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

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

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

"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."

"While spirituality provides an efficient and endless fuel for your mind and body, you must burn that fuel with human action towards your goals, dreams, and desires."

"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."

"In moments of prayer, people tend to pose as a critic and point out percieved flaws in God's art."

"Free yourself from the burden of feeling the need to hold on to anything. Let go… you are a part of everything."

"No matter what the cause, God is only as willing as you are."

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

"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."
