Joel Osteen - Tell Yourself A New Story

I want to talk to you today about Tell Yourself a New Story. We all have a story of how we see ourselves, and how we see our future, comes from how we were raised, what people have said, our successes and failures. For some people their story is negative. "I've been hurt too much. I could never love again. I'm at a disadvantage. I could never be successful. I had big dreams, but I want the talent, the experience".

You know what's stopping you? Your story. You're being limited by what you're telling yourself. What you believe about yourself, how you see your circumstances, the story that you've written will override what anyone else says. It's more powerful even than the facts. You can be incredibly gifted, you have a great personality, but if you tell yourself that you're average, you don't have much to offer, your gifts won't come out like they should.
