I think happiness is a goal all of us can agree on. Let’s face it – we all would like to be happy. – Joyce Meyer
There are many things that happen every day that we could murmur about if we let ourselves go there. But they really aren’t worth the effort it takes to get upset and gripe about it. – Joyce Meyer
If you want to have sustained joy, you have to not only make sure that you think right, but you also have to make decisions now that are going to guarantee some joy in the future. – Joyce Meyer
Don’t judge other people. For example, if you want God’s anointing to be on you for parenting, you need to be careful not to criticize other parents. – Joyce Meyer

Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself. – Joyce Meyer
If selfishness is the key to being miserable, then selflessness must be the key to being happy! – Joyce Meyer

If you will do what God tells you to do, there’s no person on Earth and no devil in Hell that can keep you from having what God wants you to have. – Joyce Meyer
Because my dad abused me, I was determined to never let a man tell me what to do. God clearly showed me that I needed to be a submissive wife if I wanted to be effective in ministry. The truth is, if we don’t learn to submit to authority, we won’t ever learn to submit to God. – Joyce Meyer
My father was a negative person. He actually taught me to be negative, if that makes any sense. I remember him saying: ‘You know there’s no point in expecting anything good to happen because it won’t.’ I grew up in such a negative atmosphere. – Joyce Meyer
The devil is a peace stealer, and he works hard to set us up to get upset. But we can learn how to change our approach so we don’t live upset all of the time. And Jesus gives us the best example to follow. – Joyce Meyer
