It is not uncommon to hear of unhappy people who
appear to have reached a high level of success but
who have failed to attain a sense of
fulfilment. Something is still missing from
their lives.
Just what do “success” and “organizing for
success” mean?
We will begin with a study of the words “organize”
and “success” and see where they lead. You
will quickly see that words within a definition
often lead to another word that is equally
important for arriving at a clear understanding of
just what organizing for success means. You
may be surprised at the final definition!
Each of these words has many meanings in the
dictionary and thesaurus. For the purposes
of leading you to a clear definition of organizing
for success, I have printed certain words within
the definitions in bold type as stepping
stones.
ORGANIZE: begin, establish, institute,
arrange, set in order
ORDERLINESS – set in order:
clean, neat, tidy, well-kept, efficient, exact,
methodical, systematic, calm, peaceful, quiet,
untroubled
SUCCESS:
(From a materialistic viewpoint) affluence,
fortune, prosperity, opulence, riches, wealth
(From a general viewpoint)
achievement, fulfilment, realization,
accomplishment
WEBSTER'S DICTIONARY states –
Success: a favourable or satisfactory
outcome or result
- coming about, taking place,
or turning out to be as was hoped for
SATISFACTORY: adequate
ADEQUATE: acceptable, good enough, but not
remarkable!
Therefore, when we ORGANIZE we wish to "set in
order."
Orderliness in turn promotes calmness,
peacefulness, quietness, and a sense of being
untroubled.
The Bible tells us that God is a God of order as
evidenced in creation and in 1 Cor 14:40 (NIV)
“But everything should be done in a fitting and
orderly way.”
SUCCESS, as you follow through on the above noted
definitions, would be a satisfactory outcome
coming about as a result of our
activity.
“Organizing for success” then would be the
realization or coming about as a result of your
activity: calmness, peacefulness, quietness, and a
sense of being untroubled in spirit!
What legacy to hand on to your children and your
children's children!
