I am 47 years old from Australia and last year ended with me feeling like a complete failure UNTIL I looked over the last decade of my life. Although I started the year the way I began it - no job, no income, very few friends, bad health & no idea what I was going to do with my life, I realise that I did hold a successful job that I was bloody good at for 10 years. I divorced a loser and found the love of my life. I watched both my children graduate school AND gain degrees. I got my own degree! I watched my son marry his dream girl. And I started my own business. Now looking forward - my dream(s) for the next decade are to become a well recognised podcast host and personality as an advocate for family & domestic abuse, to build my dream house on the beach front, to earn a living of over $200,000 each year. This decade I will be turning 50 so I feel this should definitely be my best decade ever! I've earned it!!!
That's the attitude! Go for it!
woow, what an amazing decade you had. Congrats on that! It's very important to reflect back and celebrate & integrate all the wins. It seems like you did! I wish you all the best, lots of happiness, success and health! :)
wow, you cheered me up~
That is a fantastic decade
@@gamefiplayer So happy I could cheer you up. :)
I put my music career on hold for 25 years, so I could be a good father and husband.
I didn’t want to be an absentee father. (touring)
I am now 56 years old.
Now my children are grown and my youngest daughter is now in art school.
I am ready to finally follow my own dreams! ❤️🎵
XO
This is so inspiring, its all about you now!

I am 15 years old, and I have lived in the same, small Texas my whole life. Looking at this past year, I can't help but feel like I didn't reach my goals because I was too passive, and I let my family get in the way. Don't get me wrong, they love me, but they don't understand me. I've been unhealthy my whole life, my whole family has, and I wanted 2019 to be the year that changed. There were complications though, my parents got divorced, I had an identity crisis, and I started to feel depressed. Thankfully, I am doing a lot better now, and have even lost 30 lb since July. I'm still not healthy, and there were other dreams of mine that I am yet to achieve, but I really want this new decade to be the dawning of a new period of my life. I'm going to graduate high school, start college, probably get my first partner, and so much more this decade. I really hope this course gives me the tools I need to expand and pursue my dreams.
I'm about to sign up for the course, see y'all there.
I am nearly at my mid thirties and I feel so very amazed that a young person like you is among us, l wish l had found such a big opportunity when l was your age but it's never too late to stand up for myself and so should you, l wish you all the best luck in the future 💕😍
I'm also 15 and I definitely know what it feels like when no one understands you and my family's even not cooperating with my dreams 😔
I will be 79 tomorrow and I'm busy applying for executive jobs! I believe I have a lot to offer as a professional nonprofitt executive. My big dream is to be KNOWN as an expert in nonprofit management and that I am well compensated for my skills and talents.
Anyone else's brain ticking over 500 miles an hour today? I've already written down my dreams for today but the more I think about it, the more come to me. I'm really beginning to dream bigger than I ever thought I would......and this is only day 1!!!
Hi Mel! I just started the program, and the part in this where you say “Of course you could! Why not you?” Really touched me. I spent 5 years in a relationship with someone who made my dreams small, and told me I couldn’t achieve the big things and continuously told me I wasn’t good enough. I heard “No” a lot.
When you said “Of Course you could! Why not you?” It really touched me deeply, because it’s exactly what I needed to hear.
I’m excited to learn how to dream big again, and to continue to follow my passions in life. Thanks for being you!
Thank you for You Mel and your love to help others... At 52 I never thought this is where I would end up... The Dream for 2020 is to be a New Man, Using the power we are all gifted with, Creating music to help others in ridding of Fear and Anxiety allowing in the healing vibrations enabling Manifestation...
Jerry A. Peraza 👏👏👏👏😊
Good stuff. Music always helps me whenever I'm down....work on it and help people like me please....
@@garytaylor5935 Yes music is powerful and has helped me through the toughest times.... Music Medicine is already completed and available at perazapro.com
I'm a week behind and did my 5 second rule to jump on today and not let anything or anyone interrupt me from getting started. So today is my day and can't wait to start
The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams -Eleanor Roosevelt. Happy dreaming this week all!

