The Wall

When we invest and push to achieve a goal, there’s inevitably a moment where we will hit a wall.

This is the moment we ask: Is it time to let go or push through?

When you hit this wall, this is the time to do, not think. Don’t ask questions. Just keep going.

Just beyond that wall is where the greatest amount of Light is waiting.

@Yehuda Berg

A Piscean versus

This is me the Piscean, soft, spiritual mystic, loving, mysterious and misunderstood

Fickle in nature, not wanting to be captive, especially loving freedom; Pisces versus who then if not a Scorpio, is it a Taurian…can I be bounded by rules or do I want to break free and run wild.

My chance meetings with Virgos, never feared well, this is just me a lost Pisces who

Has no base in reality.  What about a Capricorn, what about a Sagittarian…it would never work too much of a strong willed personality would trample the poor fish feelings to hurt.

Ok live life, it’s not in the starts respect others and they will respect you. 

Treat others with dignity, finally open yourself to be loved like no other, welcome it

With open arms and treat it like the precious water that a fish so need to survive.

Complicated Image

Sometimes I do believe he loves me,

Sometimes I don’t, he is hard to figure out,

controversial like religion,

and yet there is some sense within.

He tries very hard to be complicated,

He has succeeded with years of practice,

He is calm on the outside, but inside he is fighting his own war,

war of emotions.

I am trying to understand, he won’t let me in,

I am falling, should I stop myself?

Should I try?

Me and Mr. Complicated image

I will probably give him another try.

= Marcia Skervin James, 2000

Man's mind

Man's mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original

dimensions.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr

Budha

The secret of health for both mind and body is not to mourn for the past,

not to worry about the future, nor to anticipate troubles, but to live in the

present moment wisely and earnestly. - Budha

My Thoughts......

The End is always the Beginning

I was close to the end; I had nothing more to give.  I was empty I was loss

Hit rock bottom so hard.

A voice within said the end is always the beginning, there is nowhere else to go rise

Meet the challenges ahead; fight a little harder, fight another day ahead

Forged new beginnings, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, scarred with life’s

Battle, I have won, you have won

The end is the new beginning.

Marcia Skervin James, 1996....

Real Living

If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else. It

will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are

only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them.

Bruce Lee

Commitment, The First Step

 Take the first step in faith. You don’t have to see the whole

staircase. Just take the first step.

M A R T I N L U T H E R K I N G J R.

No matter your present circumstances, the first step to making a change is the commitment to change.

At some level we are all familiar with what commitment means. Yet

many of us do not understand the essential elements needed to make it

real, to capture its magic.

To have a genuine commitment requires two things. The first is desire.

The very fact that you have read this far is proof that you have desire. The second is faith. You need to commit on faith. We have the tools and the system that will allow you to become a millionaire. You need to have the faith in the process.

With your desire and your willingness to have faith in our proven system, commitment will emerge. It will strengthen as you take each enlightened step.

Hans Selye, the pioneer in the understanding of human stress, was

often asked the following question. “What is the most stressful condition

a person can face?” His unexpected response: “Not having something to

believe in.”

Excerpts from One Minute Millionaire

"Turning Tables"

"Turning Tables"

Close enough to start a war
All that I have is on the floor
God only knows what we're fighting for
All that I say, you always say more

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe

So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables

Under haunted skies I see you (ooh)
Where love is lost your ghost is found
I braved a hundred storms to leave you
As hard as you try, no, I will never be knocked down, whoa

I can't keep up with your turning tables
Under your thumb I can't breathe

So, I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
Turning tables

Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
When the thunder calls for me
Next time I'll be braver
I'll be my own savior
Standing on my own two feet

I won't let you close enough to hurt me,
No, I won't rescue you to just desert me
I can't give you the heart you think you gave me
It's time to say goodbye to turning tables
To turning tables
Turning tables, yeah
Turning, oh

Our Soul's Desire

The ego is not the true you. The true you is your soul, which like the Light, only wants to share infinitely.

The ego and its selfish desires are not really ours.

We may think, “I want my money,” or “I want my soul mate,” or “I want this job,” or “I want to understand why this is happening,” or “I want an answer!”

But the real you – your soul – really just wants to share.
Yehuda Burg 

ENOUGH IS NEVER ENOUGH

I will not settle for less, in any area of my life. I want everything that is possible.

Healthy Mind, Body and Soul……………

I let go of any darkness and doubts that prevent me from having it all, including eternal happiness and peace on earth.

I release all the negative and toxic energy that has clouded my very judgment, I am pursuing peace and happiness and a balance life.
All things wonderful are possible, and I will make them a part of my daily existence.

Through The Power of Positive Thinking….

Extra Measures

Go the extra mile in everything you do.

When you feel you have shared enough, share a little more. When you feel you have worked enough, stay an extra 30 minutes and begin the work that will need to be done tomorrow. When you give charity, give a few dollars more than you had wanted.

Our ego does not like to take the extra measure. Whenever you feel as if you want to stop, quit, or even run away, that is the time you need to gather up more strength – because there is so much more Light to be had in that instant!

Don’t be afraid to go to bed a little exhausted tonight. You may feel tired, but you will feel immensely more victorious.
Yehuda Berg

The Begining

My mother will say that I was born for a purpose, a blessed child.  She will tell you that after returning to Jamaica from England in 1972 she was seven months pregnant.  My mother will tell you that I was conceived in one country and born in another.  My mother would further say that on her journey home via a ship, she carried her Trans Atlantic baby.

My birth was just as unusual, I was born in St. Catherine, Jamaica I was a breached baby, I stayed exactly three days in St. Catherine and returned to my home Kingston, again proving once more that time and space are really a matter of variable.

