Is Your Life In Order?

Do you think your life is in order? If so, what did you do to get it in order? If you feel your life is not in order, what do you think you have to do to get it in order? I believe there is a natural order to things. If one things happens, 'this' will happen and if that happens you will get this result. Routines, structure, and daily 'chores', whether house cleaning, taking care of finances or things you do on a daily basis to keep your home or business running efficiently all must be done regularly to keep things in order. Is your life in order or do you just deal with things as they happen?

i shall overcome someday..... - i will overcome very soon.
hi terilee, i feel, my life is not atall in order at this point in time. its in complete mess materially, physically and emotionally and even as we talk i think some yet another thing's being upset to add to the list. i have just being seperated from my love and emotionally shattered. i work in a good hospital and though they pay me okay, it lacks challenges and growth. i am in a dilemma as to whether to grab a better opportunity or to stick to my boss, who is a gem of a person with all good values. i have just srated to maintain a portfolio of savings and expenses and started to invest in different money savings plan. and more visibly, my house is in a mess aswell. LOL...its going through complete face off ( i donot want my old, bitter memories haunt me off and on.) but dear, never mind with all this. i am sure i will be back in form in a jiffy. let's keep our fingers crossed. thank you.

Well once upon a time my life was in order, it ran like a well oiled machine but since the passing of my son my life is in disarray. Some days I don't know whether I am coming or going, I just deal with things as they happen now, I haven't been able to get a routine of anykind going.

I am so sorry for your loss. I can understand the need to deal with things bit by bit, I think it's healthy. Perhaps some sort of routine will be easier as time passes? Might I ask how long ago your son passed away?

For some people rogue13xmen13, Life CAN be in order. There is a natural order to everything. As stated earlier, what is order to some might not be order to other, but there IS a natural order to life.

I think that my life will never be in order, because I cannot control it lol. I think that its going to be ever changing like our world is today, its just that simple to me. I just try to take things one at a time and survive in our changing world.

If that's what works for you SilentRose then that means there is a certain amount of order to it. It's all we can do to keep up with the every changing world. I would hope you end up with more than just survival. Thanks for your response.

If you notice the nature or our surroundings that everything is in order the sun rises at a certain time set at certain time,all the birds wakes up in an order.and order is a character of our nature and it matters to we as .if you start ot go to for ablutions waking in the morning continuously on a time the body will prepare according to that and your dont feel any trouble in having your ablutions if you are not in order it will affect your health.if you eat in time the body will prepare according to that and it will produese digestive enzymes on that time and if you are not in order all your digestion will be introuble same goes wiht in your work also .if you are in order your mind also will think in an orderly manner so you will ger more concentration in your work which wil limprove your work.everything should be in order.but unfortunately mine is one of utter chaoes,

In order to keep your life in order,you should relax yourself all time.And you should plan for all the things you want to do. We should enjoy our life whenever we are in trouble or not.Just take it easy!

I would say a bit of both. My life is order, but it's just not life without some things to be dealt with as they happen. I don't really have a set om stone routine around the house. It's a little vauge, but it is our routine. We get up and get ready and send our oldest off to school and daddy off to work. The nthe toddler and I have a slow morning with breakfast, checking my e-mails, and a show or two on PBS. Then I start cleaning up and gettins us ready and play countless games of horsies or whatever she wants to play, and we go to the park, or the mall, or run errands. Then we have lunch and read and play or clean up until nap time and mommy jumps on the computer again or works on sewing projects. After nap time we either start dinner or get ready for softball pracitce or a game when my oldest gets home from school. The evenings are pretty relaxed but right at 8, our oldest daughter gets in the shower and then gets ready bed and reads for a half hour before turning out the lights. During that time, the youngest gets her bath, and last cup of milk before bed and then they both go to bed at 9. A little boring, but really it's not. :D

Sounds like you have things pretty well in order. Doesn't sound boring to me at all. Sound like a description of a happy family. Thank you for your response MommytheMaid.

I can't say my life is set in an order. There are certain things which I do in order and certain other things without any order. So it is a mix. lol. I have an order in waking up, daily routines, my work, my leisure time, day-to-day home needs, caring and looking after the needs of my wife and kids, cleanliness, keeping my books, clothes etc. But I fail to make an order with room arrangements, minute financial matters, making friends, food etc. Thank you Terilee for asking.

Sound pretty much in order to me. What seems like order to one might not be order to others. Thanks for your response sreevasu.

I am quite inclined to say that there seems to be, at least, a semblance of order in my life. I say that there seems to be even a modicum of order in my life because I still know what my goals in life are. However, the path that I must take in order to achieve all my goals are quite blurry as of the moment. This is the precise reason why I think my life has no perfect order yet. I know that I have lots of things to accomplish in my life, which I've set out for me to bring into fruition. Nevertheless, it seems that no matter how I want to always be on top of things, the intervening hands of fate, or whatever force there is in the universe, seems to alter the course that I'm taking. It seems that every time my path is so straight and clear, unforeseen circumstances, which are beyond my control, suddenly come about, which somehow blurs my path and disturbs, in a way, the seeming order that there is in my life. My only hope is that, soon enough, I'll be on top of things again and perfect order will, hopefully, reign in my life.

It's an ongoing process acmepride. Each day we stive to keep a modicum of order. Some resemblance to what we presume order to be. There are always 'little things' that come into play that try to alter our path. It's not those little issues that matter, rather, how we deal with them and place them into the 'order of things'. Thanks for your great response.
