089: Cherishing Chaos

Yosh. Sino dito ang tipo na naiinis pag may mga plano na hindi natutuloy? Toxic ba para sayo ang pabago-bago na desisyon ng iba? Nahihirapan ka bang mag accommodate ng unannounced arrival of someone or something, whoever or whatever they may be? Ka OA yan ba to at ang sagot ba ay pagiging Nonchalant?

Welcome to Season 5 ng ating Empowering Mindset Podcast. And for this theme, we will tackle the framework of Antifragility. Katulad ng definition na pinag usapan natin last week, this is anything that has more upside than downside from random events or certain shocks.

For this episode, puntahan natin ang randomness. And how this form of chaos can be empowering for your designed life.

Nung January 2021, i had a youtube lesson on Strategic Chaos. A year before that, a full course.

Chaos is a gap. Literal like gaping mouth.

Chaos is randomness.

Paano bubulabugin ang buhay mo?

Strategic Chaos *Before Antifragility)

Control Freak

Andaming moments in my life na nagkaron ng conflict with people I love kasi I was a control freak. Gusto ko ang schedule ko ang masusunod. Gusto ko predictable, the way I planned it.

One time su-surpresahin ako ng ex-fiance ko. Tinaguan ko sya, including all my classmate. I thought I was teaching them a lesson na laging magset up ng schedule sa akin.

Pero after ko magbarko, dun ko naramdaman ang extreme routine. I’m becoming a MODEL citizen.

I’m living my family’s pattern.

You need to have a car to feel accomplished. You need to marry to feel fulfilled. You need to work till retirement to be a productive citizen. Etc.

The MODEL Citizen

Mediocre. Obedient. Dependent. Entertained. Lifeless.

“There is safety in numbers. And it’s lonely at the top.
The MODEL citizen is obedient in following what is safe and proven.
The practitioner of CHAOS risk the Hazard of failing, ridicule, isolation, injury, among other things.”

I’m not saying the life as a seaman is mediocre. I have plenty of clients that gets fulfillment sa job na yun. If I know what I know right now, baka nga tumagal pa ako.

Chaos is Charming

“If you are alive—something deep in your soul likes a certain measure of randomness and disorder” This is the essence of games. We have built in mechanism to be attracted to chances. It can make you feel more alive. The addiction to adrenaline.

We are fitted to accommodate chaos. Yung biglaan schedule na automatic mawawalan ka ng ganang kumain, versus pilitin ang sarili na magfasting ng exactly 16 hours.

Chaos brings Focus.

Any disruption – a break up, a layoff, or even the pandemic – from our routine is oftentimes unwelcome. This can cause psychological breakdown for most people, while for the few it can cause psychological rebirth. In this master class, we will learn about the nature of chaos and how we can use it strategically to bring positive transformation in our lives. 

When everything is chaotic, you can always focus on what truly matters – your health: physical and mental, and a few people.

Chaos brings Freedom.

Chaos can reset, including labels. Constructor – Destructor.

Chaos maybe dangerous, but boring, never.

Chaos brings Change

“You must be ready to burn yourself in your own flame.
How could you rise anew, if you have not first became ashes.”

F. Nietzsche

Evolution vs Revolution

Small habits vs Radical Transformation.

Ang ating toolkit for this topic is to simply reflect anong ambag sayo ng Chaos. Recall those times na charming ang randomness. Draw from your experience how chaos contributed to your focus, freedom, or change (transformation).

Having the mindset that Chaos is natural and isn’t something na laging deadly, you might be more welcoming of it pag bumibisita sya. Sabi nga ni Peter Byelish (si Littlefinger ng Game of Thrones):
