181 " Love moves in sync with the cadence of forgiveness, sings in tune with the melody of acceptance, and dances in rhythm with the music of companionship. "
― Steve Maraboli , Unapologetically You: Reflections on Life and the Human Experience
182 " Most people have an abundance of dreams, but lack the courage to follow them. Help them find that courage by inspiring them with yours. "
183 " Don’t let your idea of God be limited to the imagination of others. Don’t let them define your God and don’t let them tell you how to express your faith. "
184 " If I do not personify God, you call me an atheist. But I do not personify God because I refuse to limit God to the boundaries of my imagination... or yours. "
185 " Just because I don't believe in YOUR God doesn't mean I don't believe in God. I just choose not to be bound by the limits of your imagination or those of your ancestors. "
186 " One of life's challenging realizations is that sometimes you outgrow your friends. "
187 " 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. "
188 " 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. "
189 " 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. "
190 " 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. "
191 " A sense of entitlement is a cancerous thought process that is void of gratitude and can be deadly to our relationships. "
192 " Dare to exhaust yourself with all the opportunities this day offers. "
193 " Instructions for successful living: Dream it. Plan it. Do it. Repeat. "
194 " The magic that turns dreams into reality is YOU! When you are inspired by a dream, create a good plan; that turns it into a goal. Then, live your life in a way that will bring that dream, that goal, to life. The magic is you. "
195 " Don't limit yourself to someone else's opinion of your capabilities. Be you. Dream, plan, execute! "
196 " How much longer will you sit back and wait for your dream to spontaneously come true? Too many days, weeks, months, and years have passed! Do not be unresponsive to your own dreams. Now, set a course of action that will lead to bringing your dream into reality. "
197 " Get out of your own way… stop the paralysis by analysis… dream your dream… then, WAKE UP and bring it to life! "
198 " With no action to nourish it, your dream becomes a fantasy. "
199 " This magical universe is so faithful in waiting for us to get out of our own way. No matter how long you have gone astray, when you take action, the universe moves to support the act. Move in the direction of your goals and watch the magic flow. "
200 " There is magic in this wonderful life, but only if you choose to do more than just exist; the magic is found when we choose to live. "
