Thank God you didnt go to law school. Thank God you are my friend and mentor. I lost my mom to a stroke at eleven, i became the parent, like Dr. Jim Doty. I needed a mentor yesterday, today, tomorrow, last year, 2020, thank you for your life force. I love you.
YES‼️ I’m 62 years old, single for ten years…I was a stay at home mom, married 25 years to a cheater. I got the courage to leave and I didn’t get a single penny. I was scared, mad and discouraged l. I had no idea how I was going to help my child in her first year of college and raise my youngest son with no money! I spent three miserable years feeling sorry for myself…Lost my home, car and everything. I finally reluctantly took a retail job I hated but I had a little money. The following year I received a scholarship to the writers program at UCLA. I was in shock! I thought I’d finish my novel…Guess what I just now have a rough first draft…I started it in 2015…yikes! I don’t allow my age to keep me back. THANK YOU MEL for inspiring me today!!! I know my dream very well but my fear has had the power…no more! You are such a bright light!
Woohoo! I’m just out of a 14 year relationship with a man that walked out on me and cheated and left with so much unknown and have picked myself up and making the choice to focus on me and my 19 year old and 14 year old daughters! And working towards my dreams!!!❤️. You aren’t alone friend (my oldest daughter I had to leave when she was 1 year old, an emotionally abusive man). I know my value and my worth and am choosing growth and my dreams, we do find strength in the deepest valleys and super hard stuff
I just turned 58 age didn't matter until I got covid last year. Now I want to change everything I never want to see this person I am. Thank you for your inspirational story!!!! See you at the TOP!
The work: Write down 5 dreams a day. Make it a habit to claim what you want. Dont over think. Grab a blank piece of paper, write down whatever desires you have. Do not judge your dreams. Do not block them. Let them out on paper. Does not matter how realistic they are or not. Just write down 5 for that day and repeat daily. These dreams will inspire the work needed to achieve them. See these dreams on the paper. They can be specific, realistic, outlandish. See them in real time. You’re doing this, letting desires and dreams flow freely. Brain takes notice of things that are important to you in order to work with you not against you. Brain will go to work to help you get them done. A little summary for myself. not word for word.
When the student is ready, the teacher appears… I’m at a decision point right now. Thank you for honoring your intuition and posting this message right now. It truly showed up exactly when I need it!
Hi Mel , i m Akanksha from India. I m 41 , mother of 2 .I have masters degree in physiotherapy .always wanted to b great in life .but just became house wife..but now i m changing my life.. taking control of it. Ur videos inspired me a lot. Thank you.i have stopped viewing rear mirror..i m seeing forward my journey of life...
From the spiritual side, I do not believe that God gives you a desire without also giving you the means to make it happen. That means you "own it" which is horrifying to some folks. It is a powerful attribute when you realize how strong you really are. Thank you, Mel!
I'm 50 and changing my life after two relationship breakups, one 16 yrs and 10 years just recently. 2 of my children work with me and I am a proud mum. My other boy is months away from finishing his trade. My dream now is me... My passion is to have an organic producing farm, fully off-grid. And I'm pretty sure my beautiful boys will be involved in my future venture because I am an awesome mum 💖
43 getting divorced after 24 years and so excited for yes to my goals in life.. alpaca ranch, micro greens gardening, living room set up my way, and yes to that life I’ve tried to work towards in my marriage with no as a response because thats too much work or will not work or no gonna travel when we retire (in 20 years) so no animals… now is the time I get to work and live healthy and dream and dance!
I’m 55 and I just resigned from what I thought was a dream job because it was making me sick and depressed. I refused to listen to my body telling me this wasn’t it. Perfect timing to hear this Mel, thank you ❤
I became a writer at age 61 in Bogotá, Colombia. It has been my way to overcome my reality as immigrant. It has been my way to protest elegantly and reach the World 🌎 The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Thank you Mel! I now realize that after 28 years married to a narsisitic entity that my flame was reduced to a small pilot light that needed to be rekindled to a raging flame.
@Wendy Albrecht LOVE that saying, wording, analogy, etc. Hope you are okay with me totally repurposing it. Ooh I'm about to make a big claim. But, lots of people do and no one pays attention to them and then they move on. But, how cool when I actually do it and get a point to this. You will see that again someday when I step into Mel's place because she left a big gaping hole open for people that want to do what she was doing and go around and give these TED talks and create these seminars and getaways and yeah, lol. I want to be big. I want it to be huge. I want to make a global impact with simple things like kindness and compassion and small, really small, just random acts of a little more. Extra. Just go out of your way to thank somebody for doing their job, especially if they do it great. If somebody tells you something and they stick to their word, tell them how much you appreciate that. That is a quickly, really really quickly, diminishing expectation. These younger people have opportunities we could have never dreamed of. But, here's the thing guys, we have the same opportunities too!!! No more excuses. You nailed it Mel, you always do. In fact, when I saw the title of this one I thought oh wow for the first time ever I can just skip this one, should have known better. Same thing with the four different relationship styles. As soon as you started naming them I went to a specific person in my mind and started diagnosing others and thought well I'm not really any of these until the second time around I decided to focus and be honest and real and oh yeah I'm a big anxiety type with a little Dash here and there of avoiding you know the whole Spectrum thing but I am breathing. And as long as I'm doing that, I'm going to keep dreaming. And because of Mel, my dreams are no longer miniscule or insignificant or not really that important so if I don't do it it's not really going to change anything. Nope, I have to go to like Global like worldwide and now I feel like it's mine not only purpose and reason to be here, but just thinking about how many different people will be impacted by this decision and how big it could really get and how much I want it now important it is and on and on and on, that there is my kind of secret weapon when I feel completely stuck. I just think of some small little person who doesn't have access to clean water and if there's anything that I can do to try and fix that then there you go. What ego? Seriously, is there anything more important than helping our fellow man? I'm going to stop now because then all the yeah caca people that just don't dream and don't hope and hurt and gave up or going to chime in and, don't have time for that shit. I hope everybody has a blessed and enlightening and creative rest of your evening and I hope you wake up bright and refreshed tomorrow. And, remember to hit your high five and remember to do your Journal and if You Begin your journey or continue on with me to learning and wanting more. Either way, sending courage and strength out there if you are reading this and really need it.
I’m 30, leaving a high paying corporate career that I’ve excelled in - but never truly liked. I was SO burnt out and unhappy that I resigned from my position without a “backup plan.” Now I am intentionally unemployed, 10 month postpartum, will be applying to nursing school within the next few days and even though I have every reason to be freaking out… I KNOW in my core that this is what I have always wanted since I was fresh out of high school. I had convinced myself that I wasn’t smart enough and graduated with a degree that I never truly wanted. You have no idea how the “It’s not okay to be small” quote hit home for me. I was too comfortable and I refuse to be small!
