ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS SALUTE THE "NOBODYS" OF THE WORLD!

Now that we have arrived at the end of February, 2011, the Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts recognize the "nobodys" of the world even though "everybody" seems to ignore their existence. Somebody will some day realize that the nobodys impact our day-to-day living in ways that anybody would normally relish and respect. The nobodys are everywhere whenever you are on the road, in the marketplace, in various community experiences, and in many strategic locations. Anyone who has the brains to recognize the nobodys will understand why our world encourages whoever is willing to take the proper leadership to allow everyone to be somebody. The nobodys are someone's friends, acquaintances, brothers, sisters, parents, colleagues, co-workers, and many other otherwise unknowns. Whatever is expected to be accomplished by anybody is usually successfully completed by the nobodys of this world. Wherever one finds Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts, someone is acknowledged to discover the whoever wants no one to be anybody. However, no matter how much we may seek someone to lead the people in a transformed, positive direction there will be a nobody who will help anybody to be the someone that they really want to be as God intended them to be.... cost what it may!

RESTORE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO LIFE FOR ALL INNOCENT HUMAN PERSONS IN 2011!

Today we commemorate the Supreme Court's ruling giving legality to perform elective abortions on innocent pre-born babies in the United States of America. With more than 53,000,000 pre-born babies killed by elective abortion since January 22, 1973, the time has come to reassess our attitudes about the value and the dignity of ALL innocent human life from conception to natural death. Why are the civil rights of the innocent pre-born excluded from the Civil Rights Act of 1964? Now that the medical community has available the equipment to monitor the growth and development of the human embryo and the human fetus, the natural progression is to reconsider the myths and the inaccuracies of the discussion about recognizing when innocent human life exists. Are the cultures in our communities insensitive to the needs of the innocent pre-born children through self-gratification, inconvenience, and selfish ploys rather than be responsible with appropriate and ethical pre-adult and adult behavior?

Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts agree that human life is a continuum from conception to natural death. We all start out as innocent human beings and end up as innocent human beings not "vegetables." In our USA, the civil rights movement took more than 100 years to resolve the issue of the dignity and the sanctity of human life based on color. The civil rights movement for the innocent pre-born is based on residency, dependency, and viability. With responsible parenting and solid ethical and moral guidelines, parents are able to accept the enormous responsibility of caring and loving an innocent human being in their formative and nuturing development. Ignorance may be replaced with effective parenting education that assists those who are unable and unwilling to deal with the realities of innocent human life at every stage of growth and development. For many adoption is a better choice than killing an innocent human being because the law makes it LEGAL! In a civilized society, we can do better than we are now doing to erase the mistakes of 38 years ago using a selfish motive to obtain "rights." Even though legal abortionists may kill the innocent human body, these same practioners are unable to kill the human spirit that lives on through all eternity. For all the mothers and fathers who have had the challenges of raising innocent human beings to be what they are today, congratulations for your willingness to give your children LIFE and LOVE. Let us remember the 53,000,000 pre-born babies who have lost their innocent human life through legal elective abortions since 1973 with a special prayer for the faithful departed. Eternal rest give to them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed through the mercy of God, REST IN PEACE!

WHY IS EXTREMISM ALWAYS A SCAPEGOAT?

Over the years we have all heard the term "extremist" or "extremism" as a way of diverting attention from what actually is the "cause and effect" of individuals' actions especially with tragic consequences. In looking up the dictionary meaning of "extreme" you will find the following "meanings":

Extreme: adjective: extremer: noun

1) of a character or kind farthest removed from the ordinary or average: an extreme case; extreme measures;

2) utmost or exceedingly great in degree: extreme joy;

3) farthest from the center or middle; outermost; endmost;

4) farthest, utmost or very far in any direction;

5) exceeding the bounds of moderation: extreme fashions;

6) going to the utmost or very great lengths in action, opinion, etc: an extreme conservative;

7) last or final: extreme hopes;

8) the highest or a very high degree: cautious to an extreme;

9) one of two thigns as remote or different from each other as possible: the extremes of joy and grief;

10) the utmost length: extremes in dress;

11) an extreme act, measure, condition, etc: the extreme of poverty;

12) Math: the first or the last term as of a proportion or series; a relative maximum or relative minimum valueof a function in a given region;

13 Logic: the subject or the utmost point, or extremity, of something.

The preceding lists numerous ways in which the term "extreme" or "extremer" or "extremist" may be used or misused in a context of reporting information through whatever media may be used in the 21st Century. There are three other words that have been used to an "extreme" measure: SMEAR, DISCREDIT, DESTROY. How often have we heard or read information that was reported to distort in the minds of the listeners the "underlying" meanings that results in resolving challenges in everyday life in an reasonable way rather than an emotional manner. In the wake of most recent events, cooler minds and reasonable decisions need to prevail in order to discover the "root" of the challenges to the American People in hopeful or apparent "hopeless" incidents.

Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts use WISDOM as the basic tool in resolving the challenging issues that face the typical American person. "The Fear of the Lord is the beginning of Wisdom." The respect for the Uncaused Cause is the starting point for all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts to discover the underlying message of WISDOM. History has taught all of us to listen to SOUND WISDOM in the wake of misinformation and mental reservations. IN GOD WE TRUST!

COMMITMENT TO NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS FOR ACHIEVEMENT LADDER ENTHUSIASTS

Every year millions of persons worldwide make sincere resolutions that they feel will be beneficial to their everyday life. There are also many millions of persons who think that making any resolutions is a total waste of time and energy especially if their self-interest is missing. However, what often occurs is that Enthusiastic Achievers want to make a change or even better a transformation that will enhance their day-to-day challenges. Taking on additional commitments may seem appropriate but the increased stress may lead to missing the ordinary requirements of everyday living. Doing the ordinary everyday commitments in an extraordinary manner takes on a positive dimension worth considering. Since everyone gets 168 hours in a given week, the challenge is prioritizing the actions that are to be taken by any individual. Some Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts actually try to burst beyond the 168 hours available by taking on projects and programs that are superfluous. Here are a few thoughts on the matter that might influence a person to reexamine their daily routines, their short-term goals, and their long-term goals.

What is really important in your life that really needs your full attention?

How are you simplifying your every day actions that impact your decisions?

How are you focusing on your career choices of the present and your future career adventures?

When do you consider irreconcilable differences in your philosphy of life a matter of conscience and incompatible with any compromise?

Who really influences your life and your life's decisions?

Where are your focuses on your holistic intelligences such as interpersonal, emotional, physical, social, spiritual, etc.?

Why are your financial decisions impacted by others' influences?

How much time do you devote to your family, your career, your spouse, your community commitments, and your spiritual development?

What are your Ideals, your visions, your dreams, your unique talents, your attitudes?

If you were asked to make a major decision today about your lifelong ambitions, what would be your reactions to that dilemma?

Are you willing to live within your means in order to be debt-free?

What is really essential in your life that means the most to you as a person, as a professional, and as a community-minded citizen?

Who is the most influencial person in your life and why?

What have you learned that will be useful as you project your goals for 2011?

If you had only one resolution to make for 2011, what would that resolution be?

For all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts, a new year is a new challenge, a new beginning, a new adventure, and a new commitment. What you do with this opportunity depends on you and your total commitments in your life and lifestyle. As the saying goes, "people do not care how much you know, but how much you care." Are you willing to air, care, share, and bear your uniqueness with your friends, your acquaintances, your co-workers, your spouse, your family, and your community? Yes, the world will become a better place if you are willing to make the difference as a committed Achievement Ladder Enthusiast. Make 2011 a year to remember and a launching pad for success!

SAYING GOODBYE TO 2010 AND HELLO TO 2011

Thank God for the year 2010 and all of its accomplishments and all of its challenges! Let us be thankful for the priceless treasures of human experiences that have made 2010 a year to remember and a year to leave behind with its ageless memories. Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts worldwide know the who, the what, the where, the when, the why, the how, and the how much that 2010 gave each of us to look forward to the future of 2011. The peace, the joy, and the love that 2010 gave the Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts is the thrust that will encourage the positive transformations that are yet to be achieved through the guidance of the Holy Spirit...the Spirit of Love! The greatest treasures are the human treasures of faith, hope, and love that have indicated a sincere difference in the wake of historic and traditional values and morality. The pieces of the human endeavors are fashioned to complete the puzzle that each year presents as a significant step in the Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts' treasured history. May 2011 bring a completed picture to each and every human being who seeks the Uncaused Cause of Creation, the Higher Power, the Supreme Being, the Holy of Holies, the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords, and the Eternal Kingdom that God has offered to each human being who respects the value and the dignity of every human creature. "Always remember what you have learned in 2010. Your Education is your Life. Guard it well in 2011!" Choose Life, Choose Love!

