Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"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."

"Happiness has to do with your mindset, not with outside circumstance."

"Accept yourself, your strengths, your weaknesses, your truths, and know what tools you have to fulfill your purpose."

"A kind gesture can reach a wound that only compassion can heal."

"Never compromise your values."

"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!"

"You have the ability to choose your reactions."

"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."

"Intent without dedicated action is simply not enough. Action without a clear intent is a waste. It is when these two powerful forces are aligned that the energy of the universe conspires in your favor."

"Stop giving your life away to other people."

"Let today be the day you stop having conflict between your actions and your goals and finally align your greatest intent with your purposeful actions, creating a universal symphony serenading your success!"

"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."

"You cannot continue on the same path and arrive at a different destination. Make the choice to have your actions reflect your goals."

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

"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."

"Don’t tell me about your god with your words. Show me about your god with your actions."

"How would your life be different if…You didn’t allow yourself to be defined by your past? Let today be the day…You stop letting your history interfere with your destiny and awaken to the opportunity to release your greatest self."

"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."

"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."

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