I am turning 62 in a few days. I'm starting on my own after the death of my husband in 1017. I am preparing my current home for sale and having to remodel it on my own and on a budget. I have been exhausted lately from working 10 to 15 hour days. Dealing with my 45 yrs. old son, his wife and their 3 children ( long story). I have not been able to fulfill my ongoing dreams since I was 15 yrs. old. The "no you can't" factor. I've been limited in my success due to my Mother and choice of husband for the last 44 yrs. before his passing. But After seeing other dreams I think I need 10 dreams. So I added onto my 5 I wrote.
Love your clarity! Go ahead and crush 2020!
Thank you for reminding me how to dream. I’m scared because I did this 10 years ago. A lot of it came true! I also crashed and began isolating out of fear. You name the dear, I’ve got it. Thank you for reminding me that dreaming is about living in possibilities
👍🏻 I just quit my FT job and started a home bakery! Scary, but this has been my life-long dream! Next ten years, I need to build my business and open a storefront.
I wish you the best 😙
Mel, it is incredible how dynamic you are!! and so generous. I have never seen a couch who supports people like you do and above all totally free. thanks thanks and thanks!!! you are my hero!
Fraeulein Corazon she is amazing! ♥️
YES, SHE IS AMAZING, GIVING, AND TELLS IT LIKE IT IS. THANKS FOR MY SELF BUTT KICK
This is awesome, Mel. I'm turning 51,and this is the best time to think about what I'm gonna do in this decade. Thanks, Mel. Much love.
@18:10 and 19:05, Mel probably meant The Zeigarnik Effect (We remember unfinished or incomplete tasks more than completed tasks. For example, students can use this effect wisely by purposely taking a break from studying in the midst of a chapter, they are then more likely to go back to finish reading the rest of the chapter.).
She may also meant RAS: Reticular Activating System which is like our brains’ filtering function (Once you notice birds singing, you hear them singing everywhere even from a far-away.)
I think Mel’s dreams are absolutely superb, and she did a fantastic job here!
Who else agrees with me..?!
We are rooting for you, Mel! 🤞😉
Thanks for the clarifications
Romy T Sure thing ☺️
I am 73 years old. It is hard to think about the upcoming decade, knowing that I will be 83 years old at the end of the decade. My age gets in the way of so many dreams.
Allow yourself childlike wonder, and dream with the complete belief that life is immortal. Those of us younger in years have no guaranteed advantage of longevity.
I'm gonna get rid of my limiting beliefs!! I never felt like I deserved it. So this course is going to get rid of this stinkin thinkin!
I've had a few dreams for so long i think I've sabotaged them by listening to too many naysayers and adopted the 'unrealistic' logic to them. This feels like a second chance (so to speak) to 'gitter done'. I cleaned my desk at work to set up for this week, and found a reminder a co-worker gave me: "If your dreams don't scare you, they're not big enough." Serendipity, right?
💞
Mel Robbins is one of the most influential non-relative person in my life in the past few years. Thank you for you generosity and wisdom Mel.
Thank you Mel and your ‘Team’. The fact that I’ve printed out the book and sitting here pen in hand to do ‘the work’... is significant. There have been many a program that has caught my eye and even got a sign up... but those stinkin’ limiting thoughts get in the way. Your approach... constantly addressing the all too common blocks and insecurities getting in the way of ‘movement ‘ is so helpful. Understanding the bs and our brains and allowing us to just be human... and somehow giving us (unneeded... yet sadly needed , permission) to accept our own humanity. Knowing we are not unique in the blocks and fears... but that our individuality and uniqueness can only find its way to us and the world by getting past the sameness. Taking away the power of feelings to control us while recognizing and validating them... reframing and thus re-teaching our lovely brains and minds. Hope for healing the lies we’ve believed... but deep down doubted. Bless you! Divorced, bankrupt, and starting over with 2 children in elementary school at 50 and living at home with aging parents. I’m so loving that I can confidently kick the limiting thoughts in the teeth and your guidance in doing just that. Love this community. Sending good thoughts and encouragement to you and my fellow seekers! Your dreams Mel, ARE coming true 💜
I was happy and satisfied in a job I had worked in for 25 years...thought I would retire from there. But things change, new CEO's, different ideas, down sized/restructured, lost the job I had as a Nurse Manager. I cried for a few weeks...but then decided that I had always dreamed of getting a higher degree.When most of my friends were preparing for retirement, I started back to school at age 47; finished my bachelors, masters, and doctorate. Embarked on a new career at age 52 as a Certified Nurse Midwife! I have accomplished more in the last decade than I did in the 4.5 before! You are never too old!
