GLS 2018: Session 2 – Bishop TD Jakes

  • How do I translate all this information into my life?
  • I want to talk with those who do not have enough to get there: enough time, enough money, etc.
  • A vision can be tormented. You want a vision so big that you have to choose you tell it too.
  • I am the son of an educator and a janitor.
  • My father started a business in 1960 with a mop and a bucket and a borrowed truck. It sounded ridiculous. He did it. I learned to believe in crazy stuff.
  • You need a vision that goes beyond your provision.
  • I was amazed by the Wright Brothers story. I’m amazed by someone who can stand on the ground, look in the air and say, “I belong up there.”
  • You need to think something that scares you. You need to think beyond your means. You need to get out of your comfort zone and scared to death. When you are petrified, you are also electrified.
  • The greatest things that have ever happened in our lives scared us at the beginning.
  • When you get together, you can do more together.
  • Ended up writing a play with Tyler Perry called “Woman, Thou Art Loosed.”
  • Things happen in small places. What started in Dayton, OH ended up in Kitty Hawk, NC. They moved the plane from Dayton because the wind wasn’t right. If you do the right thing at the wrong time, it wouldn’t work.
  • Colonel Sanders couldn’t open KFC today. It has be the right when.
  • I want to talk to the person who is struggling. It is going to fly. It is going to soar.
  • What really stimulates growth is losing. You’ll learn more from losing. It’s what you learn there that will help you fly.
  • The thing that inspired the Wright brothers were not engineers; it was eagles. Eagles make love in the air. They make nests on cliffs. When the eggs hatch, they kick the kids out of the house. Eagles learn how to fly by falling.  The eaglet is not trying to fly; it’s trying not to die.
  • What did you learn from your last failure and how has it prepared you to soar?  What did you learn from the deal you did not get, the person who left?
  • If you’ve got more notes than money at the end of this talk, I want to talk to you.
  • If you’re making bicycles and dreaming about airplanes, I want to talk to you.
  • To believe that the excuses can no longer be fences for the limitations. To believe that you can stand on the ground, but you belong in the air. If you can keep flapping and falling, flapping and falling, and eventually you get your rhythm.
  • They may laugh at your start but they’ll take pictures when you get it.
