profound and a little sad. Be happy that you have your husband and children and treasure that. I lost my 15yr old son and then my 18 yr old daughter and husband within a week of eachother. You have given me inspiration in the past. Now I have got my life together (apart from dozens of boxes of papers that are overwhelming), have lost 37kgs (81lbs) and have several trips planned to Europe next year (covid permitting). Turning 72 in December and determined to squeeze in as much as I can, while I can. Vermont magic in the fall is on my bucket list. Good luck with the move, a new chapter in your book of life. x
Happy birthday Mel! Wishing you and everyone reading this love and light. Stay blessed!
Oh Mel, I understand the lost feeling. Oct 6 My husband and I were moving to an Adult Community because we were downsizing from our home of 17 years. 2-1/2 years ago he got Vascular Dementia and I have been his 100% caregiver - which was my honor and pleasure to care for him. We were married 45 wonderful full of love years. October 5 the day before we were to move he passed away and my world turned upside down like yours. Now I have this other house, where everything is different, new area, new town and no husband. boxes are piled up in my old home and I am suppose to move on Thursday. I have to keep going because I don't need or want to have the cost of 2 homes obviously - and now I have to move there without him! I am going to handle my situation - one box at a time. I feel like I am arranging this new home for someone else, it doesn't feel real. And I miss him sooooo bad , I ache. I cry. I feel empty. And yet life went on, it's been a week, I got thru a week, By God's Grace, family and friends helping me be strong. I promised him I would be. So see, will get thru this holding each other up and learning I am sure some lesson so we can help others!
Hugs to you!
Praying for you!
😌 You are so blessed. I’ve read several comments on posts about narcissists that are truly scary. A lot of people have been married 20, 30, 40 years, and it’s been pure hell for them. Take things one day at a time, and remind yourself of how lucky you were to have had the man and marriage you had. Take care. 👋🏾
This post hurt. You have my deepest condolences and I hope you are able to find new friends in your new place of living.
Your comment and story is very touching. Sending you love and unexpected beauty along your journey. God bless you. 💕🙏💫
Mel, you literally changed my life when I saw your comment on “what would you do if money wasn’t an issue?” I followed my nose and now I work in disability and I love it more than anything I’ve done before. Thank you!
I said a prayer for you, and all the people that are out there feeling like you described, including my self. Thanks for sharing that with us.
Prayers for you too , Thank you ❤
Mel, I'm 62. 10 years older than you. I'll be 63 next month. This year I had to move out of my forever home in Whitehall Michigan. I saw you had visited the Red Rooster this past summer. My 44 year hair career ended. My daughter delivered her sweet baby boy 7 weeks early. My son's cancer in his colon has spread to his liver.
I've moved near my daughter, far away from my friends and family.
Thank you for your message today.
I choose to dream BIG!
"I feel stuck between two lives right now"
God I can relate so much to this and everything you said directly after that.
Me as well 🙏
Me too! :/
I think that now we all can relate more than ever
Thank you. I watched this and went for a nature walk. It's okay to be sad or feel a bit lost sometimes, it's all part of being human.
Mel we love you
Your future starts tomorrow
Remember that HIS plans are better than yours
We love you, strapped up or stripped down!! We will get through this!!! Envision your future!!! Happy Birthday!💞💞💞
YES. WE’RE HERE FOR YOU. YOU CAN DO IT.
You have helped millions of people including me. I’m so sorry you r feelin this way. We all love you and have nothing but hope for happiness and optimism for your future.
Happy Birthday. Thank you for being so honest with us. I love this about you. I know you will figure this out and inspire us along the way. *huge hugs* crying is aloud. Please know you are very loved.
Remember that your "bad days" are what some people wish for as "good days".
Wow! What a channel. I just accidentally stumbled across you, and I'm thankful🌹.
So did I
“Yet to create”...how exciting these words sound! Mel, take the paintbrush and choose favourite colours! Happy birthday from Ireland! Smile ☺️ You have a choice what picture to draw, what future to create! 🥰🌸🎂☀️ 🤗
Happy birthday, Mel!
