archivesHappy new fractal year!
Picture showing the fractal invariance of scale in a tree. Background is the Battle of Normandy (D-Day) Memorial, in memoriam to the allied forces who liberated Europe from the Nazi yoke, Caen, France.
I wish you to have all your wishes realized. But to be a little more accurate, I actually wish you to precisely know what you want and wish. Because wishes have a much better chance of becoming true if you can clearly formulate them.
That-is-to-say, in order to clearly know what you want, and how you can get it, you will need:
- Aims (requirements)
- A plan to reach them (control system)
- Means to act (actuators)
- Means to measure your effort (sensors)
- The ability to adapt to your environment and to what you have measured (back to the control system) Notice a good control system does allow you to change your aims as well as your plans along the road. Heading straight into a storm is probably not a good idea…
So, as you follow where I am heading to, yes I do wish you to be a full pilot of your own life, not a passenger. And do not forget “Goals are dreams with a deadline” as one says.
If you find your life is too much of a fractal it might be because you don’t control enough your life. It is normal to perceive the world outside of you as a fractal, with its good and bad news, with positive or negative black swan. But inside of you the way news affects you is very much under you control. The way you behave is under your control.
World might be fractal, your mind might not if you master it.
All the fun of life is knowing what you can change and what you cannot.

Be in control of the first thing you can readily control in that world: yourself ;-)
