Joel Osteen Quotes

Happiness is a choice we make. You can wake up and say, 'Oh, I can't believe it's so cold,' or you can say, 'Oh, wow, this is a great opportunity for me to try out my new sweater.' No one can be consistently positive, but why not make the choice that makes you feel better rather than the one that drags you down?

I think happiness is a choice. I believe luck is your attitude. It sounds like a really annoying bumper sticker. But there is such a great truth in that. You choose how you want to feel about what happens to you. I could have been a miserable failure. I haven't had anybody looking over me, and I've found my own way through optimistic exploration and fire-burning mistakes. I am a very happy person with an extraordinary life, so I must be doing a lot of things right. I really believe when you peel away the layers, the worlds is a beautiful place filled with beautiful people.

If you're running around with a negative attitude all the time, you're going to feel down, you're going to have negative results. But if you feel like you're going to make it through and you have positive thoughts, you have a much better chance to survive and be successful and happy.

A person with a positive attitude is like a fruit of all seasons.

Health, happiness and success depend upon the fighting spirit of each person. The big thing is not what happens to us in life, but what we do about what happens to us.

Your success and happiness lies in you. Resolve to keep happy, and your joy and you shall form an invincible host against difficulties.

A sunny disposition is worth more than fortune.

Happiness does not depend on your circumstances; it depends on your will. It's a choice that you make.

Happiness is not so much a feeling as it is an attitude

If your own mental attitude is correct, even if you remain in a hostile atmosphere, you feel happy.

It is not our level of prosperity that makes for happiness but the kinship of heart to heart and the way we look at the world. Both attitudes lie within our power, so that a man is happy so long as he chooses to be happy, and no one can stop him.

Happiness is a choice. Choose to be happy.

You've achieved cheerfulness the day you realize that no matter what's happening around you, being anything other than cheerful will not make it better.

Your determination to become a more optimistic person in every part of your life will do more to ensure your success and happiness than any other single quality you can develop.

Happiness is a choice; not just a matter of genes or good luck.

Optimism is the secret of self-reliance. Self-reliance is the secret of a dynamic power. A dynamic power is the secret of an immediate success.

Happiness is not a feeling, it is a choice. To be happy, one must choose to be happy, not respond to a circumstance that now controls your happiness.

Optimism, when applied to your life, develops strength and peace within you.

All alternatives are open. Choose to be blissful. And then there are people who can be blissful even when they are imprisoned, and there are people who remain miserable even when they are living in marble palaces. It all depends on you.

We can’t direct the wind, but we can adjust the sails. For maximum happiness, peace, and contentment, may we choose a positive attitude.

Happiness is a choice. You have to choose it - and you have to fight for it.

Attitude is everything, so pick a good one

I believe that we're as happy in life as we make up our minds to be.

Happiness is a question of attitude, not a question of what's happening out there.
