Quotes by Mel Robbins
- Before you hold a grudge, hold a conversation.
- Change is a process, not an event.
- Change isn’t easy, but it’s possible and it’s worth it. And you are capable of it.
- Change your decisions and you'll change your life. And what will change your decisions more than anything? Courage.
- Focusing on what you can't control makes you stressed. Focusing on what you can control makes you powerful.
- Forgive others, not because they deserve forgiveness, but because you deserve peace.
- Growth is painful. But nothing is as painful as staying stuck somewhere you don’t belong.
- I don’t understand why everyone is afraid of failing when it hurts so much more to miss out on everything that you dream of because you lack the courage to try.
- If something causes friction in your life: Remove it, improve it, or do something different. Those are your only options to make your life better.
- If you don’t have your own goals, you’ll end up working towards someone else’s.
- If you have the courage to start, you have the courage to succeed.
- If you only ever did the things you don't want to do, you'd have everything you've ever wanted.
- It’s easy to get stuck in your first plan. Don’t give up when that one fails (and it probably will). Take what you learned and change the plan, not your resolve to achieve the goal.
- It's not the big moves that change everything—it's the smallest ones in your everyday life that do.
- It's okay to be scared. Being scared means you're about to do something really, really brave.
- Motivation is garbage. You don’t need to feel like it to do it. You need discipline. A push. A decision. Waiting to feel ready is the fastest way to stay stuck. You want change? 5-4-3-2-1 move.
- No matter how small the step, forward is forward.
- One small win before 9 AM sets the tone for 9 PM. Make your bed. Go for a walk. Journal for 10 minutes. Momentum is built, not gifted.
- Optimism isn’t believing nothing bad will happen. It’s about believing in your ability to handle it when it does.
- Prove that you believe in yourself by investing in your dreams.
- Regret doesn’t come from failure. It comes from giving up.
- Start before you're ready. Don't prepare, begin.
- Stop telling yourself it won’t happen. Start doing the work to make it happen. You CAN create the life you dream about. Drop the excuses and go do it.
- Stop thinking about it. Stop worrying about it. Start doing something about it.
- Stop using what others might think as an excuse to not try.
- The fastest road to an unhappy life is living it in a way that makes other people happy but leaves you miserable.
- The future is not something you wait for. It’s something your create.
- The goal isn’t to get rid of all your negative thoughts and feelings. The goal is to change your response to them.
- The hard stuff will always be hard. The scary stuff will always be scary. It won’t ever feel easy and you won’t ever feel like doing it. The real way to move forward is knowing that you can push yourself. You can do it anyway. That’s how you succeed.
- The only person you can control is YOU. So stop getting mad at people for not being who you want them to be.
- The problem with waiting is no one is coming. The only permission you need is your own.
- The single most empowering thing you can do is take responsibility for yourself, 100% of the time.
- The truth is, you already know what you want, you’re just scared of looking stupid. Let Them judge. Let Them laugh. Let Them think whatever they want. Just don’t let that be the reason you never go for it.
- There will always be someone who can't see your worth. Don't let it be you
- There’s a clock ticking that none of us can see, and at some point you life will be over. There’s power available to your right now to make the most of the time you do have.
- Unsuccessful people make decisions based on their current situations. Successful people make decisions based on where they want to be.

- When you talk about your dreams stop saying “I want” and start saying “I will.
- You are not your bad days.
