Make A Pact with Yourself Today 

“Kites rise highest against the wind, not with it.”

― Winston S. Churchill

 

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

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

 

“Keep your best wishes, close to your heart and watch what happens”

― Tony DeLiso, Legacy: The Power Within: The Power Within

 

“When you show yourself to the world and display your talents, you naturally stir all kinds of resentment, envy, and other manifestations of insecurity... you cannot spend your life worrying about the petty feelings of others”

― Robert Greene, The 48 Laws of Power

 

“Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve.”

― Robert Michaels MD - 2007 - Graduation Speaker

 

“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

 

“Over the years, I have come to realize that the greatest trap in our life is not success, popularity, or power, but self-rejection. Success, popularity, and power can indeed present a great temptation, but their seductive quality often comes from the way they are part of the much larger temptation to self-rejection. When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. As soon as someone accuses me or criticizes me, as soon as I am rejected, left alone, or abandoned, I find myself thinking, "Well, that proves once again that I am a nobody." ... [My dark side says,] I am no good... I deserve to be pushed aside, forgotten, rejected, and abandoned. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the "Beloved." Being the Beloved constitutes the core truth of our existence.”

― Henri J.M. Nouwen

 

“If you hang out with chickens, you're going to cluck and if you hang out with eagles, you're going to fly.”

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

 

“I find the best way to love someone is not to change them, but instead, help them reveal the greatest version of themselves.”

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

 

“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!”

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

 

“We are all failures- at least the best of us are.”

― J.M. Barrie

 

“Forget yesterday - it has already forgotten you. Don't sweat tomorrow - you haven't even met. Instead, open your eyes and your heart to a truly precious gift - today.”

― Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free

 

“Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.”

― Dalai Lama XIV

 

“The difference between a successful person and others is not a lack of strength, not a lack of knowledge, but rather a lack in will.”

― Vince Lombardi

 

“Eighty percent of success is showing up.”

― Woody Allen

 

“I've come to believe that each of us has a personal calling that's as unique as a fingerprint - and that the best way to succeed is to discover what you love and then find a way to offer it to others in the form of service, working hard, and also allowing the energy of the universe to lead you. ”

― Oprah Winfrey

 

“Never was anything great achieved without danger.”

― Niccolo Machiavelli

 

“Always bear in mind that your own resolution to succeed is more important than any one thing.”

― Abraham Lincoln

To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)

  To Nature by Samuel Taylor Coleridge (Poem, Summary, & Analysis)   To Nature   It may indeed be fantasy when I Essay to draw from all created things Deep, heartfelt, inward joy that closely clings; And trace in leaves and flowers that round me lie Lessons of love and earnest piety. So let it be; and if the wide world rings In mock of this belief, it brings Nor fear, nor grief, nor vain perplexity. So will I build my altar in the fields, And the blue sky my fretted dome shall be, And the sweet fragrance that the wild flower yields Shall be the incense I will yield to Thee, Thee only God! and thou shalt not despise Even me, the priest of this poor sacrifice.   Summary The speaker begins by acknowledging that it might seem like a fantasy when he attempts to find deep, sincere, and inward joy in all created things.
