Joel Osteen Quotes

When you fly high people will throw stones at you. Don't look down. Just fly higher so the stones won't reach you

Along the way there's going to be a lot of obstacles, a lot of adversity, a lot of people who will tell you you're not good enough. I'm here to tell you that you are. Everyone that tells you that you're not is because they didn't accomplish something.

Don't give up. Don't listen to these foolish critics that are so small minded they don't get it tonight.

I thought about all the people that told me I couldn't do it and told me I couldn't get there.

You give up on what you need to be doing because you forget that you're worth it. This is why most people aren't leading exemplary lives...You have to believe in yourself so much that you're willing to do what's uncomfortable, time-consuming, inconvenient, and on occasion seemingly impossible. When you don't believe in yourself this much, pretend.

There's always going to be someone out there who doesn't like what you do, doesn't like your style, your face. That's part of life. But I feed off that. I don't think I'd be where I am today if it wasn't for that. It puts a little fire in the belly, keeps me going so I can prove so many people wrong.

I have had it all over the years, being told I'm not good enough. So whenever the chance comes I always try and prove I should be starting.

Love yourself for who you are and just keep going.

I never listened to the people who said I should give it up, which is the main advice I got.

I train myself for triumph by knowing it is mine no matter what.

Now if you know what you're worth then go out and get what you're worth. But ya gotta be willing to take the hits, and not pointing fingers saying you ain't where you wanna be because of him, or her, or anybody! Cowards do that and that ain't you! You're better than that!

Don't listen to anybody who's trying to bring you down. There's so much negativity in the world. If you really want something, then you go for it.

The world bursts at the seams with people ready to tell you you're not good enough. On occasion, some may be correct. But do not do their work for them. Seek any job; ask anyone out; pursue any goal. Don't take it personally when they say 'no' - they may not be smart enough to say 'yes.'

Ignore people who tell you 'you can't' or try to discourage you.

Never take no personally. Sometimes people tell you no for a reason that has nothing to do with you. You must keep going.

After people become convinced they have what it takes to succeed, they persevere in the face of adversity and quickly rebound from setbacks. By sticking it out through tough times, they emerge stronger from adversity.

To the people that have said I'm too small, I'm not fast enough, I don't have what it takes, I'm not strong enough. THANK YOU

All the people who knock me down, only inspire me to do better.

If you try anything, if you try to lose weight, or to improve yourself, or to love, or to make the world a better place, you have already achieved something wonderful, before you even begin. Forget failure. If things don't work out the way you want, hold your head up high and be proud. And try again. And again. And again!

Don't let the idiots that like to bring you down, succeed in discouraging you. I let it get to me a while ago, and let me tell you, it feels SO good to come up under it!

There's more people that like me than there are who hate me, so I kind of brush it off.

These haters can't hold me back.

I don't look to the negative people because the only people who ever tell you that you can't do something are the ones who haven't done it themselves... the ones who failed.

Don't let your failures define you.

My father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there's a challenge, go for it. If there's a wall to break down, break it down.
