A Quote by Joel Osteen

I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life. — © Joel Osteen
I'm not trying to follow a set of rules and stuff. I'm just living my life.
My whole purpose of being a musician is to not follow the rules, so if I set rules for myself, I've already failed.
As an American married to an Englishman and living in France, I've spent much of my adult life trying to decode the rules of conversation in three countries. Paradoxically, these rules are almost always unspoken.
The most successful people do not make up the rules as they go. They have a set of rules that they follow and they stick to them.
I have a slight controversy with the Dogme brethren because I've been saying that rules are to be interpreted; not that I haven't followed the rules, because I don't see the point of submitting yourself to a set of rules if you don't follow them. But having said that, it is always a lot of interpretation.
For a long time, I was living my life my way and not God's way. I wasn't living it by his rules, I was living it by my own rules. And that didn't get me anywhere. I got to the point where I had no hope.
Following rules is, of course, the reason the dog is man's best friend is because the dog follows rules, and they actually do experiments on that, is that how well certain breeds of dogs follow rules, and how much they internalize them. And so many hierarchical animals, obviously they follow rules.
For 47 years, the U.K. has been forced to follow rules set by Brussels bureaucrats, many of whom have never set a foot on British soil.
I have great friends around me that are positive and I think that's the key to life is making your own path. Set your own rules because there is no set rule, there is no set look, there is no set anything. You make your own rules in your life. You make your own decisions.
The People's Republic of China has 2 million strong in its military, and it's trying to make them stronger through gene editing, and that's just one of the ways that China is trying to essentially dominate the planet and set the rules and the world order.
Those have been the two biggest challenges of my life: trying to follow Radiohead, and trying to follow Brad Pitt.
I am not a methodical singer. I don't follow any process or rules; what I follow is just my heart - whatever I experience, I just write and then compose it.
Fools follow rules when the set commands ya...
People will say 'how can you have a plane when your workers are on minimum wage?' I said 'but I don't set the minimum wage.' If the minimum wage would be the living wage, then the Government who set the rules should set it at the living wage. That's how I look at it.
This is one of the good parts of being a freelancer - you get to choose the spot you're going to be working at. But I wouldn't base everything on my social media or my work. I'm also a person and I have my personal life. So my social media is my work. It's an important part of my life but it's not my life. People tend to get the wrong idea because they only see the good stuff but it's just my work. I'm trying to portray only the good stuff and what I think is going to be inspiring. I have a personal Instagram where my friends follow me.
Genius simply cannot be reduced to a set of rules for anyone to follow.
I think you don't break new ground in anything in life if you are willing to just follow the rules.
