Orderliness is defined as "arranging myself and my surroundings to achieve greater efficiency." One lesson learned during this past month as my wife and I did a major "restructuring" at home is that the new cannot reside if the old is not removed. To be orderly entails a willingness to let go of hindering elements so that space is created to accommodate new habits of efficiency.
What we remove from the house was our 10-foot long TV cabinet! Our purpose is to create more space in the living room for conversation and small group gatherings. Ever since Astro was eliminated from my family a few months ago, we now have the liberty to introduce other activities in the house. And that brought about ... greater orderliness.
What is the "10-foot long" obstacle in your life right now? It could be a self-indulging hobby or an unhealthy preoccupation with certain "toys". Bring order into your life by placing higher value on what is indispensable and being tough enough to get rid of what is dispensable. What is the indispensable in life? You guess it - right relationships.