HOLY INNOCENTS DAY 2010

Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts are well aware of the loss of innocent human life every day in the United States of America and in the World. An unknown number of innocent unborn human life is estimated at 4,000 elective abortions in the USA alone. Imagine what the number is for the rest of the world! In 2010 alone, the USA will have electively aborted about 1,500,000 unborn babies because it is legal. Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts also wonder how many elderly, disadvantaged, dependent, homeless, and medically ignored there are in the USA alone during this past year. The number may be more shocking than we want to imagine. Why is this happening in a free society and a more tolerant society? Have we lost the value of sacredness and dignity for all human life because of our legal system that allows an unborn baby to be electively aborted for semantic reasons? How many children have been exploited by pornography because of human depravity and low morals?

Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts remember the time when more 2000 years ago a King heard about the Birth of the Messiah in Bethlehem and ordered all male babies under two years old to be killed. Why? This King was afraid that he would lose power to the King of Kings, the Lord of Lords. The Messiah was born to die for all human beings as an act of love to give us eternal life through the life of God available to each human being for all time. Yes, we celebrate the Christmas Season with Peace, Joy, and Love; but there are those who want war, sorrow, and hatred to run the daily lives of all human beings because of their selfishness and their earthly pride and greed.

As history has given us information that is repeated again and again, Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts welcome a return to selfless acts on the part of responsible adults who respect and cherish all unborn human life as a Gift from God. There are three partners in the procreation of human life: a man, a woman, and God, the Creator of all human life. When human law ignores divine law, human law has no value or sense of justice. Choosing Life takes more love than the "throw away mentality" that the secular world thrusts on its citizenry.

Although the "providers of elective abortion" may kill the body, the spirit lives on through all eternity. If you want to spiritually adopt an unborn baby, choose a name or names and begin praying for the safety of that unborn baby while being carried by a loving mother destined to cooperate with bringing about a birth in about nine months. Choosing life is a better choice that killing an innocent unborn baby. Join the Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts who respect the dignity and the sacredness of all human life from conception to natural death. The life you save may be your own. CHOOSE LIFE TODAY!

GOD IS LOVE WHO CAME DOWN AT THE FIRST CHRISTMAS AND ALL CHRISTMAS CELEBRATIONS SINCE....

Yes, we celebrate Christmas Day 2010 as the day when "the Word became flesh and dwelt among us...He is Emmanuel...God is with us..." The Savior of the World, the Messiah, came into this world as a baby born of a Virgin through the Power of the Holy Spirit....For nothing is impossible for God...who Loves us eternally and every day of our lives. Jesus is the source of Peace, Joy, and Love that the world is incapable of giving in the secular world. The greatest gift that the human race received more than 2000 years ago was the "Yes" of a Virgin who would be the living tabernacle of the God-Man who would prove what LOVE really is. Mary, the Mother of Jesus Christ, said "Yes" to God's proposal to bring the Messiah into this world through the power of the Holy Spirit. Mary's spouse, St. Joseph, was a Just Man who was willing to be the Foster Father of Jesus Christ as explained to him through God's special messenger. Thus, the Holy Family, Joseph, Mary, and Jesus, were brought into being saying "Yes" to the work of redeeming all human beings of all time with the greatest love expressed beyond the human level. The Incarnation became reality as was foretold by many prophets and heavenly messengers. "For God so loved the world that He sent His only Son...." Jesus is the only Way, the only Truth, and the only Life that leads all of us to eternal life with God forever if we say "yes" to God's will.

As Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts we are fortunate to live in a free society that allows us to live our faith if we choose to make that choice. Saying "yes" to God's mission for each Achievement Ladder Enthusiast is the continuation of the mission that Jesus began with His twelve Apostles to be leaven for the spreading of the Kingdom of God. To be a follow of Jesus Christ has its challenges. If we are arrested for being a follower of Jesus Christ, would there be enough evidence to convict the followers? Each Achievement Ladder Enthusiast needs to resolve to be willing to allow a transformation of their holistic intelligences to evangelize their environments with the message of faith, hope, and love as requested by the Master, the Teacher, the Priest, the Prophet, and the King...Jesus Christ. Yes, the celebration of Christmas every year is another opportunity to focus our attitudes toward the eternal rather than the transparent and the transitory.

May all Achievement Ladder Enthusiasts commemorate this Christmas 2010 with the resolution to "bloom where they are planted" so that His Kingdom will come on earth as it is in Heaven. Mary Christmas and a Holy and Happy New Year 2011. "What does it profit to gain the world world and suffer the loss of your soul for all eternity"? Jesus, Mary, and Joseph intercede and pray for us!
