Quotes by Steve Maraboli

Dare to BeWhen a new day begins, dare to smile gratefully.When there is darkness, dare to be the first to shine a light.When there is injustice, dare to be the first to condemn it.When something seems difficult, dare to do it anyway.When life seems to beat you down, dare to fight back.When there seems to be no hope, dare to find some.When you’re feeling tired, dare to keep going.When times are tough, dare to be tougher.When love hurts you, dare to love again.When someone is hurting, dare to help them heal.When another is lost, dare to help them find the way.When a friend falls, dare to be the first to extend a hand.When you cross paths with another, dare to make them smile.When you feel great, dare to help someone else feel great too.When the day has ended, dare to feel as you’ve done your best.Dare to be the best you can –At all times, Dare to be!

Letting go means to come to the realization that some people are a part of your history, but not a part of your destiny.

If people refuse to look at you in a new light and they can only see you for what you were, only see you for the mistakes youve made, if they dont realize that you are not your mistakes, then they have to go.

Cry. Forgive. Learn. Move on. Let your tears water the seeds of your future happiness.

Incredible change happens in your life when you decide to take control of what you do have power over instead of craving control over what you dont.

Sometimes life knocks you on your ass... get up, get up, get up!!! Happiness is not the absence of problems, its the ability to deal with them.

How would your life be different if…You stopped making negative judgmental assumptions about people you encounter? Let today be the day…You look for the good in everyone you meet and respect their journey.

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.

At the end of the day, let there be no excuses, no explanations, no regrets.

We all make mistakes, have struggles, and even regret things in our past. But you are not your mistakes, you are not your struggles, and you are here NOW with the power to shape your day and your future.

Make a pact with yourself today to not be defined by your past. Sometimes the greatest thing to come out of all your hard work isnt what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You...Be Free...Share.

You must learn to let go. Release the stress. You were never in control anyway.

Get Off The Scale!You are beautiful. Your beauty, just like your capacity for life, happiness, and success, is immeasurable. Day after day, countless people across the globe get on a scale in search of validation of beauty and social acceptance.Get off the scale! I have yet to see a scale that can tell you how enchanting your eyes are. I have yet to see a scale that can show you how wonderful your hair looks when the sun shines its glorious rays on it. I have yet to see a scale that can thank you for your compassion, sense of humor, and contagious smile. Get off the scale because I have yet to see one that can admire you for your perseverance when challenged in life.It’s true, the scale can only give you a numerical reflection of your relationship with gravity. That’s it. It cannot measure beauty, talent, purpose, life force, possibility, strength, or love. Don’t give the scale more power than it has earned. Take note of the number, then get off the scale and live your life. You are beautiful!

It is important that we forgive ourselves for making mistakes. We need to learn from our errors and move on.

If you hang out with chickens, youre going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, youre going to fly.

Renew, release, let go. Yesterday’s gone. There’s nothing you can do to bring it back. You can’t “should’ve” done something. You can only DO something. Renew yourself. Release that attachment. Today is a new day!

How would your life be different if…You walked away from gossip and verbal defamation? Let today be the day…You speak only the good you know of other people and encourage others to do the same.

Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Dont sweat tomorrow - you havent even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.

Life doesn’t get easier or more forgiving, we get stronger and more resilient.

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, hes up!