This time IS challenging, isn’t it?! It’s rocking all of us. Your business challenge has got to be devastating for you. Needing to move for your son is part of a parent’s job, yet it is one of the biggest stressors for most people.
Good for you for following your steps. They’ll be useful for many of us.
I just turned 78 almost 10 days ago. Very quiet, with no one with me but my dog. Thanks goodness for phone calls from friends and family!
Blessings for helping you AND us out of the morass of dark feelings! Much love. ❤️
Happy Birthday Mel! I love your authenticity and even if it didnt feel like it, this was incredibly inspiring! Hit the nail on the head for exactly what I needed today. Sending you love and hugs and I am going to go and write down some big dreams...
I was hesitating to watch this because of the title. I'm glad that I actually watched. Thank you for being real, vulnerable and honest. Especially for the self awareness. Blessings to you.
Today is my mom's 50th birthday..
She lives in Portugal and I'm in Germany.
I just became homeless and completely broke and in depth.
Luckily I can live in a friends house.
Unfortunately I couldn't visit my mom.. it's her first birthday without me...
Worst is that she doesn't even know about my situation..
I too feel lost ..
But writing down my thoughts helps me out.
Following my intuition and talking to God helps me a lot.
I'm still grateful for all the experiences I learned over the last years especially this year.
I'm sure that you're lost temporarily Mel and that you'll find yourself and your way to a new and bright future.
Happy birthday ☺️
Keep going, you sound so positive and a joy to be around :)
Hello! I hope that you will feel better soon ☺️ I say a prayer for you 🙏🏻
You to are amazing. God bless you 🙏
So sorry you are going through such a time..you are taking steps to action a positive movement though and that in itself is a huge thing! Be proud of that and remember..there is only one way to go when you hit this stage..upwards! You will do well. You will be successful. You will be happier. Wishing you well ❤️
You're not alone! I'm in a very similar situation, but it helped me to read your message and to hear of your strength! Keep pushing forward, you just inspired me and made me feel less alone!
1. Happy belated birthday
2. This is a different season for everyone’s lives. I’m a childless widow who was caregiver for her parents until they each passed. I’m in the process of discovering my own life at the age of 54. Each loss has meant a new normal for me and I am discovering a new voice for myself in my new normal.

"This is temporary, this is temporary, this is temporary, this is temporary, this is temporary,..." Thanks for sharing!
I think I need to write that on my inspiration board today.
Peace
You said this wasnt an inspiring message. But it was sooooo inspiring. Thank you for being you.
Not to minimize your situation but I think everyone is dealing with these things right now. For example, I live alone and I have been working from home since March and we were told recently we are going to be working remote from now on- permanently. As much as I enjoy working from home a few days a week and how grateful I am to be working - the idea of working alone all day, every day and coupled with being isolated because of the pandemic I want to cry. But I just try to tell myself THIS isn’t forever. That’s as much as I can dream right now. Happy Birthday 😊
I feel you
Paula - thanks.. you too!

You are now in a perfect position to go back and listen to some of your talks. Because you’re in the exact mindset of the folks who are listening to your talks. What an interesting perspective, what a gift, actually. You can put it to use. You can be in the same mindset of those who you’re speaking to.
God love you, Mel. I’m sorry this is your tough chapter. Everyone gets a shake at it, and it totally sucks! You know it’s going to be OK in your gut, it’s just hard going through the day to day. I’m sending you a million well wishes, because that energy really works!
I’m writing a Keto cookbook/lookbook as a complement to my foodie blog. (Yep, It’s Keto). I’ll collaborate on a project with you today. I know your work, and I know your worth. You are a true asset, MeL. Consider this your first offer post-birthday. 😉. (Not kidding. Robin@YepItsKeto.com.)
By the way, we are exactly 2 months apart in age. 💪🏽
Great point
YOU have no idea how many of us you have inspired! God BLESS you. You are AMAZING.
