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."

"Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Instead, shake things up today! Live through today. Don’t just exist through it - LIVE through it!"

"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."

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

"The greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon."

"When we replace a sense of service and gratitude with a sense of entitlement and expectation, we quickly see the demise of our relationships, society, and economy."

"Some of the most powerful speeches I have given have been delivered in the dedicated silence of my actions."

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

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

"Take action! An inch of movement will bring you closer to your goals than a mile of intention."

"In your own life it's important to know how spectacular you are."

"BREAKING NEWS: You're awesome and designed for success; live this day accordingly!"

"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."

"I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves."

"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."

"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."

"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."

"Stop wasting your time looking for the key to happiness… the door is open and unlocked… just walk through it."

"The greatest love stories are not those in which love is only spoken, but those in which it is acted upon."

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