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

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

"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."

"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."

"Let today be the day you finally release yourself from the imprisonment of past grudges and anger. Simplify your life. Let go of the poisonous past and live the abundantly beautiful present... today."

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

"There is nothing more rare, nor more beautiful, than a woman being unapologetically herself; comfortable in her perfect imperfection. To me, that is the true essence of beauty."

"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."

"It's not always what we don't know that gets in our way; sometimes it's what we think we know that keeps us from learning."

"Want to keep Christ in Christmas? Feed the hungry, clothe the naked, forgive the guilty, welcome the unwanted, care for the ill, love your enemies, and do unto others as you would have done unto you."

"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."

"This life is for loving, sharing, learning, smiling, caring, forgiving, laughing, hugging, helping, dancing, wondering, healing, and even more loving. I choose to live life this way. I want to live my life in such a way that when I get out of bed in the morning, the devil says, 'aw shit, he's up!"

"YOU are your love of a lifetime."

"Do the best you can, with what you can, while you can, and success in inevitable."

"Rise to the challenge of bringing your dreams to life! Do not be discouraged by resistance, be nourished by it. Success is the experience of rising to the level of your true greatness."

"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."

"Challenges in life can either enrich you or poison you. You are the one who decides."

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

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

"Life itself is simple...it's just not easy."

"Sometimes letting go is simply changing the labels you place on an event. Looking at the same event with fresh eyes."
