Many believe that God and Jesus are in control. People hope the white hats are in control. They fear the black hats are in control. Some fear that evil is in control.

The scariest thought for many, religious or not, conservative or liberal, conspiracy theorist or asleep sheep, is this:

No one, nobody, no group, no government, no entity, no power, no god or demon, no artificial intelligence, no politician, no cabalist, no elitist... Absolutely nothing... Is in control.

I'm not saying those things don't exist, and even influence life to some edger. But what if, just if... It is all 90% chaotic random chance? By physical laws, by God's will, whatever reason. 99% or even 99.9999...

A lot of people find that thought disconcerting or even terrifying. It's easier to think your compatriots are in control, or your enemy is.

But it shouldn't be scary. It should be liberating.

The more random and chaotic it is, the less things are really being 'controlled', the more influence you can have. The more your little actions can make big changes. The more your big actions can have monumental outcomes felt for generations. That random chaos is potentiality. The wind is just air blowing around until you erect a sail. That warerfall is just a beautiful piece of nature until you build a turbine. Those directionless, mindless sheep are just p-zombies (or lost souls, for the religious folk) until you set them to a task, project, think tank, job, or mission.

The resources are all around us. Bubbling up, appearing and disappearing in the quantum chaos of life's existence. Mindfulness has its place, but don't be afraid of the chaos. It's practically an endless untapped resource.

Use it.
