Quotes about Self-worth
You have to accept that some people are not going to be for you and that's okay. You don't need them to fulfill your destiny. Your job is to guard your heart. Don't let the offense, the bitterness, the poison get in. You do your part and God will do His part.

Sometimes what's holding us back is that we don't really know who we are. We think we're average, just ordinary, when in fact we are royalty. We are sons and daughters of the Most High God. When God breathed His life into you, He crowned you with His favor. He put a robe of righteousness on you. He says, "You have been fearfully and wonderfully made." Don't go through life with a cheese-and-crackers mentality. Have a son mentality, an abundant mentality.

I'm not a slave to my past. I'm not a slave to the people who hurt me. I'm not a slave to addiction, to poverty, to lack, or to depression. I'm a child of the Most High God.
- Joel Osteen
Quit being frustrated by people who are not for you, people that make negative comments and try to discredit you, marginalize you. You're not defined by what they say. They don't control your destiny. That's just noise. Don't give them the time of day.
- Joel Osteen
It's good to admire people, it's good to celebrate their gifts, but don't get so caught up in who they are that you forget who you are. You are gifted, you are talented, you are one of a kind.
