TD Jakes motivation

His words are as follows : 

I almost quit I'm a country boy I'm from
West Virginia enough about this big damn
stuff I just I never even asked to be
big I wanted to be effective not famous
famous is the consequences of being
effective I didn't know anything about
being famous and I didn't like it and so
there I was and when you first knew
everybody attacks you first and figures
you out later
and the first time I was in The
Washington Post the article was so
vicious it lately lucious I was so
shocked that you could say that stuff
about somebody you didn't even know
based on assumptions and a little bit of
this and a little bit of that make
pieces all together and you don't get
the same thing back so I decided I don't
want this feature from pastor Bishop
volunteers and I was nobody knew it
because preachers can override their
feelings and function at priests places
on fire but inside I want to quit I told
God I'm through with this I'm not going
through this I don't leave this I don't
see I don't leave that I'm a dad who
likes to go get his own chicken wings I
don't have to have all of that stuff to
be happy so I'm not doing this no more
I'm not doing it I'm not doing this I'm
not doing this because I don't need this
and I didn't ask for this I'm only doing
this because of what happened in my life
of the certain things that happened in
my life he put me on stage I didn't ask
for it and when I saw how much it costs
I thought you have that right back here
you had that right back up in here I'll
need it I was mad inside I was hurt and
I stayed up in the fellowship with the
pastor's cuz I didn't want to go back to
my room and sulk in my own sorrows and
they said there's a lady downstairs
waiting the sealed service was over and
the fellowship was over the pastor
started Levi's trying out waiter
I thought she'd give up and leave and
when I finally came down the steps she
was there and she was just a will and
wish bit of a woman and she said fishel
jacks
she said I've been in the hospital she
said I was pregnant in my fallopian
tubes and the baby died in my tubes and
I was carrying around a dead baby and
the toxicity from the baby almost killed
me she said
the only thing that kept me alive was
here you treat
she said if he hadn't been preaching to
me every day
[Music]
and then she looked at me she said it's
for us it's not for them it's for us
it had me smart I didn't even get her
name I kind of look re and crying our
way back to my mother because she's
Amanda Lee why I was there last week
when I text you
I was up in Baltimore DC and I was doing
a book signing and this family came up
to the table device or she said you
don't remember me to you
I said no she didn't even look like the
same versus all dressed up and gained
the weight she said I would say she said me
I met you in the mouth
research years ago a burst in tears I
lost it I stopped the fan and I jumped
at the mountain, if it were not for that
woman
you
