Summary of Love Your Life: Living Happy, Healthy, and Whole

The instant New York Times bestseller by Pastor Joel Osteen?s wife offers insight, advice, and inspiration for women everywhere.

So what does it mean, to Love Your Life ?? asks Victoria Osteen. ?Loving your life is being willing to make changes, to let go of old ways and unhealthy habits so that you can be the best you can be. It?s about having the right perspective and understanding the value of who you are and what you have. It?s learning to love others and learning to love yourself so that you can get more out of your relationships. It?s about recognizing the gifts that God has given you and making the most of those gifts.?

With all of the pressures of the modern world, women have had to deal with an increasingly daunting array of issues?from their kids? school and sports to their own health and finances and faith. Too often, they have to deal with these matters by themselves. The woman?s role is not an easy one, but as Victoria Osteen shows, with her trademark passion, energy, and optimism, it?s far from impossible. Women can find balance and joy and hope, and become better wives, mothers, daughters, sisters, and friends in the process.

Like a trusted friend, Victoria shares her own personal life experiences and the stories of those who have inspired her. Outlining a simple plan for saying ?yes? to life?s blessings, she shows readers how they can overcome their fears, and the incredible things they can accomplish when they do.

A New York Times bestseller in hardcover, Love Your Life will encourage a whole new universe of readers to accept the gift of who they were meant to be and discover how to live happy, healthy and whole.

As co-pastor of Lakewood Church--America's largest church--Victoria Osteen understands intimately how day-to-day responsibilities can pile up and at times feel overwhelming. As a wife and mother, she sets the tone for her household and acts as a role model for her family. As a minister, she reaches out to an enormous community of people who look to her for guidance, strength, wisdom, and encouragement. She knows as well as anyone that operating in so many different roles can be extremely demanding, yet she has managed to find balance, living her life in the unforced rhythms of grace. If you ask her, she'll tell you that she loves her life and she wants you to love your life, too.

No matter where you are in your life, no matter what responsibilities you may carry, you can find peace, balance, and enjoyment in every area of your life; but it all starts with you. You have more power inside you than you realize; all you have to do is learn to tap into what you already have! As you begin to recognize your own abilities and influence, and use them in healthy ways, all the other areas of your life will fall into order.

In Love Your Life, Victoria shares from her personal life experiences and her journey of faith the lessons she's learned that have made her the woman she is today. As you read, you'll feel like you're in a conversation with a trusted friend as Victoria shows you how to tap into all that God has given you to live effectively--as a positive influence on the world around you. You'll be inspired by stories of victory and challenged to live at a higher level. You'll read about people who have accomplished incredible things by overcoming their fears, and people who have changed the world around them by simply recognizing their own value.

A life well lived does not come easily; you have to set out for it, look for it, and make it happen. Love Your Life shows how to turn the challenges of each day into opportunities to love and appreciate all that you are.

Victoria Osteen An Interview with Victoria Osteen

Q: What inspired you to write the book and how did you come to the title?

A: I founded the women?s ministry here at Lakewood Church which now has several hundred women. It was through conversations with these women about the issues that were important to them where I discovered we all share many of the same concerns and issues. I wrote the book in order to address those issues. The title, Love Your Life just came to me one day.

Q: What motivates you in your work on a daily basis?

A: I see how God is using this ministry to touch people all over the world. We get thousands of letters and emails from people whose lives have been changed, who have found hope in the midst of adversity, and who are inspired to keep rising higher in their everyday life.

Q: You have inspired so many people with your message. Who has inspired you the most?

A: My parents and my husband have been my greatest inspiration. I have always been blessed in this way. My parents not only instilled faith in me but they taught me the importance of family as well. Joel inspires me on a daily basis. He lives such a life of mercy, compassion and integrity.

Q: How do you think life has changed for your children vs. how things were for you when you grew up?

A: Actually, things are not that different. My family was very close to one another just as we are today. Perhaps, the biggest difference might be that my kids live near all of their cousins, aunts and uncles while I grew up several hundred miles from mine. My kids are able to interact with their extended family on a daily basis and I think that is great. Growing up, I would have liked to see my cousins as much as my kids get to see theirs.

Q: Does your full schedule allow you some quality time by yourself? What is your favorite way to relax?

A: I enjoy exercising and reading. But my favorite way to relax is to just hang out with Joel and the kids. We laugh and have great fun together.
