Hey, it's your friend Mel and welcome to the Mel Robbins podcast. If right now you're unsure about what you should do next, or you feel stuck, or maybe you feel a little lost, or you feel like things are never going to change, well, I've got good news for you. First of all, it's just not true. Things can change. And even better, there are three questions that you need to ask yourself right now, today, with your friend Mal Robins.

And what I love about these three questions is that they were created by two legendary professors at Stanford University. You're going to love this because when you ask yourself these three questions, the questions show you something simple. They show you how to change your mindset. They help you see new possibilities. I'm so excited about this because by the time you and I are done talking today or you're done watching this, a whole new future is going to appear for you.

You're going to see options where right now you might not see any options because you feel so stuck. And you don't have to take my word for it because these questions have been developed over time. They are part of a New York Times best-selling book. They are part of a process called the Odyssey Plan. And that's what you and I are going to do today.
