Bishop T.D. Jakes Motivation – #MentorMeBishopJakes


hello believe nation I’m Evan Carmichael
my one word is believe and I believe
that entrepreneurs are going to solve
all of the world’s major problems I
started to mentor me series with the
goal to try to learn from people who’ve
done a lot more than as people who have
done amazing things that by spending a
little bit more time with them hopefully
some of their values their belief
systems their way of thinking seeped
into us to help us become the best
version of ourselves so today we’re
going to learn from Bishop TD jakes and
some of his best motivation mentoring
Bishop Jake’s real number one is my
personal favorite and I’d love to know
which one you guys like the best and as
always guys when you’re watching if you
hear something that really resonates
with you please leave it down in the
comments below and put quotes around it
so other people can be inspired as well
and when you write it down it’s much
more likely to stick with yourself to
enjoy
[Music]
Fleiss demands that you pick up the pace
if you don’t pick up the pace you don’t
be left behind I’m amazed at the people
there like the flexibility to pick up
the pace they just get in a read I
scroll down here and I’m gonna and go
stroll over here and go stroll over
there one of the most amazing things
about the disaster at Malaysia is that
when it happened everybody had to pick
up the pace all the news media had to
pick up the pace they were booking night
flights and fine over here flying over
there somebody had to work overtime
won’t be home for three days – in the
middle of night research going on
because when some of the houses and
about a pic of the face that’s why I
can’t deal with people who cannot pick
up the base don’t be scrolling when I
got a 9-1-1 on you and the people who
get picked up the page what it able to
pick up the base something’s about to
happen pick up the pace something’s
about to happen cuz up the place
something’s about to happen pick up the
pace something is about to happen pick
up the pace something is about to happen
pick up the pace something’s about to
happen I came to tell the young people
pick up the pace pick up the pace
the place hahahaha the danger of low
expectations
I would rather aim for the stars and not
hit them they did not aim at all I would
rather go after it and not get it did
not go after it at all I’d rather try
and fail did not try at all I don’t want
to live with the idea wonder what would
have happened and I’d done more with my
life I’m going to go for it come hell or
high water I’m going after my destiny
that’s the neighbors they roar do not
run after your destiny
you can’t stroll after your destiny you
can’t walk up to your destiny you gotta
run somebody Holloway
you’ve got a run you gotta run
you gotta run you can’t just wake up in
the morning if you see what’s gonna
happen today
I don’t know what I’m gonna do I don’t
know what I’m a weirdo know what I’m oh
cool I don’t know where my girl I just
woke up all you should stay in the bed
give the data somebody who’s gone wrong
after their destiny give the day to
somebody who has a plan who has a
strategy because success is never an
accident and if you don’t want it get
out of my way because there are some
people who want to do something with
their life who will run oh writes to
Timothy and says a part of the fight let
me move B and me is not easy it’s not
for the faint of heart
it’s loud in my suits you can get so
slightly but they won’t make you stand
like me I fought a good fight baby
I fought one element by our lady
fighters in here
[Applause]
what somebody tell them I fought a good
fight I my way up I fought to get
to work I fought to get up on my feet
I bought to stand about the carry oil I
bought to love
I bought to live I fought to get out the
bed I bought with my fears my doubts my
anxieties my insecurities I fought with
haters Liars back biters and betrayal I
even had to fight with family as many
times I laid in the bed I couldn’t go to
sleep cuz I was fighting with myself
haha I know I put anything what it takes
to withstand the pressure crush your
neighbors say you don’t know what’s it
guy you don’t know what you’ve got until
all hell breaks loose you don’t know
what you can take until the pressure is
applied for your life you don’t know
what you could endure in people until
people stab you in the back and walk
away from you you don’t know how much
courage to have until you’ve been under
fire and I’m their struggle and them the
tribulation you can’t learn what’s in
you sitting back at a lazy boy chair hit
the remote control watchin a trio and
cinema but when all hell breaks loose
that’s what you hit the scene
[Applause]
what you guys touch didn’t even sound
made of something and I didn’t get to
see the design I didn’t get to see the
architectural players but I know I’m
made of some good stuff I can tell by
the burdens on fear and the load I carry
and justifying your I shot myself
and what I’m able to take is not just
that I shot my enemies I shot myself
they said I was gonna die and I believe
it was through hell in Hawara
I’m still here to be anxious is to have
