Finding Beauty in Chaos | BoostBC

I recently read a book that said, you cannot improve your life if you are surrounded by chaos, and though I understand where they are coming from, I felt that I strongly disagreed with this take. I think there are some of us in this life that become far to comfortable in life, especially when we have an easy routine and habits that keep us going. Yes, making changes to your life can be easier when you are not trying to organize your house or your calendar, but what about the changes that can be born of the chaos around us.

It can be the things around us, causing the most craziness in our life that can force us to try new things, and keep us from getting stuck in a rut. This can be as simple as taking a wrong turn, and having to find a new way to get to the store. Maybe that leads you past a new coffee shop you didn't know existed, so you have to stop and try it. Maybe you find your new favorite drink and come back again and again, and this leads you to meet someone new. It's the unpredictability that can show push us forward when we ourselves were too afraid to make the leap.

I think the best way to handle chaos, is to embrace it. Learn to go with the flow when you can and

follow where it takes you. Maybe your first business idea didn't pan out the way you wanted, but that's okay, you still learned something from trying. Maybe your first website was a bust and half the links didn't work, that's okay, build a new one.

There is a special madness to the trial and error method of building your business, but if you can embrace the mistakes as learning opportunities and roll with the punches, you will come out stronger on the other side. There is so much beauty in the chaotic life spinning all around us, I do not believe it is possible to state with such certainty that we cannot thrive or build the life we want without first forcing that chaos into routine and mundane daily life.
