ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS' CONSTRUCTION CHALLENGE

In living a life worth living from day to day, each Achievement Ladder Enthusiast recognizes that the world, the flesh, and the devil are challenges that bring barriers to effectively making the necessary steps and climbs to the Ultimate Goal of achieving one's life goals one step at a time. The distractions of being in the world but not of the world requires a vigilance and a discernment that is inspired by the Spirit to be alert and to be aware of the dangers of being dangled like a puppet to another person's agenda and tune. To be Independent Thinkers in using our unique critical and creative attributes requires a building or a rebuilding of our values that are inherent in our holistic intelligences. Many builders of empires find themselves overlooking the foundations on which to build a solid future. Many build on sandy ground or unstable ground that will bring about a destruction when least expected. Others build on sinkholes that go undetected at the time of construction until too late to put effective and efficient filler that will stabilize the foundation. Some other builders use inferior materials that will be tested when strong winds of depression, discouragement, and apathy collapse the structure from its weaknesses of any solidarity.

When time, talents, and treasures of each person are tested to the maximum limits, the uniqueness of the individual either turns things around with a renewed effort and energy or gives up in despair. To find not only natural faith and trust but also supernatural faith and trust may take a lifetime or a crisis-driven opportunity. To rediscover a sense of hope rather than hopelessness demands a willingness to let go and let God be in the picture. The Creator of this Universe desires only the BEST for all of Creation. Unfortunately, the choices made by the creatures in this Universe ignore the wisdom of what it is to be God-fearing and totally eliminates any mention of God in their encounters with the world, the flesh, and the devil. The creature seeks to be a god without any thought of the now and the here after. In discovering the world's definition of love or the lack of love, the individual eventually finds the perversion and the selfishness of using others for pure animalistic satisfactions without any real satisfaction at all. All sounds very transitory and empty when compared with the intransitory aspects of genuine love which is unconditional and unselfish.

The Construction Team that needs to be assembled for the Human Beings International Association requires that they are willing to have faith that will move mountains, to have hope that will inspire a Spirit-filled enthusiasm, and an unselfish love that serves the needs of others without any recompense in return. To give is better than to receive. To serve the needs of others is better than selfishly taking what belongs to others. To love with the compassion and the empathy that will focus on the inner drive to be self-managed, self-motivated, and self-reliant intensifies the need to place all of our efforts in the divine plan for our Universe rather than the hypocritical agendas that are imposed on persons as though these persons are robots or disposed garbage.

The New Construction Team needs to be ready to make a commitment for the common purpose of all concerned by respecting other persons' existence from conception to natural death. To do otherwise is in contradiction to the divine plan. All human plans will fail when they are selfish, irresponsible, and greedy.
The Human Resources should be ready to renew their efforts to empower the unique human person with the dignity and the sacredness that each human being is inherently entitled to from conception to natural death. To do otherwise is the beginning of the downfall of the structure that is build on unsteady ground and is contrary to any divine plan. To work in cooperation with the divine plan will taking a C.O.P.E. approach. To recognize the Challenge, to consider all of the Options, to focus on the human/divine Plan, and to effectively Evaluate the undertaking will require a New Approach for the Human Beings International Association's Construction T.E.A.M, which means TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE. Will we wake up in time from our slumber to build the BEST atmosphere for achieving our human/divine goals that the Ladder of Achievement in Life requires to maximize our total holistic intelligences?

A MATTER OF TRUST CONSUMES AMERICAN ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS

Recently a questionnaire has been circulating throughout the United States of America to all Americans who are interested in seeing CHANGE in the most positive and effective way as promised to the American People in the 2008 Congressional and Presidential elections. The American People now have an opportunity to VOICE their responses to various questions that are currently being deliberated by Congress that will affect the future of our wonderful Nation.

Here are the questions that appeared on a recent questionnaire for critical and creative thinkers in America:

1) Do you agree with Congress's budget plan that will lead to a $23.1 trillion deficit over the next ten years?

2) Do you believe the federal government has gone too far in bailing out failing banks, insurance companies, and the auto industry?

3) Do you support amnesty for illegal immigrants?