Mel... I am so happy I came across your video today... for the past 16 years I have not been dreaming at all and I use be a BIG dreamer and I use to make my DREAMS come true! I use to be a planner I planned my wedding and the birth of my children and I truly lived a beautiful life... Sadly... In 2004 I realized you can;t plan everything in your life... my hubby was diagnosed with brain cancer and he battled brain cancer for 11 1/2 years after he was told he only had weeks to live. I was so proud of my hubby... I stood proudly by his side trying to save his life and I'd do it all over again.. I had to leave my job to become his full-time caretaker right after his diagnoses. He was in a wheel chair and could no longer speak. Sadly he lost his life to brain cancer in 2015 and in the process of me trying to save his life and dealing with the grief that I endured after his death I sadly lost myself and I lost my purpose in this World. Ever since I heard the doctor tell my hubby and I those words "I AM SO SORRY YOU HAVE BRAIN CANCER" for me I stopped DREAMING because I had to go into SURVIVAL MODE TO SURVIVE CANCER AND THE LOSS OF MY HUBBY! There is one word that has kept me from Dreaming ... it is called FEAR... See cancer and death causes FEAR. I want to be that BIG dreamer again that makes her DREAMS COME TRUE... I want to start living LIFE TO IT'S FULLEST AGAIN without FEAR and with a PURPOSE again! One of my biggest dreams is in LIFE has always been to sell everything I own and relocate to Florida and retire... this has been a long time dream of mine for years. So what better time to make this dream come true since I am 58 year old now. I know this decade can be the best decade of my LIFE it is up to me and I know Mel with your help I can achieve or at least try! Thank you Mel and to your team for creating this program. I am so looking forward to living life to it's fullest again without FEAR and with PURPOSE...
I started last week =D
Honestly it was not easy.
Thank you Mel that was the first time someone has said i love you in a long time.
It goes well with the 5 second journal
I am happy to hear you swear. If I meet a new person I feel we can never be real friends until they swear :)
Donna Robichaud I’ll swear with you. 😊
I feel the same way too!! Why is swearing so taboo?! Who cares anymore? I don’t!
Last week, I just could NOT sleep, and lo and behold Mel's show came on and the topic caught my attention and I personally believe this was a show that was met for me!
I've seen her show before but this time I really saw her show and how much she has to offer to anyone who is READY.
Thanks
Mel.
God bless you. You've already helped me and I haven't started the program yet.
I am turning 60 next month, so my 10 year dreams are split between the last years of my career and retirement. I am struggling with the retirement dreams as I don't yet have a feel for my purpose.This will be a good exercise for me to go through.
I love how real and authentic you are. I also LOVE you curse and just say what you mean. Thank you for all you do!
Thank you so much for being real and sharing your dreams with us. By doing this it started me thinking on a whole different level. Instead of just conservative, attainable dreams I started writing down big hairy audacious dreams! Like you said, who knows if they will happen, but it was fun dreaming big!
Thank you so much for being such a kind and inspiring person! You are changing lives! Sincere gratitude for being such a force of positivity in this world! ♥️
💞
I have yo-yo dieted for years. I am 54 and by the time I am 64 years old I want and need to be healthy! Loose and maintain a 115 pound weight lose and be able to walk a 5k comfortable and in 30 minutes and my knees will allow me to! I am from metro Detroit, Michigan
check out brightlineeating.com and facebook. Fantastic. Easier than KETO.
I’m having a hard time even starting this program....I get motivated then, I get lost, intimidated , I read the first questions and I just went blank , then began ruminating , about my life , the loss of my mom on oct 10th 2019...still grieving
The same here
Since l lost my mom 16monthago i cant focos in other period sendin love
Well, you have started the program. Just keep watching Mels Videos. If you are going blank, try starting with remembering old dreams that you used to have when you were a child and write down those old dreams. From there, let your imagination go. Keep dreaming.
Sending you loads of peace. I have lost my husband and my mum and I know what grief can do to our minds. I will like to tell you to please find all the good memories you shared with your mum, give thanks for her life and please start to move forward towards the best life that you are in now. Your mum wants you whole and purposeful so get to living your own dreams now. All the best.