My jaw dropped when I realized that at the moment I was watching this it was the exact moment that i was meant to watch it. Seems so simple but is really so eye opening. Apparently I needed to watch this. I believe it
"Stop f*cking arguing, joking and making excuses, and get the ass out there, fan the flame, and start working them (your dream goals)". Her last dialogue says it all. Work on your dreams despite your perceived shortcomings. Live no regrets life.
“When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” I have been feeling guilty every morning for the past 2 years for going back to school taking pre-req, part time. I am a stay home mom. Moreover, I am currently, applying for nursing school. Yesterday (8/25/23), for some reason while on intermittent fast, my body and soul find itself listening to your podcast. Today 8/26/23), waking up, finding peace within knowing the guilt I felt for so long upon waking up in the morning is because I cared for too long for what people say, that I put myself last, that I pour from an empty cup. Anyway, I am learning to give it back to myself. I am hoping to start school on October 30, 2023.
Mel, you have wrecked me today. My son sent a link to this today because I told him "to promise me that he will chase his dreams so he does not end up a bitter old man like me." I have spent over 30 years making excuses, and am now weiged down so much by regret that I don't even understand how to dream or what my dreams are any more. I listened to you today, and you broke me as if you had been secretly spying on me, and were talking to me. I just realized it's time to stop making excuses and change. I am not to old!!!!
I feel like everyone would be nicer to each other if we all just went after our dreams. Sometimes those people that settle, they are just terrible to be around haha they just mope around, they're too serious, take things personally, and are so insecure its uncomfortable. Chase your dreams if not for yourself, for the people around you
Sometimes we underestimate that there are other factors happing outside of us to support this dream... that they start happening when you make a move to claim it! All the things and people that you didn't realize they were thinking about you for the positions you desire. They start appearing as you start the expansion. Give yourself credit for the dreams you have already made and the time put in already. You are doing it now! You must believe in the dream. It is unfolding like a beautiful tapestry being woven. ♡
I'm 62 and when I was very small I had dreams and feelings that others would look at me like I was crazy when I talked about them. Just recently I met some beautiful people that have and use that same information to help others and I'm learning how to use that energy now. The best thing I've ever done!
I so needed to listen to this episode. I’m 46. I was diagnosed with cancer last spring. I’m recovering from chemo treatment and have not admitted that I want to write and publish a book of short stories. I have hid behind being busy to distract myself from writing. Thank you.
Thanks, I needed to hear this. My kids are now grown. My whole life has been caregiving for others. Now at 50 years old. I dream of choosing to car for myself first instead of being last on the list. Happy that I have done the work emotionally to now dream and achieve.
I had a complete break down this week, feeling that my flame was SO weak. And this is exactly what I felt. My flame, that used to burn so bright, was weak, almost extinguished. The moment that you talked about the flame, tears started running down my face... And I cried the WHOLE episode... I have the same dreams since I was 5 years old. And, 30 years later, I was about to give up on EVERYTHING! Thank you for being the messenger.
Some people are terrified to believe that their dreams will never come true....we all have to remember that our thoughts BECOME OUR REALTY! Remember what you manifest is exactly what the universe wants to bring to you! DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DREAM BIG! YOU CAN HAVE ANY THING YOU TRULY WANT SO DREAM BIG!
I am in tears when I hear Mel say its not to late to live and start my life. I am clearing out the clutter!!!. Thank you Mel!! I can still make a difference
Hi Mel, you do not know me but I am a follower of yours. My nickname is Mel, too. I am about to give up my long time dream but after listening to this pod cast of yours, I will work on fulfilling my dream. I attempted few times and I will try again. I have to just listen to you again and again to help me keep going too because it sometimes feel lonesome trying to study and pass this exam. Thank you Mel. I hope you will get in touch with me.
I wake up today tired and I felt when I snooze the alarm, my body giving up, and I didn't understand why I was so tired so I started to feeling down and depressed and then, I remembered the 5 sec rule and I had a glimpse of "my dreams" and It felt like a fire inside myself and suddenly I wasn't tired or depressed anymore, I felt like something on my body on and I felt fueled and empowered all this happened in a matter of seconds so I cling onto the feeling of bliss inside myself because I didn't want to let it go... and I realize.. Why our dreams are so important? it give us fuel to live. Then I started to feel better about everything, slowly but surely, I noticed how my mindset and my body started to change the second I decide to not overthink about it and just follow my bliss. And I tell you, this is the first day in my week that I woke up because I feel like doing it and It was a clear message for myself. And this podcast is a confirmation. Thank you Mel, you're tremendously valuable.
I promise to my future self that I will accomplish my dreams withouth any fear. I will be stay courageous throughout the storm and I will find my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
Mel has the ability to make me cry my eyes out and get into my feelings when she speaks. This subject hit a nerve and I'm unpacking every emotion and thought I have on my dreams.
Mel … this is soooo true!!!! You have to believe in your dreams and thoughts!!… 10 years ago, I lost my mom to dementia… she passed in August… the next Mother’s Day, there was a half marathon ON Mother’s Day, I could barely WALK a mile… BUT every day, I said I’m going to do it , and I jogged to the next mail box, then the end of the road then 2 miles.. and my daughter joined me! The day of the race came.. Mel, it was truly amazing!! We literally ran( jogged) 13.1 miles!!!!! We laughed, we cried, but most of all we empowered ourselves and we know we can do ANYTHING we put our minds, and hard work towards doing… thank you for this podcast, it is so true!!🙏🤗❤️💕
Thank you. Good to see more people speaking about this. When I was younger, I bought into the story I kept hearing that I just had to be realistic and get with reality and put aside any dreams. I'm now beginning the process of starting to nurturing my dreams again. I've decided that whatever pain or frustration may come with the pursuit of my dream. it will be nothing in comparison to how gutted I'll feel if I don't go all in. Thank you for speaking on this, Mel. I truly appreciate it.
5 example dreams 1. I am strong and healthy 2. I am a blue belt kickboxer 3 my energy allows me to be active 8 hours a day 4. 20 Million Dollars . 5. Top stem cell therapy treatments in the world . Reframe everything Into the positive and Let’s Go!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀 I had an incurable illness & cured it 10 years ago. This was part of the process 🎉❤
I'm listening to this today, just when I received the best news about an invention I came up with a few months ago. Everything is happening in a way that is pushing me forward... I'm excited, nervous, nauseous, it's crazy :) It happened because I decided to leave my corporate job. After 25 years I realized it wasn't them, it was me, this was not the life I wanted, those titles would never fill my cup. I needed to create that space for this idea to manifest itself. I'm an entrepreneur, always was, I was just in the wrong place :) Thank you for all you do!
Wow. I’ve been struggling and this cleared up so much. I’m embarking on stepping away from an organization where I’m arguably at the top of my game. But it’s not what I want. Realizing I got here because I wanted to”something.” Powerful 💕
My dreams matter, my dreams deserves my attention. My dreams are my responsibility to pursue 🙌🙌. Thank you for believing in me. It means a lot. I would love to meet you one day and sharing a stage with you will be one of my dream come true.
