You were designed to be strong, to be full of can-do power, not a fainter or a quitter, not lacking or weak. You have been equipped with strength to defeat every challenge.

When you go through disappointments, hurts, and unfair situations, it's easy to get discouraged, to throw in the towel and give up. But you can't sit on the sidelines of life nursing your wounds, feeling weary and defeated. In spite of the pain, in spite of the adversity, you need to look those obstacles in the eye and say, "You're no match for me. I am ready for and equal to anything that comes my way. I can handle this."

This compact digest by #1 New York Times bestselling author Joel Osteen helps you put on a victor's mind-set so that one day soon you won't just be in the game but you'll be living a life of victory.