I am sending prayers your way. I lost my mother over a year ago and it is a hard process to go through. There are days I feel myself shutting down and what I do is find things to do. Your mother would want you to accomplish your dreams. Keep God first he will see you through. Blessings!
I lost my older brother (June 13 2019), my mother (July 30, 2019), my only aunt (August 3, 2019) so I understand your pain and your grief. I too looked at the blank workbook for days. I just keep thinking about the questions. And while driving the dreams started to come to the forefront of my mind. My whole world for decades revolved around taking care of my mom. I can see it was a reason not to pursue my dreams or even think about them. My family got small real quick and I have the choice which I’m taking to change my mind and have the best decade ever!
I've just started going back over the last decade and I'm in tears. I've been beating myself up over why I haven't accomplished my goals but when I look back I had a 4 & 6 year old, worked full time, left the house at 6:30am every day - never saw their eyes, there were always asleep! Got dressed in the dark, on the hamster wheel until I raced back to collect them at 6pm from after-school club. IS IT ANY WONDER I haven't accomplished my dreams, I was always exhausted?! A Thousand thank-you's Mel and team. I don't do FB but I will for this and look forward to sharing and supporting the group, so when we look at in 2030, we've all made it! Big Love x
Hello Mel from Sydney Australia, looking so much to My Best Decade ever!!!!!
In the last 10 years I studied online for an accounting course, I have graduated University for my Bachelor of Business. I am so proud of myself to do this. I turned 61 this past year and my dreams are to travel, keep working on my life and job which I love.
I am watching from Indianapolis, IN. I have let my age, 58, slow me down the last 2 years and I AM DONE with that! I love seeing others stating their age as more mature AND STILL WANTING TO DREAM! My BIG dream is to own, and operate, a retreat center unlike anything out there that serves families, reunions, workshops, marriages and any other group looking to renew, energize and recreate their lives. By the way, I LOVE LOVE LOVE red barns...yeah hard to believe living in Indiana and want the name of my retreat center to be something like RED BARN RETREAT RANCH! DREAMING ON....
I'm in Indiana too! I hope all your dreams come true and I can visit your Red Barn Retreat Ranch some day!
I am a 56 almost 57 year old women - my last decade was filled with many ups and downs. The ups are the birth of grandchildren who always can put a smile on my face. I have went on a downward spiral by letting my addict daughter control my thoughts, words, actions and so much more. I have found resources which are helping me piece this together and realize that I have no control over this. Some days are easier than others. We are transitioning our farm to one of the children (my step-son) which is difficult. I started a Chalk Couture (crafting) business which I would love to grow. Also I am ready to set into semi - retirement mode although the communication with my husband and I is terrible on this subject.
Replay, I am already in tears listening to you Mel. 💖 Thank you so very much I a 67 and need to relearn how to dream again
This is the same place that I am recognizing in myself. I lost my ability to dream. I’m searching for this once again. I think I needed the permission to dream again. I’m hoping that this will open the next door of my life journey.
@@kimpuchek1956 hugs ❤
Love that you share your dreams! helps me expand mine. I too had a hard time not putting dreams for my kid. These are mine, she has her own ❣️
What do I like about Mel? Her authenticity. Her passion. They way she regularly says she cares. She regularly congratulates people. She states her belief in others. They way she can, on-the-fly, 180 something such as the question today in such simple yet powerful and tangible language. Her displays of being a "real person" ... chatting away to the staff, picking up the phone to call her daughter. She's not just like us, but is one of us. No ivory towers here. Thanks Mel.
Mel you already are helping people with mental health issues and you are smashing it! You have helped me in ways it's impossible to describe and I will be forever great ❤️
Thank you Mel for your support and love for Australia 🐨🦘 We hope to see you here this year 🇭🇲
My dream is to be able to say to my dad I LOVE YOU and that he feels free to say the same to me, which we have never said to each other in 28 years... that´s my big dream :)
That is a great dream. And you can accomplish that dream in seconds. Just say, "Dad, I love you." And just be silent after you say it, and wait. Let him be the next one to speak. He might not say it back on the first attempt. But just keep telling him you love him each time you talk to him on the phone when you hang up, and tell him each time you're with him when you say goodbye.
Succulent Queen Thank you so much!
