Rising Above the Chaos: 3 Divine Paths to Inner Peace
Our default state is chaos. We live and go against that tide.
We are born into this chaotic world with no idea what’s happening.
As children, we rely on our caregivers, who are more ordered than us, to teach us how to act. And they learned the same way — through their caregivers.
If the caregiving is chaotic, then we’ll perpetuate the chaos cause it’s our default state. That’s intergenerational trauma.
I’m staying clear of that topic, but I raise this point to illustrate that we’re born into chaos we didn’t ask for and it’s up to us to order it.
I wish I knew this when I defaulted to chaos. But also I don’t wish for it, because I wouldn’t have realized the importance of following these 3 routes (and there are surely more) to order:

- Awareness and education.
- Having faith that chaos is the default because it is through chaos that God instills order.
