Life as we know it is not a bed of roses. We must constantly encourage ourselves and push for greatness. Sometimes, we get to some points where we feel like we can't go further than this, but if there's one thing you should know, it is 'While you're still  breathing, never ever  give up'. Let these quotes from T.D Jakes further  inspire you to be a better version of yourself. 1. “Don’t stop at where you are as if it were the destination, when in fact, in reality, it may be the transportation that brings you into that thing you were created to do.” Our current circumstances should never limit us from reaching our true potential. We must turn our struggles into the vehicles that spur our transformation. 2. "Everything you’ve gone through is preparation for what’s about to happen in your life. The LORD has already given you a word, MOVE!" When we "move," we bring about the growth we desire. Tragedy hasn’t stopped you, heartbreak didn’t...

One effective  way to know your purpose is to discover  your passion, as it would lead you right into your  purpose

We all know that it’s important to slow down sometimes for the good of our health, but the benefits of taking it easy can actually increase productivity as well. Limiting action and allocating more time for restfulness doesn’t have to mean trading in productivity. There are a few cases were slowing down will still get the most out of our time. 1. Schedule everything; especially time for yourself. The first rule of time management is effective scheduling and a small way to do that is by making lists. Writing things down is a powerful tool because putting goals into words makes them more likely to be achieved. Writing things down helps to unjumble the many priorities and responsibilities that require your attention. Making a to do list, for example, cuts out time that would have been spent trying to organize and reorganize priorities. Research by Human Behavioral Specialist Dr. John Demetri has shown that making lists to break down large projects into smaller tasks also ...

Pt. 7 of an in-depth series on Destiny guided by T.D. Jakes' most popular lessons.         There is nothing like discovering your purpose. Other than your birth, there is no greater moment in your life than the moment you realize the reason you were born. Trust me: There is nothing like it. The instant you discover your purpose, everything begins making sense — what you’ve been through; why you did “this” instead of “that; why this trauma happened; and why God allowed various things to happen in your life that did not happen to others who came from the same background. The problem we often run into is the fact that we compare our “infancy” to the greatness of maturity. We look at the individuals who are living the lives we want to live, and we believe that our first steps into that field will place us on the path to realizing the end results at a much faster rate. After all, we study the “g...

Have you ever found yourself mulling over mistakes of the past? Is there a decision you have recently made that you now regret? Are there people you admire who seem to never be “down and out” and always have a smile on their face? Everybody makes mistakes but that doesn’t mean you should be dwelling on them. You can’t be happy while carrying around regret and the key to living your life without regret is to live according to your chosen life path, your destiny. “How do I figure out my life path?” The answer may not be easy to find. You may need to take some time to figure out what you want to do. That is okay! Just remember that the answer comes from within. T.D Jakes points out that we need to take the time to get to know ourselves. God already has a purpose for you but you must remain faithful. Life is about being on a journey. It is not about the destination. It’s about where you are going. T.D Jakes speaks about us not limiting ourselv...

You are exactly where you need to be. Every step, tumble and break has polished you; your resilience is beyond measure.  Regardless of what people say, or what problems may come, know that you are on the right path. You will fulfill your purpose on this earth--without a doubt. Feeling unanchored or lost is completely normal, temporary and will pass. It is precisely during life’s toughest storms when we cultivate our deepest understanding and knowledge of ourselves and our potential. Pablo Picasso said, “The meaning of life is to find your gift.  The purpose of life is to give it away.” In fact our purpose in life is found when our power and potential align. When we acknowledge, define and celebrate our strengths, we are not only unstoppable, but of great benefit to others. Researchers in the Department of Psychology at Trent University found that people who connected with meaning and purpose in life experienced more physical and emotional well-being....

Muhammad Ali said, “It isn’t the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out, it’s the pebble in your shoe.” The champ was referring to the everyday distractions that take us off course and keep us from seeing the bigger picture of our lives. While the mountain, our life’s purpose, is always ahead of us, the pebbles often trip us up. We may perpetuate unhealthy behaviors, patterns and thoughts in our lives by worrying about all the what ifs, could have beens and never-going-to-be’s. Keep your eyes fixed on that mountain! Eliminate the pebbles, one by one. Use these tips to clear out the pesky hindrances to your progress: 1. Fix the small stuff. In our lifetimes, we will spend four solid years doing housework and an entire year just looking for things we have lost in our homes.  Precious days of our life are squandered if we lack discipline and preparation. You envision opening your own business one day, for example, yet haven’t made real...
