Organize

Organize

so that

you

do not

lose

your

mind.

You cannot change until you become organized.

Out of chaos comes order,

or a desperate need to organize.

Getting organized may or may not be the problem,

but staying organized is always a problem.

If you do not organize your thoughts and actions

nothing will ever get done.

"Be vigilant;

guard your mind against negative thoughts."

Buddha

Write it down.

When you see it in writing good things happen.

You are no longer stressed out about forgetting

what needs to be done.

You can organize your list to make the most

important things get done first.

You can tell when you are being distracted when

you notice that what you are doing is not on you list.

Most importantly, when in writing, the thing that needs

to be done will become more realistic.

Realism is the fact that the only thing you can change

is you and your attitude.

Without a good attitude, things will not get done.

If things need to get done, why not do them with a stress free,

no chaos involved, kind, and loving attitude.

Get up, go to work, dye your hair, organize your closet,

mow the grass, cook a meal, call a friend, see a movie,

watch a sunset, say thank you to your Higher Power,

read, write, go to a meeting, do any of the many things

that you have committed to being your life,

and do them with a happy attitude.

Organize the project.

Nice thinking that cooking a meal is on your list,

but do you have all the ingredients needed to make the meal??

Add going to the market or going to the garden to your list.

Don't have a garden??

Could have, should have, would have done it, if it was on my list.

Will power becomes can power if you write it down.

Have a friend, be a friend and share some of your list with

them so you can better organize you life.

The friend may also help you with organizing your feelings.

"A family is a place

where minds come in contact with one another."

Buddha

Bad habits and addictions do not require a mind.

No mind, no family, no friends, no matter.

Writing down your things to do is your Higher Power

giving you guidance to do the next right thing.

When you write it down you will organize your mind,

and when you mind, you will have family, friends and

things will matter.

Today, build your organization.

Today, get something to write with and something to

write on, and write something.

Today, write down one simple, happy, nice thing that

you must get done, and do it.

When all else fails, just write your gratitude list.

It is wrong to think

that misfortunes come from the east or from the west;

they originate within one's own mind.

Therefore, it is foolish to guard against misfortunes

from the external world

and leave the inner mind uncontrolled.

Buddha

Today, control your inner mind with organization.

Happiness is helping someone help themselves.
