TD JAKES – The Greatest Motivational Speech of 2018 – MOTIVATIONAL SPEECH FOR SUCCESS


too many times we have put so much focus
while teaching you to be good seed that
we haven’t taught you the power of good
soil and so when we come to Solis issues
the seed ignores the soil we flick the
channel that has nothing to do with me
we close our eyes because we have been
taught to be good seed but we have not
been taught to pay attention Jesus says
the sole word for sowing seed and in
some fell by the wayside some pheromones
rot some fell among stores and look at
positioning has a lot to do worship to
be in an environment in a family that
supports to my sister and I were talking
the other day I will tell her what an
amazing person she is that all of our
lives together and and all the things
that God did in my life not once in all
of the years that I’ve known her and she
was there when mama hardly have I ever
known her to be jealous of me not once
not ever she has always been my
cheerleader my greatest fan and she said
how can I be jealous of my brother I
and some of my development has to be
that God planted me the people that
supported me my brother my sister my
mother my father they all supported Lee
you can have good seed but if you’ve
been in bad soil people who hated you
environments that denied you education
that underserved you communities that
I’ll do you hear what I’m saying if your
soil wasn’t right it doesn’t mean that
you’re not right but if your soil wasn’t
right it’s gonna affect how you root and
how you grow a little bit gross will
choke you out while the rocks will not
have enough soul till you reach to grow
[Music]
for something you ought to be blaming
the soil for you cannot take a peach
seed and plant it in a teaspoon of dirt
and expect it to grow though the
teaspoon of the dirt is the same size as
the peach seed it will not grow the seed
will only grow when it is planted in
something bigger than itself and I want
to know where are you playing it this
morning are you playing it is something
bigger than you have you always been
resources people if enough people like
me then I am how many people following
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 quite
again if if let me show you how many
people follow me
so I am because of who follows me who
performance based identity if you do
this you’ll be the fun of God if they
like you you’ll be the Son of God if I
give you my possessions 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 confused said I do it a lot
good you just said just do it and then
you turn around and said not to define
can I protect my old text which way is
it
reven 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 being so
that you think that if I do this I will
be somebody if I bought this I will be
somebody if they like me I will be there
you got it backwards the people that
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 get it I want you to
see this I don’t want to lose you this
because the difference between the two
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 you can’t 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 can 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 you have you
thrusts yourselves into a glass of water
have you leapt off the diving board into
are you not guilty of immersing yourself
into things that were too small to hold
your vision oh my god this 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
ball 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 it’s your it’s the reason
you keep being disappointed by people is
that you have wholly throwing yourself
life’s to me and said you pick up the
place if you don’t pick up the pace
you gonna be left behind I’m amazed at
the people that lack the flexibility to
pick up the pace
they just get in a read I scroll down
here and I’m gonna throw back and go
stroll over here I’m gonna stroll over
there one of the most amazing thing
about the disaster and 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 flying over here flying over
there somebody had to work overtime
won’t be home for three days typing in
the middle of night research going off
because when something happens that’s
why I can’t deal with people who cannot
pick up the pace
don’t be strolling when I got and one of
you pick up the pace something’s about
to happen pick up the pace something’s
about to happen pick up the pace
something’s about to happen pick up the
pace something’s 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
[Music]
I would rather aim for the stars and not
hit them then to 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 live with
the idea wonder what would have happened
had I done more with my life I’m gonna
go for it come my destiny touch the
neighbors a rod to your destiny you
can’t stroll after your destiny
you can’t walk after your destiny you
gotta run
[Music]
[Applause]
since we’re talking about business we’re
talking about money you can’t beat
tribal and be a global thinker at the
same time the reason money is called
currency is that it needs to be able to
flow and the issue is do you have a
vision that flows beyond people who look
like you dressed like you and vote like
you and if you’re gonna do business you
can’t do segregated business and do it
well if you’ve got a product that you
believe in or message that you believe
in or a movie that you believe in or
whatever it is you want to reach the
broadest amount of people and most
people think probably all of their
relationships their contacts their
associates are tribal and you block the
ability to succeed when you bought the
I was believing not only I was believing
betrayed
just three Fremont um keep the faith
keep the faith
if you lose the job keep the faith if
you lose the spouse keep the faith if
to be planted is destiny conceal to have
increase is destiny reveal so when you
plant a seed you don’t plant it as 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 revealed
is something we call watering and I
thought as dynamic as the text may be to
grapple 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 station of watering
because watering is the last step
before increase it is a transition point
between what is concealed and what is
revealed and without the benefit of
watering this the thedestiny 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 wild you
didn’t just happen you aren’t just an
afterthought you didn’t just come to be
you were planted the sperm cell that
created you out swam all of the millions
before you had a Bible before you had a
hymnbook you are already in a fight and
that sellouts where of all the rest
because you have been planted
[Applause]
well I want to make the distinction
about being plaintiff because the act of
planting can be confusing to the student
who has not watched because planting
in order to do either one of them you
got to do some digging and once you’re
deep 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 reversal that’s so good I’m
gonna 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 has come up better
I’m better I’m better I’m better than it
was when it went down it was good for me
that I’ve been afflicted for had I not
been afflicted I would have lived with
all of 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 said 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
I’m coming up I’m coming up brother
right here on the come up and said
brother right here on the come up and
any sisters in here on the come up are
they did families in here on the come up
are they any creatures in here on the
karma you already been through hell
already been through hot water already
been planted already been in a dark
place but just cuz I’ll in a dark place
don’t expect me to stay in a dark place
write yourself a note I have not been
buried I have been planted I may be
underground but I’m not buried in this
mess I’m planted in it
I’m planted in it and if I planted in it
expect me to come back up again and when
I come back up you won’t recognize me
because I’m gonna be transformed by the
experiences that I had to do friend that
too many times we have put so much focus
on teaching you to be good seed that we
haven’t taught you the power of good
soil and so when we come to Solis issues
the seed ignores the soil we flick the
channel that has nothing to do with me
we close our eyes because we have been
taught to be good seed but we have not
been taught to pay attention to says the
soul was full sowing seed and in son
fell by the wayside some fell among some
fellow monsters and look at your
positioning has a lot to do flourish it
to be in an environment in a family that
supports you my sister and I were
talking the other day I will tell her
what an amazing person she is that all
of our lives together and and all the
things that God did in my life not once
in all of the years that I’ve known her

I ever known her to be jealous of me not
once not ever she has always been my
cheerleader my greatest fan and she said
how could I be jealous of you here my
brother I said a lot of people have
siblings
and some of it has to be the God that
supported me my brother my sister my
mother my father they all supported me
you can have good seed but if you’ve
been in bad soil people who hated you
environmental education that underserved
communities if your soil for something
you ought to be blaming the soil for you
cannot take a peach seed and plant it in
a teaspoon of dirt and expect it to grow

same size as a pc it will not grow the
seed will only grow when it is planted
in something bigger than itself
[Applause]
are you playing it is something bigger
than you or have you always been planted
in teacups surrounded by little dirt
little resources small-minded people
narrow limited places never let you stretch to reach your capacity
