Perhaps it's the paradox or the risk of feeling stupid that makes us avoid some of life's dynamics. But face it we must. Change the perception and we change the belief. Most of us have much more control over out lives than we think. Many of the events that fate brings are not random or without cause.
Events tend to come in clusters or bunches.
Events tend not to be spread out evenly. Chaos theory offers some insight in this area. In business our employees, customers, vendors and contacts judge us by how we perceive our significant events. The more we trust in fate the less we are perceived to be in control. If we react negatively to events then we project an image of negativity.
