It's amazing to me how hard people work to maintain a life they hate.
~ Steve Maraboli
The problem you have isn't a delusion of grandeur, it's a delusion of insignificance.
There are some people whose turbulent waves of behaviors will drown you no matter how well you think you can swim.
When civility is illusory, war is inevitable.
Maybe we feel empty because we spend so much of our own time watching other people live their lives, chase their dreams, express their love, and navigate their relationships. And when we turn off our TV or put down our phone... We've nourished nothing of our own.
Take accountability... Blame is the water in which many dreams and relationships drown.
Resolutions: So many will fail; NOT because they didn't set goals, but because they didn't set behaviors.
Freedom is more than just a patriotic concept, it is the purest intent of our design. Be you. Be free. Be nice.
You'll drive yourself crazy trying to control something that isn't yours to control. Let go. Free yourself. Allow your mind and energy to focus on something positive… to build something beautiful.
The tragic brilliance of politics and control is found in the ability to get the masses arguing over which poison they should drink.
Only insecure boys will belittle a woman. The greatest way to man-up is to empower women.
There is no greater force for change than people inspired to live a better life.
The universe is so well balanced that the mere fact that you have a problem also serves as a sign that there is a solution.
CHANGE: Don’t just talk about it, go out there and do it. Don’t just meditate about it, go out there and create it. Don’t just pray about it go out there and take action; participate in the answering of your own prayer. If you want change, get out there and live it. - Steve Maraboli
They didn’t change, they just got tired of pretending.
Don’t ask me to apologize for holding up a mirror. If you don’t like what it’s reflecting, take accountability and change it.
It’s amazing how drastically your life can change when you stop accepting shit you hate.
By choosing healthy over skinny you are choosing self-love over self-judgment. You are beautiful!
It's hard not to stand in awe and enchantment with the beauty in which nature expresses herself.
Life is like an ocean; an endlessly elegant dance between serenity and chaos. And while idly watching this can be so beautiful, that’s not what life is for. Don’t just stand on the shore… jump in!
Don’t settle… wait for the one who treats you like an investment, not a test drive. Someone who inspires you to be at your best… One who looks beyond your outer beauty and falls in love with your soul.
Don’t give up! Remember, we love to be enchanted by flowers in bloom… but don’t forget that it took many rainy days to achieve such beauty. Your bloom is coming!
Some people insist on inviting me to their drama buffet... No thanks! My soul hungers for nourishment and growth, it doesn't lust for poison and depletion.
Friends are medicine for a wounded heart and vitamins for a hopeful soul.
The wiser I become, the less I think beauty has anything to do with appearance.
Map out lofty goals… include reasonable checkpoints along the way... refine, improve, and enhance your behavior in alignment with your goals…. that is the dynamic of true leadership and the formula for success.
The art of effective leadership is about navigating the dynamics of growth and success… holding a vision and leading a team, but arriving at the same time.
Stagnancy will suffocate a business… Leadership must be dynamic and evolving to ensure successful growth, enhancement, and longevity.
With automobile accidents, mechanical failure is seldom the cause; and most often, operator error. I find the same to be true with corporate failings…. the people are rarely the issue… the shortcoming is most often found in the leadership.
Leadership is a mindset in which one is unapologetically driven towards their goals and in behaving accordingly, inspires those around them to join in.
Leadership is the bridge of integrity that connects goals, desires, and actions.
It has been my experience that those who claim to be the most spiritual are usually the least so.
I keep hearing about a spiritual awakening, but I feel what we need instead, is a human one. It would be wonderful and empowering to become free from the disillusionment and nonsense being sold to us from gurus for centuries.
Actions reveal… If you have to TELL me you’re honest, caring, generous, spiritual, kind, loving, and a good person... you’re doing it wrong.
History reveals there is no moral high ground, there is only perspective. We often exhibit the same behaviors for which we condemn others.
I don't know what's wrong with this world, but I do know what's right with it: Love. I have studied enough history to see that no matter how cruel the behavior of tyrants and no matter how dark the moments have been, Love has always prevailed. Always.
When people tell me they can’t afford to join a gym, I tell them to go outside; planet Earth is a gym and we’re already members. Run, climb, sweat, and enjoy all of the natural wonder that is available to you.
It is love’s nature to be expressed.
It's a cycle... Religion is a source of relief for those who seek to anesthetize the pain that comes from following its beliefs.
The path to misery is paved by the tears of those trying to make others happy.