Mel, I know you won't be surprised to read this but... this is exactly what I needed to hear right now ! I am so fucking ready to take my dream seriously and give them credit. You can ever imagine what you have created inside me - you allowed me to dream again...to reconnect with my flame ... I am so grateful Mel .. SO grateful, words are not enough.
Oh my God, Mel I crying 😪😪😪 as I listen to this. Because I have dreams of being a writer. And this week I decided to pre launch my makeup business. Today I woke up feeling great organizing everything, then something happened, I got scared. What if something goes wrong. I manifested this since last year. I heard my voice say don't worry about taking pictures of people, just get the products up. And I met obstacles, now I want to open my store. Theses are the last years in my 50's and I have this pressure to get it right before I turn 60. My current living arrangements aren't where I would love for them to be but I'm grateful I have a place to live. At this point Mel, I feel lost, and alone.
I will be honest - I have in the past, scrolled by your videos because I didn't connect with what you were saying. Over the past week, I have been listening to a lot of your stuff and I am actually grateful that I used to scroll past because I found your videos at the correct moment now. I absolutely appreciate you bluntness and rawness. I'm going to keep fighting for my dreams - even if the biggest fight is against myself. Thank you!
This was the butt kicking i really needed! :) Thanks Mel!! :) I cannot believe this happened. Still, months later. And I moved to LA!! The butt kicking kicked me across the country back to LA!!
I can understand this. I'm only 16....been making excuses on my dreams for 2 years, and this is the perfect time to even watch this. My dream is to become a billionaire, entrepreanur, maybe a singer, a lavish lifestyle, and to start a social media marketing agency that scales up to multi millions of dollars. None of the dreams i have will dissappear. You are SO accurate on "extinuguishing" the flame - i did that through wild emotional eating, telling myself that since my mother had these desires and never achieved them meant that i wouldnt either, and through being insecure telling people heck even ym family about my dreams. Horrible coping mechanisms. And you are right on top - it made me miserable, and as time runs out you feel more guilty. It hurts. I watched this last year and repressed it, but coming back to it and seeing how 2023 went, this is when im meant to hear this. And after i watched this, and realized what i want in this life, it is scary because you begin to feel that XYZ cannot happen etc. But, i now know its time for me to stop fucking around on these excuses. Just looking at this potential causes me to want to cry, because its true - those dreams are meant for me. Today i was working on my SMMA (watching a course i invested into) and i just randomly clicked onto this video because i felt like it for no reason at all - and the outcome is the beginning of desiring those dreams i've had for so long. Yes, feelings are temporary and it is true that humans do want things one time or another (ex: being a singer for the validation, etc.) - but the truth of the matter is that these dreams i have, will NOT go away at all. There are half i've been getting in touch with, and another half i have been repressing becasuse of the probabilites being so low of them actually happening. I've been telling myself a whole bunch of excuses that i can write an entire book to you about why i don't want to pursue my dreams - from lack of self-discipline to generational curses. But maybe that doesnt' mean i cannot, but rather its things i will develop along the way. Being honest, i disagree when you say "your dreams are not meant to be achieved" - i personally believe our dreams are achievable, but we must take action on them at the moment they pop up inside us. I know it is possible. Thank God i'm working on my SMMA right now, because that had been a dream veichle to becoming a successful entrepreanur and even a multi millionaire. I beat the excuses down for good, and i went for it. Now as i'm on the way to the top, Mel is helping me to finally desire these things again like i know i should be doing. Thanks Mel, and i may actually come back when i'm successful and comment/tell you about how it went and what is happening. Don't know how long, it's going very slow process right now, but eventually i'll end up there. Max S. - nov/23rd/2023
I have this one on repeat!! ❤🎉😊 I have a book that is 3/4 on paper and 1/4 in my head. Be careful how much you push me Mel, because my dream is to do a #1 podcast! 😂 Thank you every day for your inspiration! We WILL meet one day! I’ll share the stage with you! ❤
I’m new to this…hearing these words 2 years from when you released this and it’s still perfectly timed. I believe we travel with that flame from birth through death here on earth and beyond. That flame travels and vacillates in intensity from one experience to another, lighting that unidentified path you refer to. Thank you for this and putting it on a platform I was able to discover years later, at a divine moment in my life. Thanks for being a fan of all of us and you definitely have another fan in me!
Yup I had just woke up and I'm telling my dad about my dream and dreams going on and on and I just see at the top of my phone and I go and tell my dad , dad guess at the top of my phone it says your dreams are no joke, he's like no way!!! Even I was blown away perfect timing. I feel the connection
Yaaaaay!!!! 1st like!! I so needed to see this Mel....im wide awake traveling in a hotel.....4am cant sleep. Then this video pops up!! I'm settling in my work vs my passion. Thank you so much Mel!!
WHOAAA...Oh, Mel. Way to talk "on my face", with no escape. Today is Thanksgiving. I don't know how to thank you enough for this video. I will be watching it so many times and letting it kick my butt with gusto. If it was an LP, it will be all scratched by then. Thank you. Oh my...
Well done! Thank you! I am beginning to see the possibilities. I'm reinventing myself at 50 because I've been a mess my whole life. It can be difficult to know the difference between talking myself out of a dream or goal and being aware of the consequences and negative aspects of "going for it."
I decided that too! 2022 was a rough year, and I'm still on the path of getting to know myself deeply, but I'm not afraid anymore. I'm 42 and have had a bad marriage, but for the last 2 1/2 years I have been growing. I'm so scared some days of taking the steps, but I'm no longer afraid of being alone, or being not good enough, and that feels good. I'm afraid of where I'm going, but I'm going anyways! I stepped into 2023 like I'm stepping into a new life. I take care of me, and then my kids, and then my husband if he's open to it. And if he's not, it's no longer disappointing.
I'm in my 70s and have had a dream since I was a teenager: to have a relationship with a man who is romantic, a bit shy, truthful, loyal, is charismatic, a musician, who appreciates cultural activities, loves animals. I finally found him when I heard a voice outside my head saying "Be in his life" and my dream includes getting to know him better and segue into a loving permanent relationship. The only problem is he's met me only once and I don't know if I should pursue this.
"Best Decade Ever" here, Mel. Two of my dreams have changed over the years. One peaked in March. At 69, I've started a new business. I love it, it is NOT easy, but yes it is exciting to wake up with a purpose and I'm still learning from you. I adored this podcast. 🌻
Thank you so much! ❤️💕I‘ll also move back where I loved to be. I do not lie to myself, but what I iearned is: do not share your dreams with anyone until you‘ve done them! I had everything in my hands, but, things happens. Keep your dreams for yourself untill you‘ve done them.