anxiety about something that hadn’t even
happened yet some of you are so worried
about the threat of trouble you’re not
in trouble it’s just the trouble has
threatened you as the threat of what
might happen what could happen is
wearing you down half of the things that
you thought were going to happen never
see it happen but if you allow those
thoughts as well in your mind it will
succeed and robbing you of your peace
robbing you of your jaw’s robbing you of
your life just because you lock yourself
into a nervous breakdown you
yourself into the question you thought
yourself into defeatism the mind is the
battleground the fight is in your mind
so I want to challenge you to waste no
more effort wrestling with other people
oh I lost you I lost as you were going
real good I lost
your destiny your future is not
predicated on the decision of someone
else you’ve wasted too much of your life
trying to change other people’s minds
about you it doesn’t matter what they
think about you
God is not gonna let you buy their
opinion god bless you for how you Steve
that’s somebody’s family leave out cut
it out

of business of six L never get out
hillbilly
I don’t have a little stake
I lost a lot of stuff I lost a lot of
prayers I lost a lot of strength I lost
a lot of courage I lost a lot of time I
lost a lot of money but I kept down on
my knees I was still believing broke I
was believing lonely I was believing the
play

you ever noticed that when your faith is

greatest attack because every time the
devil sisters that you’re about to walk
into who you V he goes next you’re going
to do something and he’s trying to stop
you from doing it
lots of I say just do it the enemy’s
trying to stop you from doing it because

storms and setbacks I got something to
do that’s why keep getting sick in the
body I got something to do that’s why
the devil keeps bringing up the past
kind of got something to do that’s why I
tried to break my heart
come again problem
oh here what I’m teaching this morning
shake your neighbors hands a got
something to do to be planted is destiny
concealed to have increase is destiny
reveal so when you plant a seed you
don’t plant it if the planting were the
final destination you plant it and you
can’t see it anymore
it’s destiny is concealed in the hopes
that ultimately it will become a stalk
of corn or an apple tree or whatever it
was you plant it and in between the
destiny conceal and the destiny reveal
is something we call watering and I
thought as dynamic as the text maybe to
grumble with the notion of being planted
and to grumble with the notion of having
increase seems totally irrelevant if we
don’t stop by the space of the watering
because watering is the last step before
increase it is the transition point
between what is concealed and what is
revealed and without the benefit of
watering this the destiny will die in
the ground never reaching its potential
simply because it has never been watered
and I thought I would ask you this
morning have you ever been watered I’m
reading somebody’s mail right now
you cannot embrace what I’m about to
teach if you don’t understand that you
have been planted you didn’t grow while
you didn’t just happen
you are just an afterthought you didn’t
just come to be you were planted the
sperm cell that created you I’ll slam
all of the millions of other cells
before you have a Bible before you had a
Bible before you had a hymnbook you are
already in a fight and that sellouts
where’d all the rest because you have
been planted well I want to make the
distinction about being planted because
the act of planting can be confusing to
the student who have not watched because
planting looks no different from burial
[Applause]
in order to do either one of them you
got to do some digging and once you dig
down in the ground both of them are
concealed but one of them has a destiny
and the other one does not you bury the
dead to get rid of the body
but you plant a seed so that it can go
through a transformation of coming back
up greater than it was when it went down
oh good god of earthly asshole good I
will come over here and say it again
when you plant a seed
you’re not burying it to get rid of it
you’re planting it so that it can go
through a metamorphosis and come back up
better than it was when it went down how
many people in this room have come up
better with you were
I’m better I’m better I’m better than
the walls want to went down it was good
for me that I’ve been afflicted but had
I not been afflicted I would have lived
all the glory of God I’m better for it I
didn’t like it but I’m better for it I
couldn’t see down there but I’m better
for it you see I was planted in a dark
place where my sight didn’t work for me
but I’m better for every time you go
through something dark and you can’t see
your way out remember you’ve been
planted not been buried and when you
come back
I’m coming up I’m coming up brother
right here on the come up there brother
right here on the come up if any sisters
inhale to come up are they families in
here on the come up are the preachers in
here on the come up you already been
through hell already been through hot
water already been planted already been
