Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you don't."

"The right thing to do and the hard thing to do are usually the same."

"Are you going to allow the world around you to change while you remain stagnant? Make this the time you throw away old habits that have hindered your happiness and success and finally allow your greatest self to flourish."

"I want to be in a relationship where you telling me you love me is just a ceremonious validation of what you already show me."

"You were put on this earth to achieve your greatest self, to live out your purpose, and to do it courageously."

"Never question the power of one! Throughout history it has been the actions of only one person who has in inspired the movement of change."

"If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes you've made, if they don't realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go."

"At any given moment the choice to be happy is present- we just have to choose to be happy."

"Stop allowing your day-to-day life to be clouded by busy nothingness."

"Love has no limitations. It cannot be measured. It has no boundaries. Although many have tried, love is indefinable."

"Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us."

"Free yourself from the complexities and drama of your life. Simplify. Look within. Within ourselves we all have the gifts and talents we need to fulfill the purpose we've been blessed with."

"You can't just wish change; you have to live the change in order for it to become a reality."

"The road to success is always under construction."

"At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets."

"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."

"When you establish a destination by defining what you want, then take physical action by making choices that move you towards that destination, the possibility for success is limitless and arrival at the destination is inevitable."

"We can't undo a single thing we have ever done, but we can make decisions today that propel us to the life we want and towards the healing we need."

"No matter what your history has been, your destiny is what you create today. What are you going to create?"

"NEVER be surprised by your own success!"
