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

"There is nothing worse for the lying soul than the mirror of reality."

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

"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."

"It’s time to care; it’s time to take responsibility; it’s time to lead; it’s time for a change; it’s time to be true to our greatest self; it’s time to stop blaming others."

"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."

"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."

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

"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."

"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."

"When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others, he makes others jealous of his woman."

"Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you."

"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."

"There is nothing worse for the lying soul than the mirror of reality."

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

"You would not be here TODAY if YESTERDAY was your defining moment. LIVE THIS DAY and move towards your dreams."

"There is a difference between talented people and gifted people.Talented people are good AT something; Gifted people ARE that something."

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

"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!"

"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."

"When you are just EXISTING, life happens to you… and you manage; when you are truly LIVING, you happen to life… and you lead."
