Waddling Through The Rough Times

Achieving Success Through Chaos

Chaos theory explains (or attempts to) why simple systems become complex, why small changes in the starting position can make massive differences to results. Before Chaos theory, classical physics and mathematics assumed in real world systems that the cause and effect could be directly related and predicted that is, by understanding the inputs could you reliably predict the outputs.

For instance, classical theory suggested that if you knew the temperature, humidity, wind direction, surface temperature etc, you could predict the weather, all you need is a computer large enough take this information and perform the millions of complex calculations to predict the weather. We now understand, through Chaos Theory that small changes in the inputs (such as temperature) can produce enormous differences in the result, that could not be predicted by the computer running the model.

Using the weather example, a change in temperature of 1 degree may produce thunderstorms or cyclones that would not be predicted by the Classical model.

Chaos in our Life
As a human being, you are governed by the same laws as all of nature, so Chaos Theory is equally applicable in your life. You may this manifest in a chance meeting with an old friend, this may result in a followup catching up, exploring common interests and starting a business together. This idea of chance encounters and different results has been explored in numerous films, books, poetry and discussions, in reality Chaos Theory is science starting to explain things that we all know to be true.

Taking Chaos Further
Chaos Theory goes further though and finds that within the ensuing uncertainty, repeating patterns or order do occur, though these may not be visible initially. We can understand that in our own lives, when unpredictable events happen, which seem to have no order, over time we start to see the patterns and order, indeed overtime we find that these become our new patterns and order.

Making Chaos work for You
The first lesson from Chaos is that by making small changes in your life you can affect changes that you cannot predict, meaning some changes may produce limited results, others may produce results out of all proportion to the change.

The second lesson from Chaos is that even out of unpredictable, uncertain results, with time you will find the order and the pattern, and you must give yourself the time to find the patterns.

The hidden or reverse law of Chaos is that if you do not make constant, minor changes in your life you will reduce the likelihood that huge, unpredictable and beneficial results will come your way.

Success Exercise
First, think about 3 small changes that you could make today (eg. using your mouse in your other hand, driving a different way home, reading a book you wouldn’t normally read). The purpose of the exercise is to start to introduce constant change into your life.

Second, commit yourself to doing something new or different everyday.