4) Should English be the official language of the United States of America?

5) Are you in favor of granting retroactive Social Security eligibility to illegal immigrants who gain U.S. citizenship through an amnesty program?

6) Are you in favor of the expanded welfare benefits and unlimited eligibility (no time, education, or work requirements) that Congress is pushing to pass?

7) Do you believe that nominees for federal courts should be immediately and unquestionably approved for their lifetime appointments by the U.S. Senate?

8) Do you believe that the best way to increase the quality and effectiveness of public education in the U.S. is to rapidly expand federal funding while eliminating performance standards and accountability?

9) Do you support the creation of a national health insurance plan that would be administered by bureaucrats in Washington, D.C.?

10) Do you believe that the quality and availability of health care will increase if the federal government dictates pricing to doctors and hospitals?

11) Are you confident that new medicines and medical treatments will continue to be developed if the if the federal government controls prescription drug prices and sets profit margins for research and pharmaceutical companies?

12) Are you in favor of creating a government-funded "Citizen Volunteer Corps" that would pay young people to do work now done by churches and charities, earning Corps Members the same pay and benefits given to military veterans?

13) Are you in favor of reinstituting the military draft, as Congress has proposed?

14) Do you believe that the federal government should allow the unionization of Department of Homeland Security employees who serve in positions critical to the safety and security of our nation?

15) Do you support Congress's drive to eliminate workers' right to a private ballot when considering unionization of their place of employment?

You may answer the preceding questions with a Yes, a No, or No Opinion plus add any comments that may be appropriate for your informed decisions. Yes, these preceding questions and many more questions similar to these are being pondered by the elected Representatives and elected Senators in the Legislative Branch of our United States of America government. If any of these questions become part of a legislative bill for the President's signing, these bills would immensely impact the future of our Republic as we now know our Country.

As active members in a free country, the American People have the right and the duty to voice their concerns, their opinions, their affirmations, their adversarial voice, and their patriotic courage to STAND UP FOR WHAT YOU BELIEVE. THIS IS A MATTER OF TRUST....A MATTER OF CONFIDENCE....A MATTER OF SURVIVAL...A MATTER OF PATRIOTISM...A MATTER OF HONOR. There is no room for apathy and ignorance when we are positively climbing up and down the Ultimate Ladder of Achievement for ourselves, our communities, our families, our future, and our UNITED STATES OF AMERICA...We pledge allegiance to the Flag of the United States of America and for the Republic for which it stands...ONE NATION UNDER GOD ...with LIBERTY AND JUSTICE FOR ALL. IN GOD WE TRUST IS OUR RALLYING SYMBOL AND SIGN!

A MATTER OF TRUST FOR ALL ACHIEVEMENT ENTHUSIASTS

IN GOD WE TRUST! Who is really trustworthy when we are making our ways up and down the Ladder of Achievement in our every day encounters? Who has EARNED our trust, our confidence, and our devotion based on actual performances of moral, ethical, and respectful actions? There are many persons who want to choose a confidant, a friend, or even an acquaintance who will really listen actively to our efforts and our concerns about the basic aspects of daily living. You are unable to buy friends, confidants, or acquaintances to obtain a trusting relationship! We often find out by our ups and downs in accepting the challenges that the road to our goals is often paved with misfortune, mistakes, misinformation, misinterpretation, and misconduct. To have a natural faith in those who we think we can trust often tests our reason for even considering those resources. Our life experiences teach us to watch out for those who are attempting to take away our basic freedoms by their "spins," their "political rhetoric," their "deceptions," their "deceitful plannings," and their "disrespectful" attitudes. To have a living positive faith that relies on sound doctrines and openness to learn is a gift that is above the human level.

To learn the unlearnable, to comprehend the incomprehensible, to gain the possible out of the impossible, to imagine the unimaginable, to think the unthinkable, to grasp the probable from the improbable, and to achieve the unachievable are the end results of a growth and development in the humanistic and divine intelligence arenas. Actual enhancements in the lifelong learning patterns of each unique individual needs effective and efficient nourishment and a sense for the insensible. Titles are meaningless. Status is person made. Since our God-given creation is unique in the proper meaning of the term, achieving short-term and long-term reachable goals must be realistic, obtainable, measurable, ethical, believable and possible, flexible, and controllable.

