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

"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."

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

"I'm not crying because of you; you're not worth it. I'm crying because my delusion of who you were was shattered by the truth of who you are."

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."

"Each day gives the opportunity for you to be treated right, to feel worthy, and to be successful. It’s a choice you have to make, a faith you have to embrace, and a standard you have to set."

"The universe doesn't give you what you want in your mind; it gives you what you demand with your actions."

"Think of the patience God has had for you and let it resonate to others. If you want a more patient world, let patience be your motto"

"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!"

"Not matter what your sacred or religious book is, it's not how well you know the book, it's how well you're in alignment with the author."

"Live your truth. Express your love. Share your enthusiasm. Take action towards your dreams. Walk your talk. Dance and sing to your music. Embrace your blessings. Make today worth remembering."

"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."

"There are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express the depth of my love for you."

"Sometimes it's the same moments that take your breath away that breathe purpose and love back into your life."

"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."

"If you fuel your journey on the opinions of others, you are going to run out of gas."

"A beautiful thing happens when we start paying attention to each other. It is by participating more in your relationship that you breathe life into it."

"The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them."

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

"I am so grateful for my troubles. As I reflect back on my life, I have come to realize that my greatest triumphs have been born of my greatest troubles."

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