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

"Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better."

"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."

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

"Stop lying to yourself. When we deny our own truth, we deny our own potential."

"Tomorrow will never call to ask your opinion; you don't control it. Stop allowing today's possibilities to be robbed by tomorrow's insecurities."

"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."

"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."

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

"If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly."

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"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 wait for other people to be loving, giving, compassionate, grateful, forgiving, generous, or friendly... lead the way!"

"The strength of a man isn't seen in the power of his arms. It's seen in the love with which he EMBRACES you."

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

"Faith is the poetry of our dreams; action is the builder of our reality."

"My life changed the day I moved beyond just wishing for things and I started earning them. That is the day I learned that we don't get what we wish for, we get what we work for."
