Eventually, we harvest the fruits of our labor

So tempting to compromise, or worse, to quit…

Eventually, we harvest the fruits of our labor. Nine months after filling our new pool with water, the landscaping crew will be here this morning to begin the transformation from weeds to paradise.

Why did it take so long?

Maybe better to ask, how did you manage to not give up?

Yes, being organized and balancing life is art.

Doing this for a lifetime makes one an expert artist.

There is no judging panel.

We know in our hearts if what we’re doing stretches us. And adds value to the world – even if just one person.

Six things Americans will miss being grateful for if our lives are disorganized

Six things Americans will miss being grateful for if our lives are disorganized:

  1. breath in our nostrils
  2. a clean shirt on our back
  3. a hot meal every day
  4. peace in our soul
  5. joy in our spirit
  6. love in our heart

Disorganization isn’t confined to a messy desk or closet. It clutters and buries our blessings too.

End of the road if you began at Mid Life Celebration, or click Next Blog to go there now.

 

To become decently organized is a blessing and a curse

We are not born organized. As infants, we rely on others for parental care – for our very survival – because we are helpless.

As we grow older, we must slowly and surely break the chains of having others think and do for us. We must find our own way.

Most of us never attack this opportunity soon enough, hard enough, and long enough, to be transformational.

It is what it is.

But it doesn’t have to be permanent.