in a dark place but just come am in a
dark place don’t expect me to stay in a
dark place what am i he’ll write
yourself a note I have not been very I
have been planted I may be on the ground
but I’m not buried in this less I’m
planted in it I’m planted in it and if
I’m planting in it expect me to come
back up again and when I come back up
you won’t recognize me because I’m going
to be transformed by the experiences
that I had to do when you talk to women
about birth they immediately think about
being mothers but I didn’t come to talk
to you as mothers I came to talk to you
as babies who have outgrown the
parameters of the home that you live in
I came to talk to you at living
creatures who have found restrictions in
the place that you once found nurture
and nourishment and found yourself in
prison by narrow thinking people and
narrow thinking circumstances and narrow
evolving predicaments I came to tell you
that you cannot feed in one realm and
stay in that realm that if you get
enough on the inside of you you will
find a discomfort in staying in the
dimension that you once lived in and I
came to prepare your hearts in mind if
you’re not prepared to go through some
bloody stuff and some dirty stuff and
some stinky stuff you don’t want to keep
feeding of this kind of word because if
you feed of this kind of word it will
open up your mind and open up your
thinking and open up your ideas and open
up your concept into all of a sudden you
are uncomfortable in what you were once
comfortable in some of you have already
begin to experience your thinking on
another level and if it’s causing a
separation some of you have already
begin to experience it because what used
to be funny isn’t funny anymore what you
used to enjoy you don’t enjoy anymore
and what you used to be satisfied with
you’re not satisfied with anymore and
all of a sudden you don’t fit in the
places you used to fit in and you don’t
even understand it and they think you’re
acting funny if they think you’re acting
strange it may say things like you
forgot what you came from I didn’t
forget it I just can’t stay in it
[Applause]
– he said we bet I got to get out of
here I got to get out of here I got to
get out of here I got to get out of here
I got to get out of here I’ve got to get
out of here I’ve got to get out of here
you tell your twins you can stay in here
if you want to this might be okay for
you but I’ve got to get out of here even
if I have to fight my way out like Jacob
and Esau I’ve got to get out there if
I’ve got the pool and earth I’ve got to
get out I’ve got too much vision to save
this lot the hardest thing to do the
hardest thing to deal with the hardest
thing to manage the hardest thing to put
up with is transition the thing we hate
the most is transition we hate it
because it takes us out of our element
it takes us out of our comfort zone
it makes us out of the place where we
are secure and sure and we learn how to
manage and control everything you cannot
control everything when you are in
transition it is what it is it happens
like it happens I can’t get my hair done
and do it I can’t be pretty about it I
got to come out anyway I can I’m in
transition I can’t meet with the board
or talk to the committee or get anybody
to approve it when my water breaks get
ready here I come if it’s under a three
is this under a boss if it’s against the
wall with the water breaks that’s not
fun here I come
such a negative move
move and grow out of this spot move I’m
coming into another dimension move I see
a door on them from it lose I see the
bond permission to step Lou I see the
boy of God calling me know if enough
people like me then I am how many people
follow you on twitter I got to get my
following up I got to get my friends up
because if I have popularity who you got
quality if I if I let me show you how
many people follow me you don’t miss
your start if I laugh it’s a bother me
[Applause]
so I am because of who follows me who
lacks me popularity base identity ooh
performance based identity if you do
this you be the fun of God if they like
you
you’ll be the Son of God if I give you
enough possesses you’ll be now let me
show you something I’m teaching just do
it okay and yet I’m criticizing doing it
to define who you are
well I’m the future I’ll do it a lot do
it you do you just said just do it and
then you turn around and said not to
define myself by what I do
can I protect my own text which way is
it Revit do I do it or not do it the
problem is not about doing it it is why
you do it
what I am criticizing is putting the
doing before the beam so that you think
that if I do this I will be somebody if
I’ve got this I will be somebody if they
like me I will be then you got it
backwards the people that know their God
shall be and then do and because you’re
doing doesn’t come from the deeper place
of being it hasn’t worked for you
because you are who you are you can do
what you can do but if you’re trying to
find out who you are by doing things you
will never find out who you are by doing
you have to start with being so there
you are you didn’t well I want you to
see this I don’t want to lose you this
