Joel Osteen Quotes

It is our duty as men and women to proceed as though the limits of our abilities do not exist.

You are not the product of your circumstances. You are a composite of all the things you believe, and all the places you believe you can go. Your past does not define you. You can step out of your history and create a new day for yourself. Even if the entire culture is saying, "You can't." Even if every single possible bad thing that can happen to you does. You can keep going forward.

Most of the time, it's your thinking, not your talent, that holds you back.

There are very real obstacles and challenges to any course of action. And there's no need to add to them, by making up obstacles of your own. Unchain yourself from the bondage of your own thinking.

Limits exist only in the souls of those who do not dream.

Wait a minute, maybe I can do anything.

You are never stuck, unless you are choosing to stay there. You are never limited, unless you choose to limit yourself. You are never less than, unless you choose to see yourself this way. You will never fail, unless you choose failure as an option. You are powerful beyond belief!

I want people to feel like they can do anything.

After everything I've been through, I've realized I can do anything I put my mind to. And I want to do it all.

We don't put limits on ourselves.

I learned you don't put limitations on yourself.

If you think you are beaten you are, if you think you dare not, you don't. If you like to win, but you think you can't, it is almost certain you won't.

Pursuing your dreams involves you accepting where you want to go. Don't allow anybody else to talk you out of things or discourage you from doing whatever you want to do. You can hold on to your dream and never pursue it or you can start pursuing it. If you can see it, or if you can envision it... it can happen.

The only limitations are the ones we put on ourselves and I just don't believe in limiting myself.

You are better than you think.

You have incredible lives ahead of you. You have incredible things that you can accomplish. If you feel that, you will have an amazing life. Do not let anything build a wall too high for you to get over. And I know that might seem very cliche, but I've had alot of friends who had hurt themselves. And when you're younger, a lot of that stuff is so temporary. You can get through it. You're stronger than you think. You'll ALWAYS be stronger than you think. Feel with your heart and do what you want.

Take the limits off of yourself. You will never rise higher than your thinking. Create a great vision for your life.

You become what you believe. And to believe that you are created by the power that's greater than yourself means anything is possible.

Never, ever, let anyone tell you what you can and can't do. Prove the cynics wrong. Pity them for they have no imagination. The sky's the limit. Your sky. Your limit. Now. Let's dance.

Failure is an inside job. So is success. If you want to achieve you have to win the war in your thinking first.

In the real world, you can make your own miracles.

Plant seeds of expectation in your mind; cultivate thoughts that anticipate achievement. Believe in yourself as being capable of overcoming all obstacles and weaknesses.

I believe the only limitations are the ones that we accept.

The first place we lose the battle is in our own thinking. If you think it is permanent then it's permanent. If you think you've reached your limits then you have. If you think you will never get well then you won't. You have to change your thinking. You need to see everything that's holding you back, every obstacle, every limitation as only temporary.

You are the power in your world! You get to have whatever you choose to think!
