Don't live worried, frustrated or upset because of what somebody did or what didn't work out. Come back to a place of peace. It's not going to work against you; it's going to work for you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Make the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Life's too short to spend it trying to keep others happy. You can't please everyone. To fulfill your destiny, stay true to your heart.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You were not created to just get by with an average, unrewarding, or unfulfilling life. God created you to leave your mark on this generation.
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
The question is not, 'Do you have a problem?' The question is, 'Does the problem have you?'
Quote by -Joel Osteen
See, when you drive home today, you've got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you've got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what's happened in your past is not near as important as what's in your future.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we've made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Indeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You can change your world by changing your words... Remember, death and life are in the power of the tongue.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
If one dream dies, dream another dream. If you get knocked down, get back up and go again.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God has already done everything He's going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you're going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
It's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When the negative thoughts come - and they will; they come to all of us - it's not enough to just not dwell on it... You've got to replace it with a positive thought.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Sometimes we look back and 10 years from now we think, 'Boy, those were great old days.' Well, you know, we're living in the good old days.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I wouldn't ever say if you're having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
In difficult times, we're not supposed to quit believing; we're not supposed to quit growing.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors... What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you'd come to closed door number eight and you'd think, 'Great, I got another one out of the way'... Keep moving forward.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Encouragement to others is something everyone can give. Somebody needs what you have to give. It may not be your money; it may be your time. It may be your listening ear. It may be your arms to encourage. It may be your smile to uplift. Who knows?
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I believe if you keep your faith, you keep your trust, you keep the right attitude, if you're grateful, you'll see God open up new doors.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It wont happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
When you are tempted to get discouraged, remind yourself that according to God’s word, your future is getting brighter; you are on your way to a new level of glory. You may think you’ve got a long way to go, but you need to look back at how far you’ve already come. You may not be everything you want to be but atleast you can thank God that you’re not what you used to be.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God will give you strength when you think you can’t go on. He will give you joy when you should be discouraged. He can make a way when it looks impossible.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Quit worrying about what other people think and just be who God made you to be. If you will run your race, God will take care of your critics.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Some of you had big dreams, but you had some disappointments & now you think it’s over. But God is saying, Begin again.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
You can’t talk mediocrity and expect to have victory. You are prophesying your future. If you want a shift to occur, you’ve got to think positive.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Many people are unhappy and are not experiencing life to its fullest because they’ve closed their hearts to compassion, they are motivated by only what they want and what they think they need. They rarely do anything for anybody else unless they have an ulterior goal in mind. They are self-involved and self-centered.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
If you’ll dare to take your mind off your troubles, get your mind off your own needs and, instead, seek to be a blessing to other people, God will do more for you than you could even ask or think.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
To live your best life now, you must learn to trust God’s timing, you may not think He’s working, but you can be sure that right now, behind the scenes, God is arranging all the pieces to come together to work out His plan for your life.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Don't think small when you pray. God has a way to bring your dreams to pass if you'll dare to be bold enough to ask.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I think faith is incredible important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
I do think that religion has turned a lot of people off. Part of it is because it was all about the rules and was political. I think now people have a hunger for God, they want to have a relationship, but they don't want to be called religious. I'm not trying to get them to join my religion, I'm just trying to plant a seed of hope in their heart.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
If you think your obstacles are too big, they will be. Don’t set limits on your life with your thinking.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Sometimes what we think is a disappointment, is really God getting us in position to go to a new level.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
God is preparing you for greater things. He's going to take you further than you thought possible, so don't be surprised when He asks you to think better of yourself and to act accordingly.
Quote by -Joel Osteen
Take the limits off of yourself. You will never rise higher than your thinking. Create a great vision for your life.
