Nothing can take your joy; you have to give it away. You're in complete control of your happiness.
Joel OsteenI think how you start the day many times determines what kind of day you're going to have.
Joel OsteenWe can be civil. We can still be friends, and be Democrats and Republicans, and have different views.
Joel OsteenThe more you talk about negative things in your life, the more you call them in. Speak victory not defeat.
Joel OsteenEvery day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you're doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
Joel OsteenAny of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude. I think that's how you pass those tests.