Hearing this podcast it's like you are my primary motivation coach Mel. You're like my trainer or mentor without spending any costs of dollar. You are the best Mel, thanks!
Brilliant! So much wisdom. Wasted too many years and lost too many wonderful opportunities because I listened to others who - in reality - were just thinking of themselves and how they might be affected and what they might lose, without truly thinking how it would affect me. No more - ALL of our dreams matter :)
Thank you for this! I'm 52 and never married. I have a deep desire to live in a warmer climate in my dream space, be married to the love of my life and share life together, and be part of a community of like minded people to create a new family that I never had! I let anxiety and fear and health symptoms hold me back to stay safe. My health has been a wake up call and how life is precious. I've felt stuck the last 3 years after a breakup and lived in a space and area I don't even enjoy. I appreciate your stand for us to make the change!
Mel, put a video of your daughter doing her thing and fan her flame!🔥Yes, it’s bold, but when one truly loves to do a particular activity, one just loves to do it regardless . I hope she jumps for this opportunity!😊 Ah, thanks a lot Mel. I was trying to forget about that very pricey Gucci purse 👜 and now it’s on my dream list!! One of my favorite ladies is Iris Apfel who became famous for her style at 84 years old and she is still going at a 101. She is an icon!! As far as reaching a degree of notoriety that one desires is not as important as doing what one enjoys no matter what!
OMG. I have goosebumps right now cos I was harping on this thought for the past few days and BAM you just verbalized my frustrations and yes I've treated my dreams like a joke. Cried while watching this. I've been so mean to myself justifying that I just Can't .
Thanks Mel! I’m planning something big and it’s scared out of me. Instead of putting the energy on fear, I’m going to plan something even bigger than I want to be! Let’s FAN the flame inside of me💥🔥
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.” -St. Catherine of Sienna Your flame doesn’t die when you die. Your flame just gets brighter, or hotter depending on where you end up. See to it that your dream incorporates ending up in the right place. Eternity is a long time to be wrong about. “You have made us for yourself O’Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.” -St. Augustine, Confessions
AYEE PERFECT TIMING! Was on a Mobbin Mel playlist I made about dreams hit a random slump in life and got this notification.

Hey..you own a clothing store? one of my dreams is to have GRETCHIES STRETCHIES in at least one shop I'm every state. They are the best scrunchies and get rave reviews! ( I've been making them for 26 years.😁
I love you Mel. I met you just at the right time. There has not been one person who has inspired more than you in my entire life and I JUST started listening to you a week ago …
Is this some kind of a sign, oh my word Mel this feels like you sent it straight to me. It is soo for me and it came at the right time. Thank you soo much Mel. You are an amazing soul. I just love you 🙌.
Thank you Mel ❤ U , Please tell your daughter and your friends sister I totally know their dreams will come true. ❤ Life is beautiful, thank you for reminding us. You rock young lady!
I LOVE this so much! Needing this reminder as I push forward into chasing my dreams. I've made excuses long enough! Speaking of my dreams, one is to be on a podcast with you! Either you on mine or a shot like... hi on yours. You inspire and help me so much! Your last episode helped me just show up and record my next episode for Tuesday even when I'm exhausted and have sick kiddos and it's not what I wanted. Thank you so so much! Thankful for who you are and all you put out into the world!
I love you Mel and needed to hear this today. It’s my 48th birthday today 🎉and I’m going to my restaurant job as a hostess. I like my job but my dream is to be a full time artist. I battle daily with simultaneously appreciating what I have in my current life and also wanting more from it. I still have half of the episode left so I will finish it now and be inspired. Thank you for your good work ❤
Not heard of this effect and im Lithuanian wount even try to type it. We live and learn everyday. Thank you Mel for all your hard work. It gives us so much more than getting out of our gray lives. You are awesome!!
You are the freaking best Mel!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for your powerful Energy and inspiration. Thank you for giving so much. Let's get to work!!!
Mel! Great timing. Too long a story to sum up in a moment but just today I again started working on my dream of using my God given talents to be a creative entrepreneur. As I was in tge process of creating, I listened to yoyr inspiring message. I am 65! I have quite a testimony . I hope to one day..maybe in two years be a guest on your show and give my testimony in relation to this talk. I'm also a believer in God , whom I believe created me. I believe it is Him who put the desire of entrepreneurship in me as a young girl. It also runs in my family's blood. Lol. It won't be easy but it's " my dream." Thank you for your hard work in sharing so much time to help those who wanna listen , learn, and grow. ❣️

What is the difference between goals and dreams?
Well im an art teacher in Boston Public Schools! Sometimes dreams are dashed at a very young age! Can we fix that?
Today is the day I not only take the lid off my dreams but the day I follow them…..I’m 70 years old and I finally understand why…thank you Mel x
Thank God you didnt go to law school. Thank God you are my friend and mentor. I lost my mom to a stroke at eleven, i became the parent, like Dr. Jim Doty. I needed a mentor yesterday, today, tomorrow, last year, 2020, thank you for your life force. I love you.
I love your coaching here. It was my xmas present. ❤🕊
YES‼️ I’m 62 years old, single for ten years…I was a stay at home mom, married 25 years to a cheater. I got the courage to leave and I didn’t get a single penny. I was scared, mad and discouraged l. I had no idea how I was going to help my child in her first year of college and raise my youngest son with no money! I spent three miserable years feeling sorry for myself…Lost my home, car and everything. I finally reluctantly took a retail job I hated but I had a little money. The following year I received a scholarship to the writers program at UCLA. I was in shock! I thought I’d finish my novel…Guess what I just now have a rough first draft…I started it in 2015…yikes! I don’t allow my age to keep me back. THANK YOU MEL for inspiring me today!!! I know my dream very well but my fear has had the power…no more! You are such a bright light!
Congratulations on that rough draft! What a huge accomplishment! Yay! 🎉
Woohoo! I’m just out of a 14 year relationship with a man that walked out on me and cheated and left with so much unknown and have picked myself up and making the choice to focus on me and my 19 year old and 14 year old daughters! And working towards my dreams!!!❤️. You aren’t alone friend (my oldest daughter I had to leave when she was 1 year old, an emotionally abusive man). I know my value and my worth and am choosing growth and my dreams, we do find strength in the deepest valleys and super hard stuff
@@heathermac1 woow this is so amazing
❤❤❤
I just turned 58 age didn't matter until I got covid last year. Now I want to change everything I never want to see this person I am. Thank you for your inspirational story!!!! See you at the TOP!
The work:
Write down 5 dreams a day. Make it a habit to claim what you want. Dont over think. Grab a blank piece of paper, write down whatever desires you have. Do not judge your dreams. Do not block them. Let them out on paper. Does not matter how realistic they are or not. Just write down 5 for that day and repeat daily. These dreams will inspire the work needed to achieve them. See these dreams on the paper. They can be specific, realistic, outlandish. See them in real time. You’re doing this, letting desires and dreams flow freely. Brain takes notice of things that are important to you in order to work with you not against you. Brain will go to work to help you get them done. A little summary for myself. not word for word.