Oh Mel Happy Birthday! We must count our Blessings... Your a survivor look forward to your future!!!
I am so grateful you can articulate a strategy!!!
Thank you for sharing
"One pulls the arrow backwards before releasing it into new hights." I don't know who said it, but it helped me in such situations before, so I hope it helps you, too. Sending you love ❤️
Mel, go change that black jumper for something bright.
Girl, did we forget to tell you, you are a global phenomena? That's right, global. Too big for national TV. TV is old school anyways.
You have given us love support when it was sorely needed.
I am one of your 1000 true fans. Loving your new audible podcast.
Ps I am on a 'sabbatical' to do the same. Dreaming big. Have projects etc. My new word is Create.
Happy birthday Mel! We do love you. For real xxx
All the way from deepest darkest Africa (South Africa)
Another South African fan!
I hope you had a Happy Birthday and like the pheonix you will rise!! I just turned 70 and I am determined to reach my goals and dreams and you are helping me get there. I love you Mel and thank you for your honesty.
Oh Mel you're breaking my heart. I haven't met you but it feels very much like you're a friend to me already, because you helped me find ways to overcome my own demons, and so I really hate to see you hurt. I wish you a very Happy Birthday anyway, so please receive this wish tomorrow as a new beginning if it helps, and let's morally support one another and find some ways to overcome the sense of overwhelm and loss that is only natural this year. Let's make our lives what we want them to be no matter what. I personally try sisu, the Finnish grit. Big friendly hug and also to the lovely cutie-kitty.
All this means is that you’re human. We can’t always be the superwoman we want to be for ourselves and for our family. This year has been challenging to say the least. It’s put a lot of us in a place we didn’t think we’d be. Set backs and tremendous changes have set the tone this year. But I know for certain you have risen out of that dark place and you will again. Thank you for being a continuous inspiration. You rock 😘
Thank you, I couldn't have
Said that better!!!
I respect you coming out and being so honest to us individuals. This is a great message for all to take in and interpret to benefit ourselves. Don't look to far forward sweetheart and just be in your own moment.. We all feel these emotions, your no exception. Don't beat yourself up and get moving lady.
Dear Mel, you spoke about creating a future to inspire yourself. How about think this as a pause to enjoy only the present, as Eckart Tolle said, the power of now. Everything you have now in your hands to be greatful for. Being resilient. Hugs.
Your honesty is inspiring. Everyone feels that way, but the difficult part is admiting
It just goes to show that even someone with all of the knowledge still goes through ups and downs and you must adapt and react to what life throws at you. Thank you Mel, keep your chin up
When I’m stuck because I’m feeling like a procrastinating-perfectionist, I think about you and how you said just do one thing today that moves you forward in your goal. Just one thing. You inspire and are in the minds of people you’ve never met. Just remember how much you’ve done to help people. You really are in my mind when I need help getting over myself.
True she is in the minds of people she has never met! Sometimes I think about her countdown she talked about many times which is 5,4,3,2,1 & it does help me when things are not going right.
Yep. Doing one thing and accomplishing it for even 10 minutes a day can help you keep moving forward.
Thank you Mel. I just turned 46 - never met the right guy & no kids. Have been feeling lost but trying to push myself out of it. Your video has really helped 🤍
Happy Birthday Mel!!! Thank you for always been authentic and real. Good luck in your journey and dreaming of your future, but most of all I know you’ll be able take the action you need to build that future. Thank you for always been inspiring to me, what you said resonated with me so much. I am also ready to do the same for me. Sending you good vibes and positivity.
♥️♥️♥️
OMG Mel!!! Happy birthday!! This video really helped me today as I’m feeling pretty lost and defeated as well, just in a different aspect. Thank you for your vulnerability!! It’s so appreciated ❤️ you are an amazing inspiration to me, keep going and I can’t wait to see what you bring into the future because I know it will be nothing less than fantastic! 💪 you got this!
