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

"Happiness is a state of mind, a choice, a way of living; it is not something to be achieved, it is something to be experienced."

"Everything is easier said than done. Wanting something is easy. Saying something is easy. The challenge and the reward are in the doing."

"I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I'm still here. I have a history of victory."

"My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me."

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

"Do not sabotage your new relationship with your last relationship’s poison."

"Stop waiting for the perfect day or the perfect moment... Take THIS day, THIS moment and lead it to perfection."

"We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future."

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

"Become the leader of your life. Lead yourself to where you want to be. Breathe life back into your ambitions, your desires, your goals, your relationships."

"I am not a victim. No matter what I have been through, I'm still here. I have a history of victory."

"Sometimes letting go is simply changing the labels you place on an event. Looking at the same event with fresh eyes."

"Don't wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly... lead the way!"

"There is great change to be experienced once you learn the power of letting go. Stop allowing anyone or anything to control, limit, repress, or discourage you from being your true self! Today is YOURS to shape - own it - break free from people and things that poison or dilute your spirit."

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

"Start shaping your own day. Start walking your own walk. This journey is yours, take charge of it. Stop giving other people the power to shape your life."

"God is the name we give to the science we don't understand. Science is the name we give to the God we don't understand."

"Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature."

"There is nothing more beautiful than seeing a person being themselves. Imagine going through your day being unapologetically you."

"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."