I am Marcia Skervin James, the last child for James and Belvit Skervin.

I was age 16, when I began charity and volunteer work, at the time I worked closely with the citizens association in my community, I had an urge to serve, I found that giving of myself was one of the most fulfilling things, it is was the connectivity of life an opportunity to learn and grow.

I am on a journey, where the beginning is the end and the end is my new beginning.

A Thought

Are you bored with life? Then throw yourself into some work you believe in

with all your heart, live for it, die for it, and you will find happiness that

you had thought could never be yours.

Dale Carnegie



 This piece is dedicated to Ronald Skervin ........Sept 3, 1963 - October 28, 2011

Refuse to complain

Complaining is just a way of not taking responsibility, justifying doing nothing, and programming yourself to fail.  Complaining creates the illusion that you have done something.  Instead, pour your energy into improving your situation.  When you find ways to be productive and maintain a sense of optimism, you demonstrate that you are in control of your own life. 

Complainers focus on what has happened, and give up their power.  Winners focus on making things happen, and using their power to find solutions to their challenges.

You were born to create something magnificent with your life!! Solution-based thinking gives you that power.   You deserve!!

Les Brown

Doubting Doubt

We teach that one of the most powerful tools to regain control our lives is having certainty in the Light. Certainty that no matter what is happening, the Light is there for us to connect to. For many of us, this is easier said than done. When doubts come in, it’s a challenge for all of us.

Here’s a great secret: Use your uncertainty to work for you, instead of against you!

Doubt your doubts!

When we doubt our own doubts, we can move forward with certainty. - Yehuda Burg

Everything that is happening at this moment is a result of the choices you've

made in the past.

Deepak Chopra

Value

Value is the worth or cost of a thing. There are many things in life that have value but there is no comparison to the value of time. Time, if gone, cannot be earned back where as all other things like money, respect, education can be earned. The value of time has to be realized by everyone and cherished. It would be appropriate to quote Scott Peck who said, “Until you value yourself you won’t value your time. Until you value your time you will not do anything with it “. Other things that have great value are friendship, compassion, love and success. It is crucial to know the value of each so that we can appreciate them and work hard enough to gain them. One who does not know the value is insane. Oscar wilde says, a cynic is the man who knows the price of everything but knows the value of nothing”.

Book Excerpt - Peace from Broken Pieces

Until and unless you know that you are enough just the way you are, you will always be driven to look for more. Knowing that you are enough is a function of consciousness. Your enough-ness develops in direct proportion to the relationship you have with your true identity. Until you wholeheartedly believe in your own worth, in spite of your accomplishments and possessions, there will be a void in your Spirit. I had more than a void. I had a gaping hole that no amount of achievement, money, or acknowledgment could fill. I'm not good enough, and I will never be good enough to deserve this kind of attention. It was the personal lie, the core belief running my show, encouraging me to blow up my life just to prove once and for all that I wasn't good enough to have or keep what was coming my way. There was a part of me that knew that I was on purpose, the same purpose the spiritualist had made me aware of so many years before—ushering other people on their spiritual journey. I wanted to do just that, be of service and support to others. There was, however, a part of me that refused to believe I could be that valuable.

After the fourth or fifth telephone call from the executive, I concluded that the offer warranted my attention. I knew there was a lesson I needed to learn, but I had no clue what it was. I decided to reengage my spiritual practice of prayer and fasting. I committed to pray and fast for seven days or until I got the direction I needed. The issue at hand was whether to stay at Harpo or leave and start my own show. My preference was to stay put, but I had that black hole in my Spirit to be filled.

On the sixth morning, I awakened with the thought, The time is now. I shot straight up in my bed and spoke aloud, "I am not leaving Harpo." As if someone were whispering in my ear, I heard it again, The time is now! Time for what? I concluded that the message meant that it was time for me to stand on my own. Then I came face to face with the belief that I was not good enough to stand on my own. That meant I was avoiding the offer because fear was driving my choice. But I really didn't want to leave Harpo; it was the opportunity of a lifetime. Why would I walk away from a blessing as huge as the one on my plate? Then I had one little egotized show me that I am good enough! thought. The thought was: Tell Oprah what is going on and ask her if she would be willing to back my show. Seemed like a good idea at the time.

A Dollar and Some Ambition by Jim Rohn

 
 

Each of us has two distinct choices to make about what we will do with our lives.

The first choice we can make is to be less than we have the capacity to be. To

earn less. To have less. To read less and think less. To try less and discipline

ourselves less. These are the choices that lead to an empty life. These are the

choices that, once made, lead to a life of constant apprehension instead of a life

of wondrous anticipation.

And the second choice? To do it all! To become all that we can possibly be. To

read every book that we possibly can. To earn as much as we possibly can. To

give and share as much as we possibly can. To strive and produce and accomplish

as much as we possibly can. All of us have the choice. To do or not to do. To be

or not to be. To be all or to be less or to be nothing at all.

Like the tree, it would be a worthy challenge for us all to stretch upward and

outward to the full measure of our capabilities. Why not do all that we can, every

moment that we can, the best that we can, for as long as we can?

Our ultimate life objective should be to create as much as our talent and ability

and desire will permit. To settle for doing less than we could do is to fail in this

worthiest of undertakings.

Results are the best measurement of human progress. Not conversation. Not

explanation. Not justification. Results! And if our results are less than our

potential suggests that they should be, then we must strive to become more

today than we were the day before. The greatest rewards are always reserved for

those who bring great value to themselves and the world around them as a result

of who and what they have become.

To Your Success,

Jim Rohn
