You have to learn to follow your heart. You canโt let other people pressure you into being something that youโre not. If you want Godโs favor in your life, you must be the person He made you to be, not the person your boss wants you to be, not even the person your parents or your husband wants you to be. You canโt let outside expectations keep you from following your own heart.
Joel OsteenThe main rule to me is to honor God with your life. To live a life of integrity. Not be selfish. You know, help others. But that's really the essence of the Christian faith.
Joel OsteenMake the decision and say, "I'm not letting that worry in. I'm done being upset when my plans don't work out. I'm not letting that stress in." Negative thoughts will still come to your mind, but you don't have to let them into your spirit.
Joel OsteenThatโs why it is important to enjoy the journey not just the destination. In this world, we will never arrive at a place where everything is perfect and we have no more challenges. As admirable as setting goals and reaching them maybe, you canโt get so focused on accomplishing your goals that you make the mistake of not enjoying where you are right now.