You can practice this saying it loud several times when on your own. Hearing your own voice saying the words makes it easier to say them to your dad!
I started telling my dad and brothers I loved them on the phone. They were quiet for a while then they'd say me too and then they'd mumbled it out. Now they say I love you or respond with I love you too. I remember when they actually said it I got choked up. I know they love me but to actually get to hear them say it is somehting else. I tell them I love them all the time I tell my friends and other family members to. So take the first step with a note ,a phone and if you don't get a response right away don't stop telling them. I am sure you will attain your dream in no time. Best wishes !
Ada Hampton Thanks!
I am late watching this but love the message and can’t wait to get started.
Normally I'm not one who watches or reads self help books or videos. Not that I'm without my issues but the only time I've really listened and been able to turn myself around is when someone can/will talk to me in a real way. I've only had two or three people just put it to me straight which has made me straighten my ass out. You are the first person in a long time who just says it like it is! It's refreshing and you have caught my attention!
Amen to Mental Wellness! We’re in a fight to change education to teach self worth and trusting intuition, as well as battling spin-doctors for the truth about healthy foods, antibiotics (think glyphosate), the autism epidemic, the Alzheimer’s pandemic, dementia plague and declining fertility. GO Mel, GO! ❤️🙏🏻
Thanks Mel and team and to Diana for her question. I love the authenticity and rawness of this webinar as it has inspired me to expand my dreams.
This explanation of why to write your dreams is so much better than writing goals, this is so much more real and productive and doable because its real for each of us. Thank you, for explaining this made enough sense to get the motivation to do it, and this will build my own accountability and competency. Thank you.
I love you Mel! I’m so inspired by you and your help with mental health. It’s extremely important and I never knew how much until I’ve been facing it. Thank you for coming into my life.
Thank you so much for the amazing sessions mam. I am now on the way to build my dreams and will definitely achieve whatever I choose to become. Thanks, Mel robbin, u r great
Hello from Melbourne, Australia🇦🇺. I’m safe, but know of people affected. Thanks to you, the USA & the rest of the world for wrapping our country in love💜🙏🏼and pouring money to help aid those suffering & especially the innocent animals. It’s an understatement to say you have truly changed my life since I read your 5 Second Rule book. I don’t think I’d still be here without it! 2019 was the hardest in my 57 years as I lost my mum suddenly. I continually watch your videos & joined this as I want very much to make this year and the decade ahead to mean something, to finally believe I can achieve something as in start my own business👌🏼to make myself proud & also to honour my mum. Thrilled your tv show is coming here too. You are utterly amazing, love you💕
I have been doing powerful 'energy block' healing on myself for past 12 months which removes limiting beliefs so this course is in alignment with where i want to go...thank you💜
i just started collaborating with my husband to be able to start my dream of singing my heart out. He loves to play guitar so we started posting our duos . Friends loved it and a lot of requests granted . Thank you soo much Mel for encouraging us to pursue our dreams. Just making people happy with our songs is a dream come true. At least now we know, what’s our purpose . Will make our decade a memorable one.
It's interesting, when I think about my dreams, (time with my kids, enough money to take care of us and do fun things, cure type 1 diabetes, no more punching a clock) it's all connected to one thing; becoming financially free. No idea how that will happen, super scary and impossible dream to me right now.
You are SO me, except you have achieved things that I currently only aspire to. AND I am 8 years your senior, so it is super important that I get my shit together and quickly! Time is NOT to be wasted right now. I have a lot of living to cram into the next ten years. A LOT! You give me faith that I can be successful, even at this age, being who I am.
I started late, then kept getting interrupted, finally watched the whole video, preparing to get into the workbook, 21 yrs ago divorced the 3rd loser, I felt at the time it was me, went through all my self defeating language, went through some counseling, and began listening to motivational speakers and reading some powerful books. I now know I am an amazing woman, I raised my kids alone, they all graduated and went on with their lives, things were rough although they were never without. I completed my education Masters in Nutrition and Health Education, I've learned how to attract more positive in my life, i am now surrounded with a group of like minded folks and learning from them as much as I know they learn from me. I motivate and inspire many to live their truth, each time I also learn more about myself. Ive been working on a book for a while in journal form, and this year finally got serious and began typing in a word document seeing at a book helps. it is describing the trauma I lived through as a child and young adult, not to insult those that broke my heart rather to encourage others no matter where you are, or what has happened there really is a bright light for you to reach your dream.. I do believe being on this journey with you all and learning from yet another powerful motivational speaker Mel Robbins I will publish my first book, and help many.. nice to meet you all. Namaste
😀 Hello from Nantasket Beach, Hull, Massachusetts.
