Joyce Meyer Quotes

No matter how much you mess with yourself, with surgery or you know, clothes or cut your hair differently or how much you wish and pray and dream that you're gonna wake up as someone else, it's never gonna happen. You have one life and one opportunity, and all you can be is the best you.

When I was a teenager, I was trying to please people. I kept changing who I was to please the people I was with. And so once I just decided I wasn't going to do that anymore.

The thing that is really hard, and really amazing, is giving up on being perfect and beginning the work of becoming yourself.

What we must try to be, of course, is ourselves and wholeheartedly. We must find out what we really are and what we really want.

I may be no better, but at least I am different.

Figure out who you are.

The world can't tell you who you are. You've just got to figure out who you are and be there, for better or worse.