I recently just discovered you (I guess I've been living under a rock) and you inspire me. This video just showed me a side of you I didn't know and I love you more for it than ever before. You may not think it is inspiring but you will be surprised how much this helps us. We are all in some way feeling what you are feeling, especially in these trying times. I also feel lost and trying to find my new life. I wish you the best while you fill your blank page with your new goals. You will come out of this on the other side shining brighter than ever. Happy Belated Birthday!

I really appreciate to see that someone who outwardly is very successful still has mental blocks to move through each day. This video is very inspirational.
Happy Birthday My Sweet Friend! When I meet you, I am going to hug you and tell you in a way that you know to your core..... YOU ARE SOOOO LOVED BY MANY, MANY, PEOPLE! ESPECIALLY ME! So, my birthday wish for you is.... that you understand, know and feel this love today and everyday!💋🤗💟
Everyone is going through hard times. Start up again. And Happy Birthday. I just got up from months of depression.
So very true. I’m coming up 52 and going through end of one life and into the next and you hit the nail on the head, interestingly only yesterday I made decisions for my future because I realised I was uncomfortable in limbo even though it may all fail I atleast feel like I have a new purpose and plan of action and routine. Thank you x Happy Birthday 🎂
Best of luck Cheryl! 💚
Sonja Gatto Thank you x
"How you're feeling right now is a function of what you see in the future." That sentence probably just changed my life. I see myself as a thriving painter in the future and that makes me happy so my new feeling....is happy. Thanks for that and welcome to club 52. Glad to have a new member.
I just joined the 52 club too. I feel great, as it is the first time for the last about 30 years I put my needs first. I strongly recomend healthy EGOISM as soon as your childrem are growups. Maybe I should put myself first for last decades too, but I was just a caring mother, overcaring probably. I can see my children started to accept that I havey my life, my plans. It is my time now. This is kind of reward from me for me. Happy next year for 52 Club members!
Yes, me too!!
I have no clue what that sentence means. What does “what you’re feeling now is a function of what you see in the future” even mean?????
Happy Birthday Mel! I wish I could tell you how much you’ve helped me...despite your losses you’ve helped me gain. I hope you find comfort in knowing how much your story helps me almost daily, I tell stories about you like we’re actually friends. You’re the one that encourages me more than my circle. I’m sending a big hug to you..and we will talk about it all when we get back to normal. And we will...🍷
Happy Birthday! A long time ago someone reminded me of what a birthday is: remembering what a good day it was, when you were born and came to be and brought joy to our lives. Thank you for being you, Mel.
Mel, everything you have done to help others isn’t lost in this one moment. Your talks and tv show helped millions of women to 5, 4,3,2,1 themselves into a better life. A moment of disappointment should not ease decades of personal growth and generous giving because disappointment is not devastation. You helped me transform my life, leave a city where I felt like I was drowning and face tremendous transition too. It has not been easy and it has not gone as planned but I have no regrets. You need to silence yourself and wait for the answer. Wait, it will come.
I’m 51 and honestly these have been the best stages of my life. Embraced 50 still embracing 51, and I’ll keep on embracing each year until I take my final breath. Life is overwhelming, but it sure is grand, and so beautiful
It's always inspiring to listen to your words, Mel! Happy birthday!
Happy Birthday! Even in talking out your own situation, you absolutely are an inspiration. Sorry about the talk show ending, but celebrate the countless viewers you helped while it lasted--many more than you will ever know.
As a woman who feels like a girl inside to a paper birth certificate says I am 66. My old life ended in 2012 with a brain hemorrhage. Suddenly I looked at forced retirement after I knew recovery looked possible. Walking changes your brain. Do it. Then as I was getting my life back in a different way, my husband accepted a job which also required selling house buying another in a different city and as i got my feet under me here, Diagnosed w Leukemia. Then Covid now has me in mostly solitary confinement of my home. You have a choice, probably more than I do. If i can push myself, you can push yourself. You will have a great adventure ahead! Happy Birthday.
