Steve Maraboli on Happiness

"Plant seeds of happiness, hope, success, and love; it will all come back to you in abundance. This is the law of nature."

"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."

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

"Every time I thought I was being rejected from something good, I was actually being re-directed to something better."

"Love yourself. Forgive yourself. Be true to yourself. How you treat yourself sets the standard for how others will treat you."

"Happiness is a state of mind, a choice, a way of living; it is not something to be achieved, it is something to be experienced."

"When you are living the best version of yourself, you inspire others to live the best versions of themselves."

"The strength of a man isn't seen in the power of his arms. It's seen in the love with which he EMBRACES you."

"My past has not defined me, destroyed me, deterred me, or defeated me; it has only strengthened me."

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

"If you are not the hero of your own story, then you're missing the whole point of your humanity."

"Remember that there is an abundance of happiness that can be found in the smallest of places."

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

"If you fuel your journey on the opinions of others, you are going to run out of gas."

"Happiness is not the absence of problems; it's the ability to deal with them."

"Be happy with who you are and what you do, and you can do anything you want."

"Happiness has to do with your mindset, not with outside circumstance."

"Your simple smile can lighten the darkest places"

"Search for contentment in each person you meet."
