Every setback means you're one step closer to seeing the dream come to pass.
Joel Osteen -
You cannot let where you are today cause you to get stuck. I'm going to be my best right now. That's what faith is all about.

I'm not for gay marriage, but I'm not for discriminating against people.
Joel Osteen -
To me, we're marketing hope.
Joel Osteen -
I have always believed in God.
Joel Osteen -
I didn't try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
Joel Osteen -
The ultimate connection is when you are connected to the creator of the universe.
Joel Osteen -
Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.
Joel Osteen

I think faith is incredibly important because you will become overwhelmed with what's happening and you will have waves of grief, but when you turn to your faith, I believe God will give you waves of grace to get through it.
Joel Osteen -
When people are around us, they should leave better off than they were previously. Rather than feeling discouraged or defeated, people should feel challenged and inspired after spending any time with you and me.
Joel Osteen -
Many times, we miss out on God's best because we give up too soon. We don't realize how close we are to victory.
Joel Osteen -
I like to think my dad was easygoing and kind, and I think some of those things have been passed down. I am like him in a sense of being positive and hopeful. He was compassionate, and I've got a lot of that in me as well.
Joel Osteen -
The Hindus are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.
Joel Osteen -
Every day is a gift from God. There's no guarantee of tomorrow, so that tells me to see the good in this day to make the most of it.

Indeed, it is as important to learn how to receive a blessing as it is to be willing to give one.
Joel Osteen -
See, people are watching you. Especially your children. They're taking in every single thing you do. They are like video cameras with legs. And they are always in the record mode. They learn more from what you do than from what you say.
Joel Osteen -
Any 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.'
Joel Osteen -
Bottom line: God will not allow any person to keep you from your destiny. They may be bigger, stronger, or more powerful, but God knows how to shift things around and get you to where you're supposed to be.
Joel Osteen -
I just think that it's strong and it's important that we recognize what the Christmas season is about; it's about the birth of our Savior, and there's a lot of pressure today to be politically correct, but people are realizing, too, that you have to be open to express your faith what you want believe.
Joel Osteen -
Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn't work today.

I think a big test we all face in life on a regular basis is that discouragement test. Life's not always fair, but I believe if you keep doing the right thing, God will get you to where you are.
Joel Osteen -
I don't think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.
Joel Osteen -
In my early teens, I knew I wanted to do television production. I loved cameras, editing and producing, anything that had to do with television production. My friend had a production studio across town, and we'd go over there at night and shoot and edit. I produced my father's televised service for 17 years.
Joel Osteen -
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won't receive the good things God has in store.