Teaching us how to f'n dream in bite-sized chunks of daily meals is excellent. Thank you Mel. At 63, I'm trying to reinvent myself and find full-time work in sales training, coaching 20-somethings and inspiring others like you are doing for us. Here's to the Best Decade Ever.
Hey Mel,
I’m a very goal-oriented person. In a video can you explain how to differentiate between goals and dreams? I’m struggling to dream bigger instead of setting reasonably attainable goals.
On this video Mel is not talking about goals only dreams. Mel explains a bit from 31.14
In fact dreams are what keep us inspired to pursue goals - a goal is nothing more than breaking down your dreams into smaller steps - one goal at a time in the end is the accomplishment of a big dream ....for instance - I live in Brazil and one of my dreams is living abroad - working for Mindvalley in Malaysia - breaking down in goals ( I need to take my passport + I need to record a video cover to Apply to the job + I need to save money to take with me for the first month before payment there + while in Brazil I need to keep improving my personal development journey and take a Storytelling training) See the difference? Dreams x goals ? Hope I could help ...
Mel can you add captions to your videos? It would be helpful to include people with hearing loss and others that may not be able to listen to your content in a traditional way. Thanks.
Hit the 3 dots in the top right corner and tap C.C. it's for closed captioning on all RUclips videos 😁
Hit the CC below (or above as Jackaa Lynch said; wherever it is on your screen) -- it's for closed captions. Worked for me!
The auto generated captions are helpful but some words do get mangled. YT captions say 'Zygon arc effect' when it should be 'the Zeigarnik effect', named after the Lithuanian psychologist Bluma Zeigarnik.
This is why I cannot stop writing music. I want to write and sing a hit song :) Music is healing me!!!!!!!!
Hi Mel. I'm 49 years old, i'm from the Philippines and i'm really glad i joined this program. My problem is that i no longer have a big dream at this time. My mind keeps telling me that I'm already old to start dreaming again. I have some achievements that i'm proud of but when i resigned from my last job last June 2019, I suddenly got lost on what I want to do and I lost the inspiration to have a dream and thus i 've become inactive. Although I know that this is not healthy and I know i have the talent and skills to do more, I am really looking for that motivation or inspiration to kick start my next decade, I really hope i can find it. Thanks for coming up with this program.
Hello Everyone, late arrival to the program. I was sick with a cold and saw Mel was also impacted, so now I am playing catch up with the Dream Assignment. It was hard at first because I had forgotten, but once I started it made sparked with excitement and I am 54 years old who wants to learn to play an instrument, scuba dive, and even get my pilots license. Ref:)
I did the mindset reset last year and THANK YOU so much for that course!! I stopped using the snooze buttton and I have a much better day. AND I tell others how powerful this tool is-I am grateful and looking forward to the best decade ever!!💖
I grew up with a dad who always wanted to teach us our limits, who never thought it was possible for us to achieve much etc. It took me some time to figure out that this stemmed from his own insecurity. I'm making a conscious effort to do the opposite and not impart limited beliefs on my kids.
My dream is for as many people as possible to read the book I'm writing on motherhood. It's in French and French publishers are very hard to please. I have gotten used to the idea that I will just publish an e-book. But I know inside of me that having a real published book (on paper) out in the world would be the best thing ever. I feel like everything in my life (studying in Paris, reading a lot, experiencing pain, love, loss and motherhood above all) has prepared me to write this book that I'm pouring myself into. I know it would be valuable for many women because I'm not leaving anything out.
I also want to dedicate more time to my blog and have more readers in that way as well.
Can I just say you are such a kind and caring person ! So excited to start the best decade ever ❤️
Here's a question to ask yourself that will help you dream big. Ask yourself wouldn't it be cool if...? I learned that from the guy the owns MindValley. 🙌🤲🙏
I love how Mel's dream book is bound like that!
