I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.

If you cannot get along with yourself, you'll never be able to get along with other people.

You have to accept the fact that some people are never going to be for you. Treat them with respect, but you don’t need their approval to fulfill your destiny.

I'm not a big believer in trying to jam stuff down somebody's throat: 'You're going to do it my way.' I'd rather show by example and live my life and have people say, 'You know what, I want to live like Joel has. He's got peace and joy, and he seems content.'

You can have average talent, but when God breathes on your life, you will go further than people that have great talent. Don't talk yourself out of it.

The great news is that God knows everything about you, both good and bad, and He still loves you and values you unconditionally. God does not always approve of our behavior. He is not pleased when we go against his will, and when we do, we always suffer the consequences and have to work with Him to correct our thoughts, words, actions, or attitudes. And while you should work to improve in the areas where you fall short, nothing you do will ever cause God to love you less…or more. His love is a constant you can depend on.

Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.
