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

"It doesn't matter if you're 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100. Embrace your sexy-ass self and express it!"

"The art of letting go is simply about personal empowerment. Realizing what you’re in charge of, realizing what you control, and more importantly, what you don’t control."

"Stay away from people who gossip and spread rumors. They are choosing the path of emotional bullying and negativity."

"Many great ideas, great love stories, and great achievements are born from a healthy irrationality."

"When I was young, I used to wish I would fit in… I’m glad I didn’t get my wish."

"It takes bravery to recognize where in your life you are your own poison... it takes courage to do something about it."

"We can spend today joyously celebrating potential by acting upon our purpose, or we can spend it mourning the days and opportunities gone by… the first will find you amongst the few who are content and accomplished; the latter will find you with the suffering majority as you exhaustedly swim in the ocean of regret."

"Fear waters the weeds of regret."

"Cemeteries are full of unfulfilled dreams... countless echoes of 'could have' and 'should have'… Don’t choose to walk the well-worn path to regret."

"Don’t choose to walk the well-worn path to regret."

"When the world makes me feel like I am alone, love reminds me otherwise."

"Sometimes in the quest for enlightenment the only thing that gets lighter is your wallet."

"Where it Matters Being with you today is worth all the broken hearts of yesterday. In a flash, all of the stumbling blocks of relationships gone wrong have become the stepping stones to our perfect love. We fit. I now understand the feeling I used to think was pain that came along with love was actually the discomfort from being in a place I didn’t fit. Thank you for being you… for sharing your love with me… for inspiring me to accept myself… for helping me see the unique beauty in imperfection… for showing me that love is something you do; something not just to be said, but also to be shown. I am not perfect; neither are you. I love that!Our love is perfect. And even though we may not be, our love creates a bridge that spans over our imperfections and joins us where it matters. I love you!"

"Being with you today is worth all the broken hearts of yesterday."

"Batshit Kind of Love The type of love that can’t be described with words…The type of love that can’t be measured by time…The type of love that inspires haters to hate…The type of love that makes no sense to those around you…The type of love that exists in the beautiful eyes in which you can see all of your tomorrows… all of your children and grandchildren…The type of love that makes you feel like forever will not be long enough…The type of love that is born out of a relationship that is built on honor, respect, and truth... That is our love... That is our connection... The batshit kind of love that makes no sense at all… and at the same time… all the sense in the world…That is us…You and me; a “WE."

"Love encompasses so much, reaches so far, and heals so deeply, that any attempt to describe it, no matter how poetic, only dilutes it."

"Forever is a measure of time used by people who share an ordinary love. Our extraordinary love is immeasurable...for us, forever just won’t do."

"When you finally meet the right one for you, it suddenly becomes clear why everyone else was so wrong."

"When we see someone or something as imperfect, it is a reflection of our limitations, not theirs."

"Sometimes love can be both the punishment and the crime."
