Organization is the Key to Success

I like organization. The only time that I don't see the point in being organized is when there is not a point. When there is nothing going on, then why do we need to be organized? Here is the point, there might be something getting ready to happen. Remember the Boy Scouts? "Be Prepared!" So how do we get organized? First, make sure everything has a place. If it doesn't have a home, it is clutter! Clutter is the number one enemy. This is true of a home, an office, a closet, a desk, a fridge, a business organization, etc. Next, throw crap away. If it doesn't serve a forseeable purpose, if it hasn't been touched in over a year, if you forgot where it came from and can't remember why you bought it in the first place, throw it away! If it happens to be relevant and records, then store it away. Those are my basic two rules for organization.
So why the title? Well, if we are organized outside it can be representative of organized thinking. Order in thinking and living is a key trait of someone who is confident and in charge of their lives. Success in life does not come from the outside. It does not come from the right amount of money or the right position, job, wife, etc. It comes from 'that ever elusive victory within.' What is that victory? It is discovering God in your heart. It is hearing where He wants you to go, No, i retract that, what He wants you to be. The fun thing is that when you hear that, you will also have discovered that you are already well on your way of becoming who He has created you to be. Organization in mind and thought, leads to a quiet heart and a confident spirit. So if you are not experiencing any of these things, try tidying your desk and then see where that takes you.
