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

"If you want to find happiness, find gratitude."

"You have a unique gift to offer this world. Be true to yourself, be kind to yourself, read and learn about everything that interests you and keep away from people who bring you down. When you treat yourself kindly and respect the uniqueness of those around you, you will be giving this world an amazing gift... YOU!"

"In every ancient religious and sacred text, faith is a verb; a thing to be demonstrated. It is in modern days that we have diluted faith from an act to a philosophy."

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

"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."

"Just like your body and lifestyle can be healthy or unhealthy, the same is true with your beliefs. Your beliefs can be your medicine or your poison."

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

"A grateful mindset can set you free from the prison of disempowerment and the shackles of misery."

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

"You‘ve been given the innate power to shape your life."

"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."

"You are not a victim. No matter what you have been through, you're still here. You may have been challenged, hurt, betrayed, beaten, and discouraged, but nothing has defeated you. You are still here! You have been delayed but not denied. You are not a victim, you are a victor. You have a history of victory."

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

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

"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."

"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."

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

"You have had a dream for so many years. Let today be the day you make a plan for it. Just think about how much more likely you are to hit your target when you finally aim at it."

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

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