“Although the world is full of suffering, it is full also of the overcoming of it.”

Helen Keller

“I will not try to convince you to love me, to respect me, to commit to me. I deserve better than that; I AM BETTER THAN THAT…Goodbye.”

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

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

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

“However mean your life is, meet it and live it; do not shun it and call it hard names. It is not so bad as you are. It looks poorest when you are richest. The fault-finder will find faults even in paradise. Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its door as early in the spring. I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there, and have as cheering thoughts, as in a palace.”

Henry David Thoreau, Walden

“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 isn’t what you get for it, but what you become for it. Shake things up today! Be You…Be Free…Share.”

Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

“Circumstances are the rulers of the weak; they are but the instruments of the wise.”

Samuel Lover, Rory O’More

“The strongest people find the courage and caring to help others, even if they are going through their own storm.”

Roy T. Bennett, The Light in the Heart

“The surest way to make your dreams come true is to live them.”
