Fresh Start Quotes

“Shake off the self-pity. Don’t make excuses. Don’t blame the past. Don’t blame your parents. Don’t blame your circumstances. They may be the reason you are where you are, but that doesn’t give you the right to stay there.”
― Joel Osteen, Fresh Start: The New You Begins Today

“Joel 3: 10 says, “Let the weak say, ‘I am strong.’” Notice that they may be weak, but they’re supposed to say, “I am strong.” Not, “I am so tired. I am so rundown.” That’s calling in the wrong things. God tells them to declare what they want, not what their present circumstances are.”
