ORGANIZING YOUR LIFE

There is an order in nature. Hundreds of years ago, a Mathematician discovered a sequence, which he called the Fibonacci sequence. In the sequence, the next term is the sum of the two previous terms. Here is the Fibonacci sequence. 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89….The sum is (1+1=2, 1+2=3, 3+5=8, 8+15=13… )

Leonardo Da Vinci devised an order out of the seemingly ordinary Fibonacci sequence. It was after Leonardo Da Vinci exhumed corpses and measured the length of each bone, that he discovered that they divide themselves in ratios proportional to the Fibonacci sequence.

1.618 is called the divine order. If you divide any number in the Fibonacci sequence by the number before it, you get 1.618 approximately. Try it. (89/55=55/34=34/21=21/13=1.618).

Your body obeys the divine order. Get a tape rule, the one fashion designers use. Measure the distance from your shoulder to the tip of your longest finger, and divide it by the distance from your elbow joint to the tip of your finger. It will be equal to 1.618, approximately.

Here’s another exercise. Measure the distance from your head to your toe, and divide it by the distance from your navel (belly button) to your toe. It is approximately equal to 1.618. Leonardo Da Vinci also discovered that our finger bones divide themselves in ratios equal to 1.618.

Success has an order. It is easy to fail. If you want to be a failure, just decide to do nothing. Sleep well, watch movies, spend your money anyhow, and live carefree. But success has an order. If you don’t follow the order of success, you can end in disorder. Ask the young man who made money through internet fraud, and ended up broke, and broken.

Success does not happen by magic. Success is the product you get when you follow the process. If you put a man on top a building, he would probably get his broken, after jumping down because he didn’t climb to the top. A kid has to crawl before she walks. That is the order.

Shortcuts don’t pay. By tadking shortcuts, oftentimes, you bypass the order. When a piece in the puzzle is missing, there could be a problem. That’s why a lot of lottery winners end up broke after few years, because they didn’t learn the ropes.

Every game has a rule. When you ready to play the card of success, you have to follow the rules. As a life coach, I know that it is important for people to form new habits, to become successful. Sometimes, a client will come and expect that I will solve her problems instantly. I let them know that I don’t use a magic hat. It takes time.

Take small steps. Jan Hayner, a professional organizer who specializes in time management and organizing workflow, said a major part of successful academic organization is motivation. "It's not hard, but sometimes people overwhelm themselves by looking at the big picture rather than doing it gradually," she said.

You can overcome any challenge once it’s broken down into bite-sized chunks. You owe yourself the responsibility to put your life in order today.
