Productivity Follows Order

Have you ever known someone who always seems out of time, out of energy and basically overwhelmed by life? You know the type that has a perfectly good excuse for being late, not keeping appointments or someone who is generally unprepared for just about everything.

Maybe in your own life you’ve even felt that way. It’s like your life is a juggling act and it’s up to you to keep all those colored balls in the air. Don’t drop a ball or someone who’s counting on you will suffer because of your mistake.

These feelings of overwhelm, lack of energy, not enough time and too much to do are symptoms of a life “out of integrity.” The Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines integrity as “the quality or state of being complete or undivided.”

A life that is out of integrity is a life that is somehow incomplete or divided. Let me illustrate what I mean.

Picture yourself blowing air into a balloon. If the ballon is complete, then the air collecdts inside until the ballon is fully inflated or you stop blowing into the balloon. Now picture the balloon with little tiny holes. What will happen when you begin to blow the air into the balloon? It never fully inflates. All of the air that you’re blowing into the balloon leaks out the tiny holes.

Our lives can be just like the balloon. We have leaks of energy riddled throughout our lives rendering us ineffective.We create these holes or energy leaks by violating the natural laws that were designed to secure our abundant life.

Some of the things which cause us to get out of integrity or produce energy leaks:

• living or working in a cluttered environment
• working at a job we dislike
• not being allowed to use our God-given talents and gifts
• feeling as if we underpaid for the work we peform
• being with people we dislike
• procrastination
• not knowing where we stand financially
• feeling unproductive
• feeling unappreciated
• not eating healthy
• neglecting to follow up on important tasks

This list could actually be much longer. There’s quite a number of things which we do because we perceive that there is no immediate consequence. However, when we surround ourselves with an environgment of multiple energy leaks we have major life changing consequences. And still, there are many individual who never make the connection between their poor habits and their falling apart life.

A life that is whole, integris, without energy leaks is a life that is in order – it’s a life that is operating in harmoney with the natural laws of an abundant life. When our life or should I say our lifestyle is in order we then are naturally more productive.

I want to invite you to explore this with me further. Here are some of the topics that we’ll explore here on this blog:

• The five areas of our life that most often contain disorder or energy leaks.
• What does a(n) disorderly /  orderly life look like?
• Simple tasks to begin your journey to wholeness

These are just a few of the topics for future posts. I’d love to receive comments on this topic as you join me in this journey to a life with Integrity (wholeness – no energy leaks).