This is great! I took a screenshot. Thank you!
Thank you for typing out this summary. xoxo
Yes
Sorry I missed something.You write different dreams every day or not ?
@@mmicic795 30:36 she says they can be the same dreams or different dreams
YOU ARE NEVER TOO OLD! I started Medical School at 45 and graduated with honors. You can do anything you set your mind to.

Wow so cool!!
When the student is ready, the teacher appears…
I’m at a decision point right now. Thank you for honoring your intuition and posting this message right now. It truly showed up exactly when I need it!
Thank you
Nice comment
Hope you don’t mind me saying Hello 👋
Same, thank you!
I don’t know I ever had a dream, but the hopefulness of this, I’m going to do this. I’m 65 and hope to find a life I love for as long as I have left
Hi Mel , i m Akanksha from India. I m 41 , mother of 2 .I have masters degree in physiotherapy .always wanted to b great in life .but just became house wife..but now i m changing my life.. taking control of it. Ur videos inspired me a lot. Thank you.i have stopped viewing rear mirror..i m seeing forward my journey of life...
From the spiritual side, I do not believe that God gives you a desire without also giving you the means to make it happen. That means you "own it" which is horrifying to some folks. It is a powerful attribute when you realize how strong you really are. Thank you, Mel!
Well said 👏
Absolutely 💯
I'm 50 and changing my life after two relationship breakups, one 16 yrs and 10 years just recently. 2 of my children work with me and I am a proud mum. My other boy is months away from finishing his trade. My dream now is me... My passion is to have an organic producing farm, fully off-grid. And I'm pretty sure my beautiful boys will be involved in my future venture because I am an awesome mum 💖
43 getting divorced after 24 years and so excited for yes to my goals in life.. alpaca ranch, micro greens gardening, living room set up my way, and yes to that life I’ve tried to work towards in my marriage with no as a response because thats too much work or will not work or no gonna travel when we retire (in 20 years) so no animals… now is the time I get to work and live healthy and dream and dance!
All the GOOD stuff!
I’m 55 and I just resigned from what I thought was a dream job because it was making me sick and depressed. I refused to listen to my body telling me this wasn’t it. Perfect timing to hear this Mel, thank you ❤
I became a writer at age 61 in Bogotá, Colombia. It has been my way to overcome my reality as immigrant. It has been my way to protest elegantly and reach the World 🌎 The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Very cool…how did you learn to organise the thoughts?
Thank you Mel! I now realize that after 28 years married to a narsisitic entity that my flame was reduced to a small pilot light that needed to be rekindled to a raging flame.
Hi Eugenia, I hear you❤I was also in the same type of relationship. Put on that cape my dear, and go embrace your destiny!
Going thru the same thing...pulling myself together now to liberate myself after 25 years
Me too after 37 years married 40 years with him and he got married again last week !
@@majellakeane9989 very close to your experience. I listen to Mel for inspiration as I am still floundering. Gotta move on!!!!!
@Wendy Albrecht LOVE that saying, wording, analogy, etc. Hope you are okay with me totally repurposing it. Ooh I'm about to make a big claim. But, lots of people do and no one pays attention to them and then they move on. But, how cool when I actually do it and get a point to this. You will see that again someday when I step into Mel's place because she left a big gaping hole open for people that want to do what she was doing and go around and give these TED talks and create these seminars and getaways and yeah, lol. I want to be big. I want it to be huge. I want to make a global impact with simple things like kindness and compassion and small, really small, just random acts of a little more. Extra. Just go out of your way to thank somebody for doing their job, especially if they do it great. If somebody tells you something and they stick to their word, tell them how much you appreciate that. That is a quickly, really really quickly, diminishing expectation. These younger people have opportunities we could have never dreamed of. But, here's the thing guys, we have the same opportunities too!!! No more excuses. You nailed it Mel, you always do. In fact, when I saw the title of this one I thought oh wow for the first time ever I can just skip this one, should have known better. Same thing with the four different relationship styles. As soon as you started naming them I went to a specific person in my mind and started diagnosing others and thought well I'm not really any of these until the second time around I decided to focus and be honest and real and oh yeah I'm a big anxiety type with a little Dash here and there of avoiding you know the whole Spectrum thing but I am breathing. And as long as I'm doing that, I'm going to keep dreaming. And because of Mel, my dreams are no longer miniscule or insignificant or not really that important so if I don't do it it's not really going to change anything. Nope, I have to go to like Global like worldwide and now I feel like it's mine not only purpose and reason to be here, but just thinking about how many different people will be impacted by this decision and how big it could really get and how much I want it now important it is and on and on and on, that there is my kind of secret weapon when I feel completely stuck. I just think of some small little person who doesn't have access to clean water and if there's anything that I can do to try and fix that then there you go. What ego? Seriously, is there anything more important than helping our fellow man? I'm going to stop now because then all the yeah caca people that just don't dream and don't hope and hurt and gave up or going to chime in and, don't have time for that shit. I hope everybody has a blessed and enlightening and creative rest of your evening and I hope you wake up bright and refreshed tomorrow. And, remember to hit your high five and remember to do your Journal and if You Begin your journey or continue on with me to learning and wanting more. Either way, sending courage and strength out there if you are reading this and really need it.
I’m 30, leaving a high paying corporate career that I’ve excelled in - but never truly liked. I was SO burnt out and unhappy that I resigned from my position without a “backup plan.”
Now I am intentionally unemployed, 10 month postpartum, will be applying to nursing school within the next few days and even though I have every reason to be freaking out… I KNOW in my core that this is what I have always wanted since I was fresh out of high school. I had convinced myself that I wasn’t smart enough and graduated with a degree that I never truly wanted. You have no idea how the “It’s not okay to be small” quote hit home for me. I was too comfortable and I refuse to be small!
✨
My childhood dreams are no longer possible. But I have new ones & I'm going after them now.
Yes! 🎉
My jaw dropped when I realized that at the moment I was watching this it was the exact moment that i was meant to watch it. Seems so simple but is really so eye opening. Apparently I needed to watch this. I believe it
Thanks Mel!! I needed to hear this. Let's go everyone, let's make our big dreams reality. Cheers from Mexico 🇲🇽
Today's podcast is genius!! As an artist, I know firsthand the importance of dreams. Dreams coupled with perseverance and hardwork lead to magic!!! 💕
Yes! Create! Stay strong. Do the work. Never quit!
"Stop f*cking arguing, joking and making excuses, and get the ass out there, fan the flame, and start working them (your dream goals)". Her last dialogue says it all. Work on your dreams despite your perceived shortcomings. Live no regrets life.
