“If someone decides they're not going to be happy, it's not your problem. You don't have to spend your time and energy trying to cheer up someone who has already decided to stay in a bad mood. Believe it or not, you can actually hurt people by playing into their self-pity.”

Joyce Meyer is an American Christian speaker and author. She is best known for her practical teachings on faith, healing, and overcoming adversity, blending biblical wisdom with accessible, relatable advice. Her work emphasizes personal transformation through a Christ-centered perspective.
