Chaos theory and destiny
So,
Our smallest actions can
all contribute to
devise the world of the
future !
Chaos theory shows that events are not
entirely determined by the past.
Small events in the present can change
dramatically the future.Our destiny is not entirely determined.
We can influence it.

The choice of the Age to live in
You can decide to stay in a previous Age.
Like the Orang Asli of Malaysia who live in the
jungle at the door of Kuala Lumpur, lookingfrom far at modern lifes light. And deciding
not to join, deciding to live in the hunter-
gatherer Age

The choice of the Age to live in
It is highly respectable to choose to live in a previous Age.
Those who make this choice are often
happy

The choice of the Age to live in
Another example of people choosing to live in a previous Age is the Amish
community in the USA. They live in the Agricultural Age.
Often people who decide to live in previous Ages do so in closely knitcommunities. The community supports the needs of the individuals
and prevents the temptation to join the next Age
Choosing to live in a previous
Age certainly diminishes
risk and at the same time,
diminishes opportunities
for individuals.

2- Emotional stability
So that your motivation does not get destroyed by the inevitablepersonal responses on interactive tools, emotional stability is key.

potential of misunderstandings.

2- Emotional stability
Emotional load is reinforced because exchanges are public, and because
the interaction is still less dense than in face-to-face.
Tips for emotional stability:
Alignment with purpose. Focusing on your purpose willmake you forget the bumps of the road.
Virtual communication skills. Get used to virtualcommunication. Improve your delivery of meaningfulcommunication, avoid misunderstandings.
Letting go. Youll experience small failures andunsatisfying interactions. Dont worry. Let go. They are
nothing compared to the big picture. Community/network support. Get a strong emotional
support from your close community, friends and
significant other.

3- The habit of giving for free
Giving is the essence of trust. That is the case in real life. Even more so in
virtual life. You need to give to build trust and only then, get things in
return.
Learn and practice giving in your daily life. You might be surprised by
what comes back!

3- The habit of giving for free
Giving is the beginning of possibilities. Maybe that little thing you gave,
that little seed you planted in ones mind, will trigger exceptional
realizations. Who knows? Give, and dont expect immediate results.
And, be grateful when you receive. Maybe today you dont know what you will
do with the gift, but eventually youll know.
