For all of the persons who are striving to make headway everyday on their pursuit of the Ladder of Achievement in their lives, there is one dimension that is often overlooked in this adventure. For each daily challenge that a person receives, that person is almost expected to "go it alone" as though these persons were on a deserted island. Survival of the fittest seems to dominate the attitude of many persons who ignore and overlook the interpersonal role to encourage others to strive to be the best in whatever "theater of endeavor" that they are engaged. Even in team sports and theater productions, the sense is "break a leg" without any obvious support mechanism that may assist in achieving the goals.
Even with the "Bad News Bears" mentality, the individuals who are attempting to find themselves and to be productive are given very little encouragement from their team members and their coaches until a CRISIS occurs to decide the fate of the outcome. However, if each individual realized that he/she is a part of the entire process and that each person is unique, then the opportunities abound for the thinking "outside the box" rather than be stymied by hesitancy, ignorance, apathy, or any other notion of negativity. To start at the zero percent of "don't want to do this" and then to arrive at the 60 percent of "I might," expects that someone or something may have had a "hand" in turning around a negative attitude to a positive attitude that a person winds their way on the spiral case of the Ladder of Achievement as often as one experiences in a lighthouse climb to the very top of the Light House.
Many years ago, my opportunity to climb the stairs of a lofty Lighthouse became quite a challenge for me personally. In starting up the narrow staircase, my inclination was to stop before going even further. However, my inner drive or my internal locus of control spurred me on to continue to the climb to the very top of the Light House. In my 360 degree vision at the top, my fear of heights was slightly overcome because of this personal achievement. My determination and desire to climb these 300 or so steps was inspired by the spouse who positively encouraged me to accept the challenge to the top. My hardest climb was returning down the spiral staircase because of its narrow space to eventually reach the bottom of the Light House. Yes, my adventure was that this may be my last chance to even attempt the climb because of the arthritis in my knees. Success breeds success. But often that success comes from supporting family, friends, and team members who know how difficult the climb is up and down the daily Ladder of Achievement.
In the Human Beings International Association's preamble and ethical code of conduct, the encouragement from people who have experienced the adventures of a Tour de France, an Iron Person experience, a marathon completion, a calamity caused by nature, a downsized economy, an indifferent political environment, a homelessness, an underemployed or unemployed dilemma, a death of a loved one, and many other uncontrollable occurrences makes all the world of difference when attempting to turn around one's life for the better. We need each other in life's Ladder of Achievement to be truly successful. When we start to say, "I think I can" at 70 percent of the way, to the 80 percent "I can," to the "I will at 90 percent," and eventually "We did it, we accomplished this" at 100 percent, we realize that in life's journey we need all of the "nobodies" that really care about our successful travels along the way of life's challenging journeys. How many Oscar and Emmy winners THANK THE PERSONS who gave them the opportunities and the encouragement to continue their ventures.
When we are GIVERS of encouraging words and actions, we are GIVING LIFE to an Achievement Ladder Enthusiast who is humbled about the TRUTH of their actual growth and development. Will you be the SMILE, the PAT ON THE BACK, the HUG, the POSITIVE ATTITUDE, the MORALE, the "WARM FUZZY," and the ULTIMATE POSITIVE COACH, FRIEND, and CONFIDANT who really CARES for the sacredness and the uniqueness of each ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIAST in their life? WHAT YOU DO FOR ANOTHER DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE IN A WORLD THAT IS SHY ON GIVING LOVE for any human reason. Today is the tomorrow that we thought about yesterday. Make each day count on your continual journey up and down the Achievement Ladder and be humble enough to accept the LOVE that POSITIVE environments offer to you.