Thank you so much Mel and the team for giving us the chance to do this. I am in Devon, England and will be 60 in a months time. I think I have been shut down for so long, I don't think I have ever had any big dreams. I was in a narcissistic marriage for years and have been on my own for 13 years now, it feels like I've just been treading water and making do. I do get overwhelmed, maybe because I don't have enough faith in myself, I can relate to the lady who said she didn't write dreams down because she just gets sad. I'm really hoping this will work for me and give me the courage to leave the job I really don't enjoy and do something that makes me want to get up for in the morning x
Almost March and Im just starting to do the course and to dream big. I don't care being late, I care not to start.
I am starting my first day today! 1/18 let's do this!
I am going to be 65 years old this year and I have just retired from a 30 year academic career that I loved. I feel like dreaming big for this time in my life might be difficult. I feel like I have done the things that I have wanted to do with my life and should be enjoying the fruits of my labour right now. On the other hand, I have to admit that I feel a bit at loose ends after retiring in June. I am not sure what my purpose in life is anymore so I am spending a lot of time just puttering around and not really "accomplishing" anything. What advice do you have for someone my age? Thanks! I really appreciate the courses that you offer.
I have retired after 45 years of critical care nursing. I feel lost now what to do with my life. I have done some traveling, caught up on books and visited with friends and family. Now what?
I left my career after 36 years and spent the past few years trying to figure out who I am and what to do next. I've finally discovered a life I love where I'm still being productive but I have time freedom to decide how to spend my time. It's the best of a career combined with the best of retirement and I love it. It took time and a whole lot of self discovery but at 62 I'm loving life.
Mentorship, I always asks advise from people of your age, I have been able to learn something incredible after listening to three different people of your age saying the same thing. You have decades of life experience, share it.
Thank you for sharing your Life...I am a Baby Boomer too like you...I never stop dreaming of becoming a Mega Millionaire...I love to Dream Big...A new Life begins again for all of us ...We can all start again from where we are right now...Age does not matter...Age is just a number...Thank you Mel & all our Friends here :-)
What about learning a new language. Share with new "teachers" the things they should know to be great teachers. Writing a book about it maybe, a blog, a podcast.....my two cents
Thank you Mel for giving me the opportunity to even think about dreaming again. I think I have gotten caught up in day to day life that I actually forgot what it was like to dream or to think I deserve to have any new dreams. I feel guilty saying I want more out of my life but with you starting this class it has opened my heart and my mind to having that child like attitude of dreaming big again. It's been a rough couple of years and I'm excited to look at my future dreams instead of the dreaded word GOALS. Goals to me sound like work but dreams sound more exciting, hopeful and something to look forward to in the future. I'm ready to dream and looking forward to see those dreams come true within the next 10 years or sooner.
Thank you for sharing your dreams as well and looking forward to hearing as they come true for you.💗
Thank u so much .I am a graduate student and before this I was trying to get into medical college but I wouldn't and I have heard it a million times from different people saying ,"u always have big dream and that's not going work for u ,think small".and now u are saying things I always wanted to hear.becoz after a point I was doubting myself .
I just finished Spring it On, after doing Mindset/Reset course and coffee talk. I've made your videos part of my morning routine and it's made such a difference in how I start my day. I am just now reaching this part "Best Decade" and it looks like a great course for dealing with living in the pandemic, division, politics, and everything else going on. With all the chaotic things happening right now in the world, looking forward to a decade is a very interesting idea and I'm looking forward to it. Thank you.
This is just amazing Mel! Looking forward to the entire course.
You''re the best motivational speaker I've come across because you are really honest and open and push yourself to be vulnerable to really show us how things work for human beings and that even you struggle with these things. That makes it so powerful! 💪💚
Im 42 amd a single mum to one 16 year old daughter, and have been for 15 years, working full time 9-5 grind.. She has had some major health issues last year which turned our lives upside down and im only now kind of coming back from and she is getting back on her feet. 2019 was very rough for us. In saying that and looking back with new perspective, most of my adult life I have given up 'before' even trying and then telling myself im not good enough and i dont have what it takes to succeed. Which obviously is utter Bullshit!!! The past year has shown me the enormous level of strength I have and what I am capable of getting through. Now I want to channel all of that in to being so financially f@#king secure that I never have to worry about money again, and having the ability to always provided for myself, mind, body and spirit. This year I plan to start my own business. And that dream Range Rover ..... has my name on it!!! #australian
An edible lmao I love you!
