You cannot expect victory and plan for defeat.

You cannot let where you are today caused you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

You have to come to your closed doors before you get to your open doors... What if you knew you had to go through 32 closed doors before you got to your open door? Well, then you'd come to closed door number eight, and you'd think, 'Great, I got another one out of the way'... Keep moving forward.

You must make a decision that you are going to move on. It won't happen automatically. You will have to rise up and say, ‘I don’t care how hard this is, I don’t care how disappointed I am, I’m not going to let this get the best of me. I’m moving on with my life.

— Joel Osteen

You need to take pride in what God has given you.

You're going to go through tough times - that's life. But I say, 'Nothing happens to you, it happens for you.' See the positive in negative events.

Your job is not to judge. Your job is not to figure out if someone deserves something. Your job is to lift the fallen, to restore the broken, and to heal the hurting.

— Joel Osteen

You were never created to live depressed, defeated, guilty, condemned, ashamed or unworthy. We were created to be victorious.
