Hard times may have held you down, but they will not last forever. When all is said and done, you will be increased.
Joel Osteen
Image
If you want your life to get better, sometimes the best thing you can do is to help improve somebody else's life.
Joel Osteen
Image
If you think you’re average, then you’ll be average. If you think you’re ordinary, then you’ll live ordinary. The truth is, there is nothing ordinary about you. You have something to offer that nobody else can offer.
Joel Osteen
Image
If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.
Joel Osteen
Image
I try to live what I teach. A lot of things come against us in life, but we should try to find something to be grateful for, and see each day as a gift.
Joel Osteen
Image
You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.
Joel Osteen
Image
The bigger your obstacle, the bigger your future. Don't get discouraged, keep moving forward.

I don't dislike anybody.

My parents were the same in the pulpit as they were at home. I think that's where a lot of preachers' kids get off base sometimes. Because they don't see the same things at both places.
Joel Osteen
Image
God's way is better than your way. His plan is bigger than your plan. His dream for your life is more rewarding, more fulfilling, better than you've ever dreamed of. Now stay open and let God do it His way.
Joel Osteen
Image
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.
Joel Osteen
Image
God doesn't ask you to figure it all out. He only asks you to believe.
Joel Osteen
Image
I'm trying to make God more relevant in our society. And I think talking in everyday terms and making sure people can understand it - I think that's important.
Joel Osteen
Image
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.
Joel Osteen
Image
When I grew up, the Devil was a reason why I had a headache or the Devil was the reason I got mad today. We always blamed the Devil. I think today when I say the Enemy, I like to make it broader. Sometimes the Enemy can be our own thoughts.

Image
We have to remember, when we forgive we're not doing it just for the other person, we're doing it for our own good. When we hold on to unforgiveness and we live with grudges in our hearts, all we're doing is building walls of separation.

Don't make excuses, don't blame the past. The rest of your life can be the best of your life!

Don't focus on the good old days, look forward towards the good new days.