For all achievement ladder enthusiasts, a matter of trust exists beyond the tangible and the scientific formulas. A matter of trust lets each unique person know that their independent thinking is dependent upon divine guidance that is often offered through divine intercessors. What is Truth was once asked by a Roman authority prior to condemning a God-man to certain excruciating torture and ultimate death on a crucible with other condemned criminals. Yet, the Resurrection that occurred brought about a newness of Life that is available for any person willing to TRUST in the eternal design of the Uncaused Cause, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, the Prince of Peace, the Savior and Redeemer of the world, and the Friend of all friends. His Mother had a TRUST that even in apparent disaster made her faith, hope, and love grow even stronger beyond the human level. She became the Spiritual Mother of each unique human being, and She asks for our TRUST in her and her intercessory actions for all. IN GOD WE TRUST is really A MATTER OF TRUST beyond human understanding.

LABOR DAY 2009 - WORKERS' ACHIEVEMENTS PROFOUND RECOGNITION

For all of the workers around the globe, we applaud your magnificent achievement efforts over the past few years in spite of your underemployment, your overtaxed employment, your abused employment, your deplorable employment, and your spirit-filled employment. As workers with varying aptitudes, altitudes, and attitudes, your outstanding achievements have meant the difference between failure and success with your uniqueness. With all of the technology that has been utilized throughout the world, the typical worker has been ignored, rejected, overlooked, dejected, abused, and exploited. Many of these typical workers have contributed their time, their talents, and their treasures to those who managed them with little regard to the worth of each human resource.

The most neglected and wasted resource in the world is the human resource not the natural resource. We applaud those who take the lead on improving the ecology and the environments; however, we deplore those who exploit the human resource as a hindrance to the development of improvement of the quality of life. Human life is precious and sacred and priceless. Human resources are even more sacred and demand a greater respect than is now being offered by the tyrants, the dictators, the "leaches," and the over-zealous political leaders who seek ultimate power, confiscate wealth, and cultivate "greedy" treasuries. Yes, the human resource in the working place is the most valuable resource since these persons contribute "intrapreneurial" ideas that bring about new solutions to old problems and make a unique difference to the benefit of the common good. Many of these same human resources become entrepreneurs who create new jobs and new opportunities in the private sector that benefit the communities and the countries where their ideas are accepted and appreciated.

Creating an adversary relationship between labor and management is really outmoded in the 21st Century. Creating a team effort atmosphere that respects the value and the dignity of each human resource has the power to bring about effective and efficient change that will really make a difference. In a bureaucratic effort to use human resources, many bureaucrats create a myriad of rules and regulations that hamper and impair the effective use of human resources and wastes time, talents, and treasures. There is no I in TEAM. In every TEAM, TOGETHER EVERYONE ACHIEVES MORE. Working together takes a tremendous amount of patience, effort, motivation, perseverance, and a commitment to change the atmosphere of the environments to be positive and to be developmentally sound in every respect.

THANK YOU ALL OF YOU WONDERFUL HUMAN RESOURCES WHO HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE DURING THIS PAST YEAR TO SHOW HOW THE VALUE OF EACH PERSON IN THE WORK PLACE REALLY DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Even if we have 10 percent unemployed human resources, we still have 90 percent employed human resources who will create areas in the private sector to open up opportunities for the 10 percent eventually, if given the chance and the proper tools for change.

For all of those human resources who are retired or even "rewired," we commend your lifelong efforts to bring about new opportunities and new technology that will assist the human resources of tomorrow. LET US GROW TOGETHER IN SOLIDARITY FOR THE HUMAN RESOURCES THAT ARE SINCERE RISK-TAKERS AND PERSONS OF ABSOLUTE COURAGE THAT DEMAND A REALLY HUMAN TOUCH EVEN WITH COMPLICATED TECHNOLOGY THAT OFTEN SEEMS INHUMANE!