because the difference between the tool
determines the direction of your destiny
if you’re always seeking a certain
status to validate who you are you’re
never going to have peace you have to
know who you are and then you can climb
to the status you can’t climb up to find
yourself you have to find yourself so
you can climb up all right
climb up to find yourself you have to
find yourself so you can climb up so you
can be who you are before anybody knows
who you are so that means you could be
rich while you broke
you can fit you can be healed while you
say you could be loose while you bow it
does not yet appear what you sell me it
hasn’t showed up once you sell me but
you got to be it before you can get it
woman Wow no it looks like you’re tired
up I know you’ve been bowled over for 18
years I know your conditions don’t
validate you but let me tell you about
who you are you are loose not gonna be
loose not savvy loose you are loosed on
the inside because you’re down
and deliver right all right now I have
it so I can’t do it I know I came to
deliver a message to every person in
this room who’s had a struggle who’s had
some pains who’s had some tests who’s
got some creative ideas but you’ve gone
through some really tough stuff let me
tell you some of the stuff you’ve been
through don’t pay it any attention it is
just a sign that the baby is coming you
are on the verge of birthday you’re on
the verge of birthing you’re on the
verge of perfect you’re about to give
birth I want you to touch everybody you
can reach and tell us the baby is coming
the baby is coming the baby is coming
the baby is coming the baby is coming
the baby is coming the baby is coming
the baby is coming you don’t want to
leave me now the baby is coming you
don’t want to walk out on me now the
baby is coming I haven’t had my best
idea yet I haven’t had my most creative
moment yet I haven’t produced my dream
yet I don’t care whether you’re 30 40 50
60 70 there’s something bound inside of
you that’s still kicking inside of you
that wants to get out and it wants to
live it wants to laugh the whole reason
you’re here today is because there’s
something in you that needs to be fed
that needs to be starred that needs to
be electrified that needs to be a la
mañana
that’s something
nah
[Applause]
directly across to the greatest
[Music]
[Applause]
anybody who is going to listen they’re
going to miss it
they’re going to miss the greatest part
of you the greatest part of your destiny
the greatest part of your creativity it
took everything you went through
yesterday to get you ready for what you
are about to do today you are standing
on the verge of a Great Awakening or you
wouldn’t be here is not talking to you
like some toys in this
[Applause]
Oh
their business in the news company busy
concepts in you books to be written
paintings to be drawn concepts to be
birth ideas creative concepts there’s
something that you could do that you
could think in your life that would
radically change your life somebody
could take the hand you’ve been built
and win with it same circumstances same
ideas they would do it through what they
thought about your life but we don’t
need somebody because we got you we got
you you’re the one you are the one I
want you to join hands with somebody for
just a minute I’m telling you right now
if you are going to birth your dream
you’re calling your passion and the
second half of your life you can’t draw
back when life gets tough you’ve got to
stand up to it and push get that person
by the hand because there’s something
inside of them that is about to happen
squeeze their hand and when I count to
three I want every man and every woman
that’s got a concept that’s got an idea
I want you to push with all your might
until dreams and concepts and ideas
start to birth out of you in the middle
of the night you’ll need pens and pads
by your bed tonight to survive to get up
in the middle of the night I start write
about all this
so let’s go start coming out of your
spirit are you ready

[Music]
always go to something bigger than
yourself
I’m wondering if you’ve been defeated
because you have been giving yourself
wholly to something that was too small
to hold have you thrusts yourself into a
glass of water if have you leapt off the
diving board into a cereal bowl person
are you not guilty of immersing yourself
into things that were too small to hold
your vision oh my god they’re so good
I’m gonna get the CD myself Jesus sent
him to throw himself into something that
was bigger than his condition and he had
to go to get to it he had to get out of
his comfort zone my problem is so many
times you’ve thrown big ideas as small
people
you’ve given big commitment to cereal
–bowl people and you’re trying to get
your sight back from a source that’s too
small to support what you’re willing to
put in is your investment bigger than
the bank you should see the way you’re
looking at me his roar is the reason you
keep being disappointed by people is
that you have wholly throwing yourself
into something that was too small
Jesus sends him to something that is
bigger than himself so he can wash his
eye are you trying to take a bath in a
bowl
