Joel Osteen Quotes

Your life is a result of the choices you have made. If you don't like your life, start making better choices.

Every positive change in your life begins with a clear, unequivocaldecision that you are going to either do something or stop doing something.

You have no idea how promising the world begins to look once you have decided to have it all for yourself. And how much healthier your decisions are once they become entirely selfish.

Focus on your dream and do everything in your power. You have the power to change your life circumstances.

Up to this point your life has pretty much sucked. You’re not responsible for that. But you are responsible for what happens from here on.

Gonna change my way of thinking, make my self a different set of rules. Gonna put my good foot forward and stop being influenced by fools.

Beginning today, I will create a new future by creating a new me. No longer will I dwell in a pit of despair, moaning over squandered time and lost opportunity. I can do nothing about the past. My future is immediate. I will grasp it in both hands and carry it with running feet. When I am faced with the choice of doing nothing or doing something, I will always choose to act! I seize this moment. I choose now.

The beautiful thing about TODAY is that you get the choice to make it better than YESTERDAY

You have two choices. you can keep running and hiding and blaming the world for your problems, or you can stand up for yourself and decide to be somebody important.

I am completely in charge of the choices I make about what I am doing to lose weight and get healthy. And you know what? We all have this power. Don’t be angry with me for something good I’ve done for myself. Be angry with yourself for not having the courage to do the same in your own life.

You can only whine for so long. Then you need to get your life back.

Regardless of who you are or what you have been, you can be what you want to be.

I had to find the courage to turn my life around.

The greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.

Take hold of your future or the future will take hold of you

In life, you get one choice over and over again. That is to take conditions as they are or take responsibility for changing them.

You have to figure out how you can step forward and affect your own life. I think that sense of empowerment is actually really positive, specifically for the young generation because they've been bystanders in their own lives for a while.

You are the only thing holding you back from happiness. You have the ability to change your life radically for better or worse.

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

You have a clean slate every day you wake up. You have a chance every single morning to make that change and be the person you want to be. You just have to decide to do it. Decide today’s the day. Say it: this is going to be my day.

Choice! The key is choice. You have options. You need not spend your life wallowing in failure, ignorance, grief, poverty, shame, and self-pity. But hold on! If this is true then why have so many among us apparently elected to live in this manner? The answer is obvious. Those who live in unhappy failure have never exercised their options for a better way of life because they have never been aware that had any choices

The road to success, for me, was a long and arduous journey, strewn with obstacles and traps, pitfalls and hurdles-all created by myself. Painful as it is, I speak of those sad and frustrating times whenever I am invited to address sales gatherings, corporate conventions, and success rallies, in the hope that my personal experiences will serve as sufficient evidence for all who hear me that they have it in their own power to make their lives as glorious or as terrible as they choose.

Don't mourn over your bad decisions. Just start overcoming them with good ones.

I am as close to changing my life as my current positive thought

It's never too late to turn things around. You are the only obstacle.
