Joyce Meyer Quotes

Change is very scary.

It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure in order to embrace the new & unknown.

I think sometimes people are scared to change. Sometimes people are scared to do something different, especially if they've been successful at something.

Sometimes when you think you are done, it is just the edge of beginning. Probably that's why we decide we're done. It's getting too scary. We are touching down onto something real. It is beyond the point when you think you are done that often something strong comes out.

I don't seek discomfort. But, very often, you realise that what you fear is actually quite ephemeral; something's different, something's unfamiliar; therefore, it must be worse.

People are afraid of changing; that they're losing something. They don't understand that they are also gaining something.

For me, every day is a new thing. I approach each project with a new insecurity, almost like the first project I ever did. And I get the sweats. I go in and start working, I'm not sure where I'm going. If I knew where I was going I wouldn't do it.

To imagine a better life for yourself and your family and to leave behind all that is familiar requires a special kind of courage.

I am always scared when I start something new. That hasn't changed.

And loss of control is always the source of fear. It is also, however, always the source of change.

Sometimes you have to say goodbye to the things you know and hello to the things you dont.

So something had begun, and now she could not stop it. Twin threads ran through her: fear and excitement. She could leave this place today. She could start a new life somewhere else.

The reinvention of daily life means marching off the edge of our maps.

Getting to a place of comfort can be uncomfortable.

You've got to bumble forward into the unknown.

Today is the day to break free from the prison of the person you know yourself to be and step into a self you have yet to know. Will it be comfortable? No, but do it anyway.

Sometimes you just have to let go of the old and trust that something better is going to take its place, even if it's scary to face change and the unknown.

Everything I do now is a first.

Two years ago, if anyone had told me I'd be doing half the stuff I'm doing, I wouldn't have believed it.

If my ship sails from sight, it doesn't mean my journey ends, it simply means the river bends.

It's quite normal to hear of a change and see it as a problem, but it's probably an opportunity, depending on how quickly you can adjust.

A lot of people resist transition and therefore never allow themselves to enjoy who they are. Embrace the change, no matter what it is; once you do, you can learn about the new world you're in and take advantage of it.

Every journey starts with fear.

I tell all my younger friends, 'Don't be afraid of change. That is when you truly see what your destiny is.'

Change is hard, but change is good.