I needed this..... when the student is ready, the teacher appears!!!
“When the student is ready, the teacher appears.” I have been feeling guilty every morning for the past 2 years for going back to school taking pre-req, part time. I am a stay home mom. Moreover, I am currently, applying for nursing school. Yesterday (8/25/23), for some reason while on intermittent fast, my body and soul find itself listening to your podcast. Today 8/26/23), waking up, finding peace within knowing the guilt I felt for so long upon waking up in the morning is because I cared for too long for what people say, that I put myself last, that I pour from an empty cup. Anyway, I am learning to give it back to myself. I am hoping to start school on October 30, 2023.
Mel, you have wrecked me today. My son sent a link to this today because I told him "to promise me that he will chase his dreams so he does not end up a bitter old man like me." I have spent over 30 years making excuses, and am now weiged down so much by regret that I don't even understand how to dream or what my dreams are any more. I listened to you today, and you broke me as if you had been secretly spying on me, and were talking to me. I just realized it's time to stop making excuses and change. I am not to old!!!!
I feel like everyone would be nicer to each other if we all just went after our dreams. Sometimes those people that settle, they are just terrible to be around haha they just mope around, they're too serious, take things personally, and are so insecure its uncomfortable. Chase your dreams if not for yourself, for the people around you
...shine so bright... that others can see their way out of the darkness... straight to the heart. This is like rocket fuel!!!
Sometimes we underestimate that there are other factors happing outside of us to support this dream... that they start happening when you make a move to claim it! All the things and people that you didn't realize they were thinking about you for the positions you desire. They start appearing as you start the expansion. Give yourself credit for the dreams you have already made and the time put in already. You are doing it now! You must believe in the dream. It is unfolding like a beautiful tapestry being woven. ♡
I'm 62 and when I was very small I had dreams and feelings that others would look at me like I was crazy when I talked about them. Just recently I met some beautiful people that have and use that same information to help others and I'm learning how to use that energy now. The best thing I've ever done!
I so needed to listen to this episode. I’m 46. I was diagnosed with cancer last spring. I’m recovering from chemo treatment and have not admitted that I want to write and publish a book of short stories. I have hid behind being busy to distract myself from writing. Thank you.
Thanks, I needed to hear this. My kids are now grown. My whole life has been caregiving for others. Now at 50 years old. I dream of choosing to car for myself first instead of being last on the list. Happy that I have done the work emotionally to now dream and achieve.
Time to put yourself at the top of your list.
I had a complete break down this week, feeling that my flame was SO weak. And this is exactly what I felt. My flame, that used to burn so bright, was weak, almost extinguished. The moment that you talked about the flame, tears started running down my face... And I cried the WHOLE episode...
I have the same dreams since I was 5 years old. And, 30 years later, I was about to give up on EVERYTHING!
Thank you for being the messenger.
Some people are terrified to believe that their dreams will never come true....we all have to remember that our thoughts BECOME OUR REALTY! Remember what you manifest is exactly what the universe wants to bring to you! DO NOT BE AFRAID TO DREAM BIG! YOU CAN HAVE ANY THING YOU TRULY WANT SO DREAM BIG!
I am in tears when I hear Mel say its not to late to live and start my life. I am clearing out the clutter!!!. Thank you Mel!! I can still make a difference
Hi Mel, you do not know me but I am a follower of yours. My nickname is Mel, too. I am about to give up my long time dream but after listening to this pod cast of yours, I will work on fulfilling my dream. I attempted few times and I will try again. I have to just listen to you again and again to help me keep going too because it sometimes feel lonesome trying to study and pass this exam. Thank you Mel. I hope you will get in touch with me.
I wake up today tired and I felt when I snooze the alarm, my body giving up, and I didn't understand why I was so tired so I started to feeling down and depressed and then,
I remembered the 5 sec rule and I had a glimpse of "my dreams" and It felt like a fire inside myself and suddenly I wasn't tired or depressed anymore,
I felt like something on my body on and I felt fueled and empowered
all this happened in a matter of seconds so I cling onto the feeling of bliss inside myself because I didn't want to let it go... and I realize..
Why our dreams are so important? it give us fuel to live. Then I started to feel better about everything, slowly but surely, I noticed how my mindset and my body started to change the second I decide to not overthink about it and just follow my bliss.
And I tell you, this is the first day in my week that I woke up because I feel like doing it and It was a clear message for myself.
And this podcast is a confirmation.
Thank you Mel, you're tremendously valuable.
MEL i may be crying. I´m also an actress and i just felt so safe and such comfort in hearing this
I promise to my future self that I will accomplish my dreams withouth any fear. I will be stay courageous throughout the storm and I will find my pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

Mel has the ability to make me cry my eyes out and get into my feelings when she speaks. This subject hit a nerve and I'm unpacking every emotion and thought I have on my dreams.
Mel … this is soooo true!!!! You have to believe in your dreams and thoughts!!… 10 years ago, I lost my mom to dementia… she passed in August… the next Mother’s Day, there was a half marathon ON Mother’s Day, I could barely WALK a mile… BUT every day, I said I’m going to do it , and I jogged to the next mail box, then the end of the road then 2 miles.. and my daughter joined me! The day of the race came.. Mel, it was truly amazing!! We literally ran( jogged) 13.1 miles!!!!! We laughed, we cried, but most of all we empowered ourselves and we know we can do ANYTHING we put our minds, and hard work towards doing… thank you for this podcast, it is so true!!🙏🤗❤️💕
As always, great message. Thank you so much for keeping it fucking REAL!
Thank you. Good to see more people speaking about this. When I was younger, I bought into the story I kept hearing that I just had to be realistic and get with reality and put aside any dreams. I'm now beginning the process of starting to nurturing my dreams again. I've decided that whatever pain or frustration may come with the pursuit of my dream. it will be nothing in comparison to how gutted I'll feel if I don't go all in. Thank you for speaking on this, Mel. I truly appreciate it.
5 example dreams 1. I am strong and healthy 2. I am a blue belt kickboxer 3 my energy allows me to be active 8 hours a day 4. 20 Million Dollars . 5. Top stem cell therapy treatments in the world .

Yes!! I would hear the same thing. "She's not in touch with reality"

I'm listening to this today, just when I received the best news about an invention I came up with a few months ago. Everything is happening in a way that is pushing me forward... I'm excited, nervous, nauseous, it's crazy :) It happened because I decided to leave my corporate job. After 25 years I realized it wasn't them, it was me, this was not the life I wanted, those titles would never fill my cup. I needed to create that space for this idea to manifest itself. I'm an entrepreneur, always was, I was just in the wrong place :) Thank you for all you do!
At 58 (in a few days) I’m not sure what my dreams are!
