UNCONDITIONAL LOVE VERSUS UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER

To all Ladder of Achievement survivors, enthusiasts, and novices, remember that to achieve the mission, the goals, the objectives, and the ultimate purposes for your very existence, your internal focus has to be an unconditional love for the people who make your existence possible especially your Ultimate Creator. To ignore the collaborators of your human existence, you will be remiss in understanding WHO YOU ARE AND WHY YOU EXIST.

Your Ideal is to be the best of WHO YOU ARE with your time, your talents, and
your treasures that are uniquely yours. There are many persons who have the aptitudes of a "thimble;" but if their achievements exceed their "thimble capacity," they are considered over-achievers. There are some persons who have the aptitudes of an "eight-ounce glass," but their attitude in using their aptitudes is "half-full." And, there are a select few whose aptitudes are a "gallon-jug," but their apathetic attitude affects the altitude they are capable of achieving with their "gallon-job" superb aptitudes. To will to do the best with what we have received means an unconditional attitude and love for the achievement level that more than excels their special uniqueness. Unconditional love means giving without any thought of return or looking for any earthly compensations. To provide services with the unique talents that each of us has been given demands an unconditional love to make a return on the investment of time, talent, and treasures of some many special people in our lives. To lay down our lives for the sake of others means a daily giving of ourselves to the service of others without any strings attached.

Unconditional surrender often entails compromising absolute principles for the sake of comfort, selfishness, greed, and self-complacency. Giving in to the wiles of the world, the flesh, and the demonic enticements means living a lie and living a life of hypocrisy that eventually destroys our uniqueness as a human being. How many persons are brainwashed everyday through the depth approach of the marketing empires? How many persons are engulfed in spending beyond their means and losing all of their earthly possessions because they believed in the lies perpetrated by masters of deceit? How many persons have grown lax in their personal, holistic growth because of their apathy, indifference, and their selfishness that destroys their very human existence? Secular, humanistic allurements often deceive even the most wealthy, the most intelligent, and the most susceptible to lusty enticements that weakens even the strong personality and the spiritually endowed. Unconditional surrender means losing all of your talents, your time, and your treasures to worthless enterprises and hopeless dreams. If the prospect seems to be too good to be true, it is too good to be true!

To all Achievement Ladder Challengers, you are encouraged to grow in your unconditional love for yourself, for your neighbor, and for your Ultimate Creator. The Un-caused Cause of this Universe has already given each of us human life at our conception with the opportunity to grow as a fully developed human being in collaboration with our parents. Our parents offered us unconditional love through our growing years if they were in tune with the Creator of the Universe and if they respected themselves and their children during the challenges of our human development. Even after we matured to adulthood, our parents continued to show their positive concerns and their unconditional love for their children by encouraging them in all of their efforts.


Remember to thank your parents for giving you the opportunity to learn by your mistakes, to learn that our time, our talents, and our treasures are most effectively and efficiently used for unconditional love of their children and their grandchildren. Thanks, Mom and Dad, for the gifts of LIFE AND LOVE it is great to be alive! Thank you for giving us the lifelong lessons to achieve daily as we now climb up and down the Ladder of Achievement with LOVE!
