Steve Maraboli, Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience

"It's funny how, in this journey of life, even though we may begin at different times and places, our paths cross with others so that we may share our love, compassion, observations, and hope. This is a design of God that I appreciate and cherish."

"The truth is, unless you let go, unless you forgive yourself, unless you forgive the situation, unless you realize that the situation is over, you cannot move forward."

"I will not try to convince you to love me, to respect me, to commit to me. I deserve better than that; I AM BETTER THAN THAT...Goodbye."

"Live Today! Do not allow your spirit to be softened of your happiness to be limited by a day you cannot have back or a day that does not yet exist."

"If you have a goal, write it down. If you do not write it down, you do not have a goal - you have a wish."

"Recognize that throughout this beautiful day,you have an incredible amount of opportunities to move your life into the direction you want it to go."

"Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you."

"Our moral economy went bankrupt long before our financial one."

"A lot of the conflict you have in your life exists simply because you're not living in alignment; you're not be being true to yourself."

"This moment is yours and yours alone! Take charge, seize this moment and allow it to propel you to the high levels of an empowered life. Allow upon this fertile moment to be planted the seeds of your happiness and success."

"When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves."

"When you are just EXISTING, life happens to you… and you manage; when you are truly LIVING, you happen to life… and you lead."

"Don't give up! It's not over. The universe is balanced. Every set-back bears with it the seeds of a come-back."

"You are not on a journey to God; you are on a journey WITH God."

"Do not dilute the truth of your potential. We often convince ourselves that we cannot change, that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives. That is simply not true. You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life. But you can't just wish it, you can't just hope it, you can't just want it... you have to LIVE it, BE it, DO it."

"You would not be here TODAY if YESTERDAY was your defining moment. LIVE THIS DAY and move towards your dreams."

"You are the point of origin for everything in your world: you set the standard for yourself."

"When you hold a grudge, you want someone else’s sorrow to reflect your level of hurt but the two rarely meet."

"People tend to be generous when sharing their nonsense, fear, and ignorance. And while they seem quite eager to feed you their negativity, please remember that sometimes the diet we need to be on is a spiritual and emotional one. Be cautious with what you feed your mind and soul. Fuel yourself with positivity and let that fuel propel you into positive action."

"Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!"
