Most of the criticism I get is that I am too positive and too hopeful... in my words, I don't beat people down enough.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
The prerequisite to loving others is to love yourself. If you don't have a healthy respect for who you are, and if you don't learn to accept yourself faults and all, you will never be able to properly love other people.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God wants to use you in spite of your weaknesses. Of God chose to use perfect people only, He’d have no one to use
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Slow down and enjoy the journey right now. Take time for the people in your life. They won't always be there.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Never let discouraging people and discouraging situations talk you out of your dream.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When you center life around yourself, not only do you miss out on God's best, but you rob other people of the joy and blessings that God wants to give them through you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
One study says that 90 percent of our everyday behavior is based on our habits. . . That means how we treat people, how we spend our money, what we watch, what we listen to - 90 percent of the time, we're on autopilot. We do what we've always done.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
If you will focus on meeting other people’s needs, God will always make sure your needs are supplied. God will take care of your problems for you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Let's be the kind of people that do good for others whether we get paid back or not, whether they say thank you or not.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I just wanted to get the message that God had put into my heart into another form, because I knew the print media would reach a different group of people.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Jesus didn't go around condemning people. The Bible says it's the goodness of God that leads people to repentance.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I feel like what's come out of me is the gift God has given me just to encourage people, to help them know that there's a better life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I encourage people in a lot of my messages that you've got to make the most of every day.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I'm trying to teach people how to live their everyday lives, and so I do focus on it, probably not as much as some people would like.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I feel like when I stay focused on encouraging people, and giving them hope, and helping them live their everyday life, I think that's where I can have the most impact.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I'm not beating people over the head, and I'm saying that there are good things in store - you can make it in life. Most of the stuff that I minister [is] not real complicated deep things.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I see people - they won't be negative toward other people, but inside they're negative toward themselves, and I think that holds us back.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
There's a lot of negative things trying to pull people down, and I think people respond when you tell them that hey, there are good things up ahead.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
So many people talk about themselves: "I'm unattractive, my mind's so slow, and I can't do this." And you know what I tell them? "God didn't make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you."
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I try to teach people that I believe God wants us to be positive toward ourselves, meaning that, you know what, I like the way I look, I like the way I sound, I'm happy with what I'm doing in my career - and not always be beating ourselves down.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
For a while... to be an evangelical meant you were a white Republican, and you were against this and against that. I don't want to be put into that mold, because then people judge you before they even listen... I don't want to divide the very people I am trying to reach.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I don't know what can be so dangerous about giving people hope. Causing people to have better relationships. I'm not leading them to some false God or something like that.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I feel like my message is to let people know that God is a good God, that He's on their side, and no matter what happens, He has a great plan for them.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
We live in a day that nobody's lived in before: where you can touch more people. The message I'll speak tonight and the message that I speak at home, people in India will hear. It's just an amazing day.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think, for years, people have been pushed down by religion, and I don't say that disrespectfully, but they've been shown a God that you can't measure up to.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'
Quote by -Joel Osteen
So many people are looking at what's wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what's right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
See, people are watching you. Especially your children. They're taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I'm trying to throw a big broad net to try to get people interested in God and believe that He's for them and has a purpose.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
My dad had a church of 90 people when I was born. It was just, over the years it continued to grow.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think sometimes the critics want me to beat people down, and that's not in me. I want to lift people up.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
We need to show mercy. I mean, because as much mercy as you show people, that's the mercy you're going to be receiving.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
It's flattering to people who stop you and say that you've helped them and all. But, again, you know, you've got to stay humble because as quick as you came up, you can come down.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Friend, there's no greater investment in life than in being a people builder. Relationships are more important than our accomplishments.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God puts people in our lives on purpose so we can help them succeed and help them become all He created them to be. Most people will not reach their full potential without somebody else believing in them.
