Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"What do you think will be more effective when it comes to succeeding, believing you can or KNOWING you will? Let today be the last day you took timid steps of belief and start taking confident steps of purpose-driven knowing!"

"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."

"God’s word is not just to be heard and repeated, it is to be breathed, lived, and emulated with each action."

"Just an observation: it is impossible to be both grateful and depressed. Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up."

"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."

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

"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."

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

"Never compromise your values."

"Live life with a purpose and live it full out."

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

"Just an observation: it is impossible to be both grateful and depressed. Those with a grateful mindset tend to see the message in the mess. And even though life may knock them down, the grateful find reasons, if even small ones, to get up."

"A lack of clarity could put the brakes on any journey to success."

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

"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."

"Every single time you help somebody stand up you are helping humanity rise."

"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."

"Stop giving your life away to other people."

"Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions!"
