Quit dwelling on the negative things people have said about you. You don’t have to have everyone’s approval. You have God’s approval.

We are set in our ways, bound by our perspectives and stuck in our thinking.

If we're going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

Sometimes in life, a fog sets in and you don't know which way is the right direction. Every voice may tell you it's not going to happen, but God has placed a promise in your heart. Refuse to listen to those voices. Keep believing.

Part of my message is that God never said that we weren't going to have difficulties, but you know what, He said to stay full of joy and I'm going to help you overcome. So I think that is what resonates with people and helps draw so many people. Because it is not a message that you are barely going to make it, you're a victim. We are not victims, we are victors.

A lot of psychological principles and even medical principles, you see them coming around to what the Bible said hundreds of years ago: a merry heart is good like a medicine.

Smiling resets your mood.