I am going to start writing down 5 things. I’m excited to let myself start dreaming❣️
I love that.... 'it's okay to be comfortable it's not okay to be small'
Wow. I’ve been struggling and this cleared up so much. I’m embarking on stepping away from an organization where I’m arguably at the top of my game. But it’s not what I want. Realizing I got here because I wanted to”something.” Powerful 💕
Loved this.
Please include those of us who still want to pursue our dreams but are struggling with health issues 🙏🏽
She included health as apart of that 5 dreams a day list.
My dreams matter, my dreams deserves my attention. My dreams are my responsibility to pursue 🙌🙌. Thank you for believing in me. It means a lot. I would love to meet you one day and sharing a stage with you will be one of my dream come true.
Mel, I know you won't be surprised to read this but... this is exactly what I needed to hear right now ! I am so fucking ready to take my dream seriously and give them credit. You can ever imagine what you have created inside me - you allowed me to dream again...to reconnect with my flame ... I am so grateful Mel .. SO grateful, words are not enough.
OMG, Mel, Ive been asking for this conversation for years!! Nobody understands me and I thought my dreams were never come to reality. Thank you!!
Mel, we'd all love to hear your daugter sing on your show! Great podcast and needed to hear this!
I almost cried Mel during this podcast
And I am happy to hear this... I will come back shortly after achieving my biggest dream...
Go on Mel ya little legend. Delighted to see you start the podcast. Now if we could bottle you up.... what a tonic 👊
Oh my God, Mel I crying 😪😪😪 as I listen to this. Because I have dreams of being a writer. And this week I decided to pre launch my makeup business. Today I woke up feeling great organizing everything, then something happened, I got scared. What if something goes wrong. I manifested this since last year. I heard my voice say don't worry about taking pictures of people, just get the products up. And I met obstacles, now I want to open my store. Theses are the last years in my 50's and I have this pressure to get it right before I turn 60. My current living arrangements aren't where I would love for them to be but I'm grateful I have a place to live. At this point Mel, I feel lost, and alone.
Saw this on 12/18/2022 and I’m marking it. I am FOR ME.
Thank you for being YOU ☺️
I love you Mel Robbin for returning my faith in myself and in what I really want.... A big thank you
I will be honest - I have in the past, scrolled by your videos because I didn't connect with what you were saying. Over the past week, I have been listening to a lot of your stuff and I am actually grateful that I used to scroll past because I found your videos at the correct moment now. I absolutely appreciate you bluntness and rawness. I'm going to keep fighting for my dreams - even if the biggest fight is against myself. Thank you!
Why don't you pretend you are your best friend. How would you treat her?
This was the butt kicking i really needed! :) Thanks Mel!! :) I cannot believe this happened. Still, months later. And I moved to LA!! The butt kicking kicked me across the country back to LA!!
✨
I'm 58 and still working towards my dreams :)
Yes... let's go... let's pursue the dreams in your heart 🌎 Thanks.
I can understand this. I'm only 16....been making excuses on my dreams for 2 years, and this is the perfect time to even watch this. My dream is to become a billionaire, entrepreanur, maybe a singer, a lavish lifestyle, and to start a social media marketing agency that scales up to multi millions of dollars. None of the dreams i have will dissappear. You are SO accurate on "extinuguishing" the flame - i did that through wild emotional eating, telling myself that since my mother had these desires and never achieved them meant that i wouldnt either, and through being insecure telling people heck even ym family about my dreams. Horrible coping mechanisms. And you are right on top - it made me miserable, and as time runs out you feel more guilty. It hurts. I watched this last year and repressed it, but coming back to it and seeing how 2023 went, this is when im meant to hear this. And after i watched this, and realized what i want in this life, it is scary because you begin to feel that XYZ cannot happen etc. But, i now know its time for me to stop fucking around on these excuses. Just looking at this potential causes me to want to cry, because its true - those dreams are meant for me. Today i was working on my SMMA (watching a course i invested into) and i just randomly clicked onto this video because i felt like it for no reason at all - and the outcome is the beginning of desiring those dreams i've had for so long. Yes, feelings are temporary and it is true that humans do want things one time or another (ex: being a singer for the validation, etc.) - but the truth of the matter is that these dreams i have, will NOT go away at all. There are half i've been getting in touch with, and another half i have been repressing becasuse of the probabilites being so low of them actually happening. I've been telling myself a whole bunch of excuses that i can write an entire book to you about why i don't want to pursue my dreams - from lack of self-discipline to generational curses. But maybe that doesnt' mean i cannot, but rather its things i will develop along the way. Being honest, i disagree when you say "your dreams are not meant to be achieved" - i personally believe our dreams are achievable, but we must take action on them at the moment they pop up inside us. I know it is possible. Thank God i'm working on my SMMA right now, because that had been a dream veichle to becoming a successful entrepreanur and even a multi millionaire. I beat the excuses down for good, and i went for it. Now as i'm on the way to the top, Mel is helping me to finally desire these things again like i know i should be doing.
Thanks Mel, and i may actually come back when i'm successful and comment/tell you about how it went and what is happening. Don't know how long, it's going very slow process right now, but eventually i'll end up there.
Max S. - nov/23rd/2023
I love this woman. Dearly. Thank you Mel for all you do. ❤
So great!, Chase your dreams! Claim your identity, authority and sovereignty to choose to claim your dreams.
WOW! That was powerful message.. Working on my dreams now. Seriously. No more excuses. No more joking!
You are the teacher to the student in me. ❤🎉❤
I have this one on repeat!! ❤🎉😊
I have a book that is 3/4 on paper and 1/4 in my head. Be careful how much you push me Mel, because my dream is to do a #1 podcast! 😂 Thank you every day for your inspiration! We WILL meet one day! I’ll share the stage with you! ❤
I’m new to this…hearing these words 2 years from when you released this and it’s still perfectly timed. I believe we travel with that flame from birth through death here on earth and beyond. That flame travels and vacillates in intensity from one experience to another, lighting that unidentified path you refer to. Thank you for this and putting it on a platform I was able to discover years later, at a divine moment in my life. Thanks for being a fan of all of us and you definitely have another fan in me!
Hi Mel! Thank you 😊 Thank you🙏 Thank you!🌹
Yeahhh mel.. great timing. Thought provoking....😊👍
Yup I had just woke up and I'm telling my dad about my dream and dreams going on and on and I just see at the top of my phone and I go and tell my dad , dad guess at the top of my phone it says your dreams are no joke, he's like no way!!! Even I was blown away perfect timing. I feel the connection
Yaaaaay!!!! 1st like!! I so needed to see this Mel....im wide awake traveling in a hotel.....4am cant sleep. Then this video pops up!! I'm settling in my work vs my passion. Thank you so much Mel!!
WHOAAA...Oh, Mel. Way to talk "on my face", with no escape. Today is Thanksgiving. I don't know how to thank you enough for this video. I will be watching it so many times and letting it kick my butt with gusto. If it was an LP, it will be all scratched by then. Thank you. Oh my...
