ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS ENCOURAGE POSITIVE ATTITUDES DESPITE RECENT CHALLENGES

"When life gives you lemons, you make lemonade."  "It is not the size of the dog in the fight that counts; it is the size of the fight in the dog that counts."  Never give up, GET UP!  You may continue to add as many encouraging axioms to your philosophy of life and to your ongoing learning styles that will continue to make you a better person.  Each day brings new challenges and also new consequences for action or for inaction.  Taking responsibility for our own actions is the lesson in humility and in maturing in wisdom.  Remember to take a look at yourself in the mirror each morning and remember that you need to be true to that person in the mirror.  "God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change...Courage to change the things I can and wisdom to know the difference."  Since we live in an imperfect world and in the special world around us everyday, focus on the true values that respects yourself and respects the many persons that we need to deal with everyday.  One person recently said: "If you can breathe, you are needed by someone in your life."  Each Achievement Ladder Enthusiast has a special mission that has our name on that mission.  We are unable to put our heads in the sands and ignore the needs that surrounds our daily mission.  We are in the world but not of the world; and what we accomplish does make a difference.  To allow "the world, the flesh, and the devil" to run our lives means to exclude our Creator from working with us and through us to make the world a better place.  Discover for yourself the "Real Good News" rather than the edited multi-media news sources  that tries to "brainwash" our uniqueness and our "minority of one" status.

Take each day as a new challenge rather than as a problem.  Each day has four seasons:  spring, summer, fall, and winter.  The morning gives us the spring; and the summer gives us the mid-day. The late afternoon gives us fall; and the evening brings our daily winter.  Your use of your time during each day and each week are yours and yours alone.  However, there will be many persons who may want to "dump" their "problems" on to you.  Yet, if you are alert, you will give back those "dumpers" an opportunity to resolve their own dilemmas.  Avoid being the "dumpee;" you have enough challenges of each day without taking on the whole world.  Look for divine guidance and learn to let go and let God enter your life each day.  "Come to Me all you who are burdened and find life burdensome.  Learn from Me for I am meek and humble of heart.  You will find rest and peace in knowing that you are never alone...YOU ARE ALWAYS IN GOD'S PRESENCE who loves you with an unconditional love that surpasses all that the world says about love.
"Always remember what you have learned.  Your education is your life.  Guard your education well!"   "Sufficient for the day is the evil enough."  "Love one another as I have loved you."
