Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"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!"

"How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same."

"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!!"

"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."

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

"We must transcend the illusion that money or power has any bearing on our worthiness as children of God."

"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."

"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."

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

"Don’t be disheartened by the forces of evil. Nothing can happen that God hasn’t allowed. Even resistance is all part of grand orchestration. The devil always has you right were God wants you."

"Too much action with too little intent makes for wasteful exertion of energy and the confusion between movement and progress."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped validating your victim mentality? Let today be the day…You shake off your self-defeating drama and embrace your innate ability to recover and achieve."

"The purpose of empowerment is to urge you towards freedom, to help each of you to break free of all limitations. It is that freedom that will give you eternal happiness and finally connect you with the unconditional realization of TRUTH."

"Change is in the air. This change reminds us that we are made and beautifully sculpted by the same power that orchestrates the change of season. Let this be the season you embrace and align yourself with this change."

"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"

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

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

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

"Your life is a print-out of your thoughts."
