Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

"Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today."

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

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

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

"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."

"Today, many will choose to live free of conditions and rules governing their own happiness. Why not you? Do not let another day go by where your dedication to other people's opinions is greater than your dedication to your own emotions! Today's a new day!"

"You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable."

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

"How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey."

"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."

"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!"

"The universe doesn’t give you what you ask for with your thoughts - it gives you what you demand with your actions."

"Today is the only day in which we have any power."

"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."

"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."

"NEVER be surprised by your own success!"

"Once your mindset changes, everything on the outside will change along with it."

"As for biblical or religious theory, I don’t ever want to fight about the details of the story, I want to live the reality of the message."

"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."

"How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey."