Well done! Thank you! I am beginning to see the possibilities. I'm reinventing myself at 50 because I've been a mess my whole life. It can be difficult to know the difference between talking myself out of a dream or goal and being aware of the consequences and negative aspects of "going for it."
I needed this Mel ❤❤❤ i'm feel so grateful for this video pop on my feed!!! 2023 is going to be the year of my dreams
Yes Joana. This will be a great year for you and I both. 2023 will be the best year of my life.
Olivia has successful podcast and is helping people.
I decided that too! 2022 was a rough year, and I'm still on the path of getting to know myself deeply, but I'm not afraid anymore. I'm 42 and have had a bad marriage, but for the last 2 1/2 years I have been growing. I'm so scared some days of taking the steps, but I'm no longer afraid of being alone, or being not good enough, and that feels good. I'm afraid of where I'm going, but I'm going anyways! I stepped into 2023 like I'm stepping into a new life. I take care of me, and then my kids, and then my husband if he's open to it. And if he's not, it's no longer disappointing.
I'm in my 70s and have had a dream since I was a teenager: to have a relationship with a man who is romantic, a bit shy, truthful, loyal, is charismatic, a musician, who appreciates cultural activities, loves animals. I finally found him when I heard a voice outside my head saying "Be in his life" and my dream includes getting to know him better and segue into a loving permanent relationship. The only problem is he's met me only once and I don't know if I should pursue this.
"Best Decade Ever" here, Mel. Two of my dreams have changed over the years. One peaked in March. At 69, I've started a new business. I love it, it is NOT easy, but yes it is exciting to wake up with a purpose and I'm still learning from you. I adored this podcast. 🌻
Thank you so much! ❤️💕I‘ll also move back where I loved to be. I do not lie to myself, but what I iearned is: do not share your dreams with anyone until you‘ve done them! I had everything in my hands, but, things happens. Keep your dreams for yourself untill you‘ve done them.
Hearing this podcast it's like you are my primary motivation coach Mel. You're like my trainer or mentor without spending any costs of dollar. You are the best Mel, thanks!
Brilliant! So much wisdom. Wasted too many years and lost too many wonderful opportunities because I listened to others who - in reality - were just thinking of themselves and how they might be affected and what they might lose, without truly thinking how it would affect me. No more - ALL of our dreams matter :)
Thank you for this! I'm 52 and never married. I have a deep desire to live in a warmer climate in my dream space, be married to the love of my life and share life together, and be part of a community of like minded people to create a new family that I never had! I let anxiety and fear and health symptoms hold me back to stay safe. My health has been a wake up call and how life is precious. I've felt stuck the last 3 years after a breakup and lived in a space and area I don't even enjoy. I appreciate your stand for us to make the change!
hey i am in the same situation in my 50 56years single never found anyone no children this is a community of support
Mel, put a video of your daughter doing her thing and fan her flame!🔥Yes, it’s bold, but when one truly loves to do a particular activity, one just loves to do it regardless . I hope she jumps for this opportunity!😊
Ah, thanks a lot Mel. I was trying to forget about that very pricey Gucci purse 👜 and now it’s on my dream list!!
One of my favorite ladies is Iris Apfel who became famous for her style at 84 years old and she is still going at a 101. She is an icon!!
As far as reaching a degree of notoriety that one desires is not as important as doing what one enjoys no matter what!
OMG. I have goosebumps right now cos I was harping on this thought for the past few days and BAM you just verbalized my frustrations and yes I've treated my dreams like a joke. Cried while watching this. I've been so mean to myself justifying that I just Can't .
Thanks Mel! I’m planning something big and it’s scared out of me. Instead of putting the energy on fear, I’m going to plan something even bigger than I want to be! Let’s FAN the flame inside of me💥🔥
“Be who God meant you to be and you will set the world on fire.”
-St. Catherine of Sienna
Your flame doesn’t die when you die.
Your flame just gets brighter, or hotter depending on where you end up.
See to it that your dream incorporates ending up in the right place. Eternity is a long time to be wrong about.
“You have made us for yourself O’Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in you.”
-St. Augustine, Confessions
When you said to stop being small that hit home ❤
AYEE PERFECT TIMING! Was on a Mobbin Mel playlist I made about dreams hit a random slump in life and got this notification.

Hey..you own a clothing store? one of my dreams is to have GRETCHIES STRETCHIES in at least one shop I'm every state. They are the best scrunchies and get rave reviews! ( I've been making them for 26 years.😁
I love you Mel. I met you just at the right time. There has not been one person who has inspired more than you in my entire life and I JUST started listening to you a week ago …
I am just crying reading this. And wrote a poem. It reminded me of my old dream of being an actress and a writer. Thank you so much Mel.

When you feel a calling towards something, it’s always for a reason.
Thank you Mel for an amazing message!! You are right, it's in the air. I do have to say though, no need for cursing. Ever. Way to go!!
Your awesome Mel
Thank you Mel
❤ U , Please tell your daughter and your friends sister I totally know their dreams will come true. ❤ Life is beautiful, thank you for reminding us. You rock young lady!
I LOVE this so much! Needing this reminder as I push forward into chasing my dreams. I've made excuses long enough!
Speaking of my dreams, one is to be on a podcast with you! Either you on mine or a shot like... hi on yours. You inspire and help me so much! Your last episode helped me just show up and record my next episode for Tuesday even when I'm exhausted and have sick kiddos and it's not what I wanted.
Thank you so so much! Thankful for who you are and all you put out into the world!
I love you Mel and needed to hear this today. It’s my 48th birthday today 🎉and I’m going to my restaurant job as a hostess. I like my job but my dream is to be a full time artist. I battle daily with simultaneously appreciating what I have in my current life and also wanting more from it. I still have half of the episode left so I will finish it now and be inspired. Thank you for your good work ❤
Not heard of this effect and im Lithuanian wount even try to type it. We live and learn everyday. Thank you Mel for all your hard work. It gives us so much more than getting out of our gray lives. You are awesome!!
You are the freaking best Mel!!!! Thank you thank you thank you for your powerful Energy and inspiration. Thank you for giving so much. Let's get to work!!!
Mel! Great timing. Too long a story to sum up in a moment but just today I again started working on my dream of using my God given talents to be a creative entrepreneur. As I was in tge process of creating, I listened to yoyr inspiring message. I am 65! I have quite a testimony . I hope to one day..maybe in two years be a guest on your show and give my testimony in relation to this talk. I'm also a believer in God , whom I believe created me. I believe it is Him who put the desire of entrepreneurship in me as a young girl. It also runs in my family's blood. Lol. It won't be easy but it's " my dream." Thank you for your hard work in sharing so much time to help those who wanna listen , learn, and grow. ❣️
Right! Yes! "If you're not for it (in neutral/arguing it!), you're against it!! Thank you Mel, once again!
