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

"God didn’t give fear a body. God gave love a body."

"No matter what the cause, God is only as willing as you are."

"Think of the patience God has had for you and let it resonate to others. If you want a more patient world, let patience be your motto"

"It is our action that determines the viability of our dream."

"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."

"I want you to embark on the truth of loving yourself because when you love yourself and when you appreciate yourself, you will make healthy changes in your life for healthy reasons."

"Do not dilute the truth of your potential. We often convince ourselves that we cannot change, that we cannot overcome the circumstances of our lives. That is simply not true. You have been blessed with immeasurable power to make positive changes in your life. But you can't just wish it, you can't just hope it, you can't just want it... you have to LIVE it, BE it, DO it."

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

"Ideas and philosophies have a shelf-life. They must be kept fresh and renewed or they will spoil. If left unattended, the same ideas and philosophies that once nourished you and helped you grow can poison you and make you sick. Become aware of new ideas that can refresh your way of life and be open to the fact that your old ideas and philosophies can work for you for some time, but when the shelf-life has passed, those ideas and philosophies could also harm 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."

"We would do ourselves a tremendous favor by letting go of the people who poison our spirit."

"I Love Loving You You are my favorite song; a rhythm of beauty that captures my spirit. You are my favorite poem; an exquisite grouping of ideas set in motion with an unmatched enchanting elegance. You are my best friend; from our laughter to our deep conversations, our moments together are a timeless pleasure. You are my soul mate; a connection so pure, so powerful, that it can only be considered divine. You are my lover; a passionate entwinement, a chorus of ecstasy, and a feeling of complete unity that words could never adequately describe. You are my angel; you remind me of the goodness in this world and inspire me to be the greatest version of myself. You are my home; it is in your loving gaze that I find the comfort, acceptance, and the sense of belonging. You are my love ~ mi amor; there are not enough days in forever to allow me to fully express my love for you. I love loving you."

"Do you love yourself enough to BE what you love yourself enough to WANT?"

"It's up to you today to start making healthy choices. Not choices that are just healthy for your body, but healthy for your mind."

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

"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."

"Stop blaming outside circumstances for your inside chaos."

"The victim mindset dilutes the human potential. By not accepting personal responsibility for our circumstances, we greatly reduce our power to change them."

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

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