Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"Today is the only day in which we have any power."

"Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want."

"The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go."

"When you stop existing and you start truly living, each moment of the day comes alive with the wonder and synchronicity."

"Finding happiness should not be seen as finding a needle in a haystack. Happiness is within. Each day is a blessing that brings an abundance of happiness. Therefore, finding happiness should be like finding a gift in a stack of gifts."

"The greatest step towards a life of simplicity is to learn to let go."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey."

"It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on."

"How would your life be different if…You approached all relationships with authenticity and honesty? Let today be the day…You dedicate yourself to building relationships on the solid foundation of truth and authenticity."

"If you can transcend from the dark rut of disempowered thinking to the bright light of an empowered agreement with reality, you will see opportunities not barriers. You will see the finish line, not the hurdles."

"People who lack the clarity, courage, or determination to follow their own dreams will often find ways to discourage yours. When you change for the better, the people around you will be inspired to change also....but only after doing their best to make you stop. Live your truth and don't EVER stop."

"Those who have the ability to be grateful are the ones who have the ability to achieve greatness."

"It’s a lack of clarity that creates chaos and frustration. Those emotions are poison to any living goal."

"Free yourself from the complexities of your life! A life of simplicity and happiness awaits you."

"Simplify your life. You don't grow spiritual, you shrink spiritual."

"Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want."

"Never compromise your values."

"When you say "I"and "my"too much, you lose the capacity to understand the "we"and "our"."

"When forever becomes a place...when forever ceases to be just a word… when it ceases to be just a measurement of time…but instead becomes a place where soul mates can dance to the song in their hearts... that is a reflection of true love."

"Your greatest self has been waiting your whole life; don't make it wait any longer."
