Bishop T. D. Jakes—Ministerial and business visionary, entrepreneurial trailblazer, altruistic philanthropist, and spiritual shepherd to millions around the globe, is more than a man with a professional edge, but a man with an edge on life.
I am currently reading Bishop Jakes' new book Reposition Yourself, Living a Life Without Limits http://www.tdjakes.com/site/PageServer?pagename=ms2_homepage, I don't say this often, but this book will change your life. Bishop Jakes is a rare leader in our time that transcends his church ministry and his business TD Jakes Enterprises, and speaks life into the spirits, hearts and minds of many of today's young and mature Black leaders. If you do not know who this man is, well "Get Ready." His message is a powerful, timely, multifaceted, artistic combination of spiritual concepts, hard business strategy and tactics that has practical application to 21st Century life.
Take a look at the Bishop's daily Thought for the Day: http://www.tdjakes.com/site/PageServer?pagename=resrc_thought.

VIKTOR FRANKL
Just after World War II, a psychiatrist named Viktor Frankl wrote a small and powerful book called "Man's Search for Meaning." Dr. Frankl was Jewish. When the Nazi's put him in a concentration camp, he began to study the people around him.
At that time, two schools of thought defined the basic human drive. One school said our basic drive is for power. The other said we are driven by sex. In the camps, however, prisoners had no power and were too weak for sex. Yet sometimes physically strong people withered while seemingly fragile people survived.
What was the drive that sustained their lives? Frankl saw that the strongest person, without hope, would perish. But many a weak person, with hope, could go on. What we hope for gives our lives meaning.
What is your life-sustaining hope?