Our prayers go to you as well, take care and stY strong!
God bless you
Thank you all... I was not expecting your kind support, I am strong, resilient and since I found within myself I shared so others can be encouraged no matter what challenges lie ahead. We all have them! Last Saturday I ran a National Virtual 5 k... i have raced since age 50 and found i was able to compete. My time is slower now but I did it and was proud! We never know how strong we are until being strong us our only choice! Stay strong and supporrt each other! ❤️
Kathleen Sueoka
With you 100%
You are not alone Mel ! I'm trying to manage the madness and the sadness in between trying to do the every day routines of life combined with the state of the world ,. It's enough to make you want to hollar ! Marvin Gaye ... Loved your video ! And we Are all in this together ! Happy belated birthday love 🌹. Be well , some one is always encouraging me ! Surely I can do the same ✌️
Now this is the good stuff. Thanks for recording yourself during your hard times, this is what defines us.
Yesterday was my 58th birthday. This is exactly how I feel. I loved the reminder that this is temporary because yesterday crawling into a hole forever seemed so appealing. This too shall pass. I remind myself that "As you think so shall you be" and I do not want to remain lost. 5 4 3 2 1, let's move. Happy Birthday Mel, and thank you.
Mel, when I met you, I felt your energy. You are the most positive perso I know. I believe that something extraordinary is going to come out of this. Go give Chris a big hug, move, and Happy birthday!! If nobody told you today I love you, I love you, and I know that this is temporary. 🥂🥂🥂
I feel just like you..Always been strong for my Daughter..Raised my Daughter on my own.. I’m not the strong Mom anymore.. your my Inspiration.. Love this.. 🙏 Happy Birthday girl.. we are Strong 💪
Thank you for taking the time to share honestly in the midst of your struggle and for modeling positive coping strategies. :) I hope your new 52nd year is full of unexpected joy, peace, and blessings.
I had a physician goof up a procedure on my neck 3 years ago. I lost my ability to work full time. Then covid hell hit 2020 and the isolation and fear have made me feel lost and more alone than I could imagine. I am not seeing a light at the end of the tunnel.
Thank you for sharing your feelings. Between that and the amazing comments on this thread I see that I'm not alone and that maybe there could potentially be hope. I hope all of you hurting or struggling can just keep going.
Mel,Happy Birthday and I just wanted to tell you that you are such a inspiration to me,I listen to your words of wisdom all the time,thank you for your honesty always and for being you,🎻🌼💐🌸🌹🙏😊💙
❤️
You said it’s not inspiring , actually it very much is . I believe I was meant to hear this today .. having just lost my mum I feel disconnected and in limbo so all your steps resonated with me ... as I hurtle towards my 52 nd birthday ... I shall be using your advice to reset myself - thank you
Me too JO - not sue what to do anymore because I usually did things with her or for her. I'm past 52 but am still a bit numb and not able to do the reset quite yet. It's sadly comfortable to know that I'm not the only one in this boat...
So sorry to hear you both lost your mamas, the biggest gift to them would be to carry them on your hearts 💞 and enjoy your life until you’re together again. Easier said than done but she will be right by your side. Much love to you both 😘
Agreed. It is inspiring!!
Same. My mom just died and I had spent every day with her. I miss her so much. The hurt is overwhelming and the future feels empty right now. This video and these comments are inspiring.
How do you feel about Abraham hicks? Or purchasing online webinars or courses during corona?
Right now we absorbing so much negative energy! Indecisiveness, panic, fear, shock, real trapped negative emotions. I help people release these trapped negative emotions through energy healing. We have so much we are dealing with right now. Grounding also helps balance and raise your frequency and vibrations! Hugs Mel, Happy Birthday!😘
Happy Birthday Beautiful Soul!!!✨💖🎂
You are most definitely a huge light and love full of inspiration and hope!!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you for your bravery and truth!!🙏💖
