The introduction of chaos to create balance

The difference between a perfectly moist cake and a rock solid one, or the difference between a homogenous mixture and a heterogeneous one is balance. The structure of which everything takes on follows a specific pattern and adhering to that pattern may yield the results we want. But what happens when, in order to create something different, we introduce some chaos into the mix? Scientists often stumble upon new elements by accident, for example, the new pigment “YInMn”. While experimenting to find new materials to use in electronics, they stumbled upon a brand new shade of blue. The blue is unlike any other shade and was a complete accident. Like these scientists, we will come across happy accidents in life that may start out as chaos.

To understand this, it is essential you embrace the idea of going through the ups and downs in life. It means being prepared to appreciate that whether it’s your personal life, work environment or emotional state, there must be a regression to the mean. This entails considering bad things will invade your space and sometimes you have to let them occur naturally to see what changes arise. Sometimes, we may want to fight the forces that be in an attempt to control the safe environment we have created; but it is not always necessary to juggle the stresses and get past it. Embrace a bit of pandemonium and shake things up. Ruts occur when a habit or pattern of behaviour has become dull and unproductive, but is hard to change. Fight the urge to rest on your laurels and see where it takes you. Remember, nothing lasts – be it good or the bad – but if you embrace the constant flow of energy, you too can become more fluid and more resilient to change and, in turn, find balance.
