Mel Robbins

“You aren't battling your ability to stick to a diet, execute a business plan, repair a broken marriage and rebuild your life, hit your goals, or win over a bad manager- you are battling your feelings about doing it. You are more than capable of doing the work to change anything for the better, despite how you feel. Feelings are merely suggestions, ones you can ignore. To change you must do the same, you must ignore how you feel, and just do it anyway.”

“Win or lose, at least I'm doing something.”

“There's a lot of buzz words in the business world these days - Design thinking, innovation, fast-failure, disruption, cross-functional leadership - and at the heart of every one of these concepts is the ability for people to make small moves forward, learn, iterate.”

“The more generous you are, the easier and more satisfying and fun your life is. And it took me so long.”

“Never in my lifetime has there been more misogyny on display than during the 2016 election. It was disgusting. The biggest offender: Donald Trump.”

“You have been assigned this mountain so that you can show others it can be moved.”

“We want to believe that we live in a world where our daughters can do anything and be anything. And you'd think they could - they outnumber boys in college, graduate school, and the work force.”

“'Time Magazine' declared Hillary Clinton the 'perfect' age to be president because she's a postmenopausal woman who is 'biologically primed' to lead.”

“When Trump says no one loves women more than he does, what exactly is he referring to? Fantasizing about them on the 'Access Hollywood' bus? Placing them only in professional roles that answer to him?”

“If science doesn't convince you, just Google 'cheating politicians' for the long and sordid list of men - like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mark Sanford, and John Edwards - whose hormones got the best of them.”

“The moment you feel yourself hesitate on something you know you should do, count 5-4-3-2-1 to activate your prefrontal cortex and interrupt the habit of overthinking, self-doubt, and fear.”

“Life is about growth and exploration, not achieving a fixed state of balance. You have a very limited time on earth to experience all that you can. Figuring out how to squeeze the most out of your family, work, and spirituality is your life's purpose. Go do it.”

“Everything about your life, about your body, grows! Your cells regenerate; your hair, your nails, everything grows for your entire life. And your soul needs exploration and growth. And the only way you'll get it is by forcing yourself to be uncomfortable. Forcing yourself to get outside, out of your head.”

“My job gives me the permission to ask really great questions, like, 'Are you sure you're not pissed at him?' or, 'Is the eating really about food, or does it have something to do with your mother?' or, 'How is your sex life? I mean, I know we're here talking about your job, but I can tell this has to do with your sex life.'”

“We make decisions based on what we feel in the moment.”

“You always know. You have basic needs, and when they aren't met, your body sends signals. Hunger, loneliness, exhaustion, thirst, and fear are all signals that something is missing, and you need to act on it now.”

“There is no shame in wanting to age naturally or wanting to 'age gracefully' with a little help from products or procedures.”

“I may not be perfect, but I am worthy.”

“You can quit smoking and lose weight at the same time.”

“You have something unique that no one else has - your life experience. That's the power of you.”
