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!
