You can live a stress-free life if you have the courage to focus on what makes your soul smile.

Because, according to Joel Osteen, ‘If you get your soul healthy, you’ll get your energy back.’ Why is that? Because a healthy soul is a healthy life. If do not want to hurt yourself, don’t do anything that is against your soul.

‘What’s going on in your emotions, how you feel about yourself, and what you’re allowing to play in your mind are affecting what’s happening on the outside.’ How you think about yourself has everything to do with how you feel about yourself. If you want to feel better, you have to change your thoughts.

‘Is your soul healthy?’ Yes, my soul is healthy. It is positive. It is not sick.

‘It’s easy to adapt to things that are poisoning us and we don’t realize it.’ Things that are making you unhappy, they are not from other people. They are from within you. Take care of what is going on within you.

‘If your soul is bitter, your life will be bitter.’ But you can change it. You do that by focusing on what is important to you. Don’t drag yourself through the day. Instead, live your day.

‘Don’t just deal with the symptom; get to the root. Learn to live from a place of faith. Your life is bigger than what you are going through. Do not worry about what you cannot change. Do not live in your past. Whatever it is that you are facing right now, you can make it better. To do that, you have got to focus on where the thing is happening.

‘Your soul may feel broken, wounded, hurt from mistakes you’ve made or from what someone else did. But your soul can be restored.’ If you are not okay with what you are eating, then stop it. Get something better for yourself.

‘It’s very powerful when you can say you like yourself.’ You have got to be for yourself. If you do not like who you are, you can do something about it. You don’t need a degree to do that.

‘You need to focus on your victories, to focus on the times when you succeeded, when you resisted the temptation, when you were disciplined.’ Things will happen. But don’t dwell on what you cannot change. Focus on what is working.

‘Nobody can do you like you can do you.’ That is because you are not here to fake yourself through life. You are here to make a difference, to write your own story.

‘Don’t go your whole life wishing you were someone different, wishing you had a better personality, wishing you were more talented, wishing you were like your neighbor, when in fact you’re exactly who you’re supposed to be.’ Do not try to be like other people. The only person you can be is you.

‘You should be your biggest fan. Nobody should think better of you than you.’ If you are not for yourself, no one is going to be for you. If you want peace, you have got to be for yourself.

‘The real question is, Can you see yourself without fault?’ If all you see in your life is what is not going well, then you have a lot of work to do.

‘Don’t judge your life based on one mistake or one season where you gave in to temptation and compromised.’ Mistakes will come. They will happen. When they happen, learn from them.

‘Are you for you? Are you kind to yourself? Are you merciful to yourself?’ If you are not for yourself, you are not going to be happy.

‘If you’re going to be happy, you have to be happy on purpose, because there will be people, betrayals, delays, and all kinds of situations that can cause you to live sour.’ Make your own decision to be happy. Only you can make you happy. Why not do it now?

‘If you don’t get happy where you are, you probably won’t get to where you want to be.’ When it comes to your happiness, where you are matters. The people you are with matters. And what you are doing there matters.

‘You’re as happy as you want to be.’ Because your happiness is your responsibility. Do not wait for other people to make you happy. If you can’t make yourself happy, no one is going to do it for you.

‘What if we were not moved by our circumstances, but we sing in the dark, when things aren’t going your way?’ If you do not focus on what you are going through, you won’t be moved by it.

‘If you’re going to live happier, you may have to tune some things out. You can’t take in the negative all the time and stay in faith.’ Whatever is not making you happy, tune it out.

‘You can’t move forward if you’re looking back. You can’t enjoy today if you’re focused on yesterday.’- If you want a new life, get rid of what is not working for you.

‘You have to give yourself permission to be happy.’ Life is worth living when happiness is present. So if you want to stay happy, give yourself permission to live your life.

As always, no matter what you are going through in your life, remember, You are more, not less!
