Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"Your dream is a reality that is waiting for you to materialize. Today is a new day! Don’t let your history interfere with your destiny! Learn from your past so that it can empower your present and propel you to greatness"

"Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, it's the ability to deal with them."

"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."

"Free yourself from the inauthenticity and disempowerment of your story."

"Although time seems to fly, it never travels faster than one day at a time. Each day is a new opportunity to live your life to the fullest. In each waking day, you will find scores of blessings and opportunities for positive change. Do not let your TODAY be stolen by the unchangeable past or the indefinite future! Today is a new day!"

"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."

"You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway."

"Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding."

"The greatest enemy to fear is truth."

"Scholars, theologians, and even poets have yet to be able to truly describe and touch upon the beauty, romance, and magic of a relationship built on 100% authenticity"

"The value of a moment is immeasurable. The power of just ONE moment can propel you to success and happiness or chain you to failure and misery."

"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."

"If you're not comfortable enough with yourself or with your own truth when entering a relationship, then you're not ready for that relationship."

"Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding."

"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."

"It doesn't matter what you did or where you were...it matters where you are and what you're doing. Get out there! Sing the song in your heart and NEVER let anyone shut you up!!"

"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."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped allowing other people to dilute or poison your day with their words or opinions? Let today be the day…You stand strong in the truth of your beauty and journey through your day without attachment to the validation of others"

"Interrupt your thoughts of "I should", with your action of doing."
