Quotes by Steve Maraboli

One of lifes challenging realizations is that sometimes you outgrow your friends.

Cutting out drama... Healthy mind and body choices... Intent followed by action... Keeping real friends and letting go of the pretends... Livin clean for Twenty Seventeen!

Through the twist and turns of life, I find myself so grateful for my friends. Even though sometimes the days can seem so dark, and my heart can feel so hurt, I am never alone; my friends are beside me.

Nothing is so unpopular as positive change amongst friends. It seems when you change for the better, the people around you will be inspired to change… But only after trying their hardest to make you stop. Live your truth and dont EVER let anyone dilute your power to change!

Friendship is a beautiful blessing. You may love your friends and they may love you, but that doesn’t mean they should have unexamined influence in all areas of your life.

By surrounding yourself with people who are positive, caring, intelligent, loving, and open-minded, you create a personal environment that is conducive to your emotional and personal growth. By surrounding yourself with the opposite, you create a personal environment that is conducive to the opposite. Choose accordingly.

Be mindful of your social environment. By nature, the group you hang-out with will develop a common behavior and mindset. This behavior usually gravitates towards the lowest common denominator. Choose your group wisely.

Make sure your business is creating a service experience so good that it demands loyalty.

Many companies expect loyal customers without providing loyal service. This has been the visionary failure of countless corporations.

When you put yourself in the customer’s shoes and begin your dialog from there, an immediate connection develops that stems beyond basic commerce and encourages loyalty.

As a business leader you have to ask yourself, “Am I creating a consumer environment that is conducive to loyalty?” If the answer is no, FIX IT!

The efforts of a leader will be emulated. Depending on the quality of appointed leadership, this can be medicine or poison to a living business.

The most successful businesses have leaders that see the correlation between customer service and sales… not as separate departments, but as complimentary components for growth.

Most board meetings amount to little more than intellectual masturbation. They are ideas that cause thrills, chills, and satisfaction, but there is no impregnation. Nothing is ever born of them. It’s intellectual masturbation.

A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships.

Everyone wants to look great in the summer... Dont just dream, take action!Your journey to being a summer yummer starts today.

How would your life be different if you decided to live your dream instead of holding onto your nightmare? Let today be the day you free yourself from the fears that are holding you back and act upon the dream youve always had.

The dream is yours… why are you asking others to validate or nourish it? Your journey must be self-propelled. It must be fueled from within.

My life was forever changed the day I realized there was a big difference between having a dream and chasing it.

Dare to exhaust yourself with all the opportunities this day offers.
