{ Get over it - J. Osteen }

• Taking control of your happiness. Some people are sacrificing their own happiness, in trying to keep everyone of them around happy. If they do not meet all these demands, then they will fall out of somebody's good grace, somebody won't understand.
• God did not call you to keep everyone happy. You are not responsible for other people's happiness, you are responsible to keep yourself happy. Maybe it is time for them to be unhappy.
• Your time is too valuable to go through life letting people control you.
• You got to put your foot down.
• If somebody is controlling you, it is not their fault, is your fault.
• Quit catering, ignore it.
• You are not the savior of the world, we already have a Savior.
• You are not suppose to keep everyone happy and everyone fixed. If you take on that job, the one person that is going to be unhappy is you.
• A lot of times, we do things out of guilt.
• If you keep giving in, is as if they have you as a puppet. Cut the strings. 
• The sooner you break free, the better off they are going to be. They know what they have to do to get their way. Ignore it, go about your day, and enjoy your life.
• As long as somebody can pressure you in doing what they want, they will continue to do it. If you do not respond, that will force them to look inside and deal with the real issues.
• They are not going to change. You love them, but you cannot make them happy.
• Do not take on that false sense of responsibility. God did not call you to be unhappy in order to keep somebody else happy.
• You cannot let a season turn into a lifetime, putting your life on hold to keep somebody else happy.
• Life is too short, letting people control you who will not make good decisions for themselves.
• You can't make people do what's right. When we love people, it is very easy to take on that responsibility, spend all our time and energy thinking we are going to get them fixed. The problem is, they do not want to be fixed and you got to turn those people to the Lord.
• You make the mistake of letting their problem become your problem. Let that person off your potter's wheel, you are not the potter, God is the potter. God knows how to get people to change.
• Sometimes the best thing is to not rescue them. Don't keep enabling that disfunction.
• "The young man came to himself..." (Luke 15)
• The only way they are going to be free, is when nobody is bailing them out. 
• You are doing too much for other people, and not enough for yourself. Your first priority is to keep yourself happy.
• If you are doing all the giving and not the receiving something is out of balance.
• They are not a friend, they are a controller. They are not really interested in you, but in what you can do for them.
• You have a destiny to fulfill, be bold and take control of your own life.
• Good residence, you do not need friends like that. 
• I do not mind being good to people, but I do mind being used.
• One of the greatest freedom, is to get free from people.
• I would rather please God, and have a few people upset with me.
• Be careful of high maintenance people. You can never do enough for them. They are impossible to keep happy. If you keep dong that, it will frustrating you.
• There will be people you lift you: Brighten your day, Make you feel better about yourself, Bring a spring in your step
• The are people who will thrust you: Motivate, inspire, challenge you to move forward and challenge your dreams
• There are people who are a weight: Pull you down, Discouraged, Negative.
• They are people who are a drag: Always got a sad story. Energy suckers.
• Make sure you are spending the priority of your time with lifters and thrusters.
• You will not lift off if you let other people weigh you down. 
• It should be a season and not a drama.
• You cannot put that negativity in and soar.
• Pay attention in who you are spending time with.
• You cannot go where God is taking you, with them in your life. Your assignment and destiny is too great with someone who pulls you down.
• Before you go to work, you got to be prayed up, praised up, encouraged, set your mind that is going to be a great day. You cannot get into that negative environment going in neutral. You got to be filled up. Do not let your guard down. Get your spirit person build up. Have a grateful attitude. You have the favor of God, you are strong in the Lord, you can do all things through Christ, and something good is going to happen to you today. You got to build up that resistance. Stay filled up.
• Do not let those issues to sour your own life. It is time to break free. Cut the puppet strings. Set some boundaries. Bondages that has held you back for years are being broken right now. You are going to step in a new sense of freedom, joy and a greater happiness.