You're awesome, Mel! You're gonna change my life, woman. Thank you for existing and thank you for dreaming so big that you are now uploading videos to help everyone else do it too!
I just started today, I am afraid i have to say, but thank you. I realized that I have many dreams, but I am 44 years old and I have limits in my mind.but i will give a try. Thank you.
Thank you, from little me in Australia, to you and your amazing team for wanting to help so many strangers better their lives! 🧡🧡🧡
I have spent the last 15 years caring for a parent with dementia. I have been on survival mode and lost myself in the process. I need to reset, breath and dream again. I can write a book on everything I don't want,,, but what I want,,,, that's difficult.... add to this 25 years of working in corporate America.... hey, you all know how draining that can be... I am full of my limitations! Right now I feel I lack the energy, focus and drive to design my life... BUT I WANT MORE! I am in my mid 50's and life should be on my terms NOW.
How do I tell you how much I love you Mel Robbins!!
How did you learn all the "wise, common sense" information you share with everyone? I think youre good at this. So proud of you!
I just watched your first video of Your Best Decade Ever. I am super curious about how this will work, but I am excited to try. Mel's delivery cracks me up! It makes her so real!
Hi Mel and team. I wish we had someone as inspirational as you in the UK! Just completed Mindsetreset in Dec. 2019. I've forgotten how to dream but am looking forward to being reminded. Wish you and your family and team a very happy, healthy and prosperous 2020. Thanks for all your hard work.
This morning, after listening to your broadcast, I felt energized and started filling my dream book. Review of 2019, dreams expectations for 2020, everything was flowing until I reach question number 4 on page 10 "If money wasn't an issue, what would you be working toward right now?... Blank, I 'm not able to write down anything... Am I keeping last decade's working track by fear to change and do something else? Until now, I didn't make the most of it, my limiting beliefs have been shrinking my ambitions and I obviously can do it better and reach greater results (not only financial ones). Sometimes, quitting might also be the right answer so my question is: How do you know when it's time to quit and take another direction without been moved by fear and lack of courage?
Thanks for your concern for our beautiful burning country xx

I love that you're in Mass it's my home state. I also love the idea of a mental health directory as it's something that is so needed.I'm excited to see where this goes.
Thanks for mentioning the fires, Mel. It's truly horrific here. BUT ... all good things are coming this decade!
Mel, I started talking about a national directory for Autism services last year! When you said the mental health dream, I froze and smiled!
Thank you so much for your love, support and donations to our charities set up to help those people whose lives have been destroyed by these fires that are across our country. Also thank You for this free course I am ready to #dreambigger xoxo
I just signed up on May 5th and filled out the questions up to page 13. I found it very cathartic and it's helping me focus.
Thank you so much for offering your time and resources to help us learn and explore our goals!
Thanks Mel....I really appreciate all you do and for this course!
Part incredible here and part struggle. I am so looking forward to this. Thank you for helping everyone Mel.
Missed the live but glad I can watch now. Mel Robbins thank you. I am 57 and questioning where I am and have not dreamt big dreams for me, yes for my kids and now my grandkids. Kind of feeling selfish for focusing on my dreams now.
2020: the year AND decade of clarity and joy
Kids hear no a hundred times a day and it doesn't stop them -WOW. Mel is right - my limiting beliefs HAVE made me stop myself before someone else could do I could beat them to the punch. This truth is hard, I've known it for awhile. Now I must face it and CHANGE. I CAN.
So excited for this training. Thank you Mel for all your knowledge and support. When I first thought about my dreams, my mind was blank, I truly had no clue. After listening to your videos, I realized my dreams died when I lost control of my life, encountering so many battles and obstacles that I assumed my life was over with no where left to go. Long story short, I am truly seeing as a 55 year old single female my isn’t over. For example, I’d love to change careers and have an emotionally fulfilling romantic relationship. Clearly it’s not too late! Thanks again Mel.
There’s a word that you keep repeating that resonates with me is” giving myself permission” THATS HUGE .... yet sooo true ..I forget to give myself permission , bc I’ve tried to fit into someone else’s version of me ....WOW ..MIND BLOWING
Thank you Mel, I'm aspired to dream again. I used to but, I have been so busy I forgot to dream. Thanks
