Joyce Meyer Quotes

I think a lot of people spend a lot of time talking about what they hate rather than what they love. I don't want to get trapped in that.

The difference between an optimist and a pessimist? An optimist laughs to forget, but a pessimist forgets to laugh.

Keep your face to the sunshine and you cannot see a shadow.

When you wake up every day, you have two choices. You can either be positive or negative; an optimist or a pessimist. I choose to be an optimist. It's all a matter of perspective.

Delete the negative; accentuate the positive!

There's just as much positivity as there is negativity, but for some reason, people focus on the negative things. And I used to be that person, but I'm not that person anymore.

In this world, you can choose to be positive, or you can choose to be negative. You can choose to see things through a set of eyes that sees good, or you can choose to see things in life that aren't so good.

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?

People who have great lives think and talk about what they love more than what they don't love. And people who are struggling, think and talk about what they don't love more than what they do love.

Attitude is everything, so pick a good one

I think sometimes we seem to obsess on negativity.

Optimism means better than reality; pessimism means worse than reality. I'm a realist.

I have never, ever focused on the negative of things. I always look at the positive.

I don't think the world focuses on the positive things enough.

It takes no more time to see the good side of life than it takes to see the bad.

When things don't go our way, we get to choose how we will respond. We get to choose our perspective. Will you focus on what you didn't get, or what you did get?

I don't talk about anything negative.

For me, I try to always look at the positive.

I choose to focus on the positive.

You're so caught up in grumbling, complaining, and seeing what's wrong that you have no energy or time to appreciate what's good.

Our attitude can give us an uncommonly positive perspective.

There is an old cliche, 'You can see the glass half empty, or you can see it half full.' You can focus on what's wrong in your life, or you can focus on what's right. But whatever you focus on, you're going to get more of. Creation is an extension of thought. Think lack, and you get lack. Think abundance, and you get more.

Don't focus on the negative things that can happen, just think about the positive things.

You can't be a smart cookie if you have a crummy attitude.

There's an old line that goes like this: An optimist is usually happy. And a pessimist is usually right. Maybe so. But which would you rather be, anyway?
