Back in 1952, an author named Ray Bradbury published a short story called:
“A Sound Of Thunder”
In it, a hunter named Eckels pays 10,000-bucks to travel 60 million years back in time with a company called Time Safari.
Now in the story, Time Safari takes hunters back in time so they can hunt the legendary Tyrannosaurus Rex dinosaurs.
But there’s a catch...
They don’t guarantee your safety - and they DO NOT guarantee your return.
Also, since even the smallest change you make to the past will have consequences in the future, the time travellers have very strict orders.
Only walk on the path made by the company.
And only shoot when the company says so.
Anything else you do could change the future for better or for worse.,,,
Would you go on this adventure?
Anyway, long story short.
Eckles gets terrified by a T-Rex, he runs back to the time machine through the jungle instead of on the path, and waits for everyone to get back...
But when they get back and see the mud on Eckles boots - they know something terrible has happened.
That the future may have been changed forever...
And they were right.
When they exit the time machine back into the present day, they start noticing things are strange and different.
The man at the front desk is a little different to when they left. And so is the smell in the air. And so are the signs and letters on the wall!
Eckels quickly looks down again to his muddy boots and...
"Embedded in the mud, glistening green and gold and black, was a butterfly, very beautiful and very dead."
The Butterfly Effect
People used to think that life today is a product of very big events in history…
A war, an election, a natural disaster, or maybe some major new trend.
But is it true? Is the world really created by those events?
Well if you think back to the story above. It’s not actually the case.
Eckles didn’t blow up the forest, or set an entire jungle alight, or kill everyone and everything in sight...
No. He just stood on one small little butterfly.
One tiny little creature...
That was it.
And that one butterfly slowly changed the entire course of history.
You see, the Butterfly Effect states that even an event as small and insignificant as a butterfly flapping its wings will eventually add up until something major happens...
So this whole idea that big events create the world isn’t actually true.
Think about it...
What causes those big events to happen in the first place?
Isn’t it usually a lot of small things that add up?
How The Butterfly Effect Will Undoubtedly Change Your Life
What about you...
Do you maybe have a goal or dream that seems way too big, or far too out of your control to be possible?
Do you maybe feel like some of the small things you do on a daily basis just don’t matter?
Or do you maybe feel like you have no real effect on what happens in the world?
Well, think again.
Because just like the Butterfly Effect, all the little choices that you make on a daily basis will without fail affect you, and also the world as we know it.
Either those little choices are going to add up positively. You’re going to become the person you truly want to be. And you’re going to make an impact on many many lives...
Or your little choices will be negative and will add up negatively…
...and they’ll take you farther and farther away from your true potential and the impact the world needs you for.
What Little Choices Are You Going To Start Making Today?
One way or another you’re going to affect the world. And it’s ultimately up to you what choices you’re going to make. So here are some ideas:
Little Choice #1: You decide to wake up 15 minutes earlier than usual every single day to do that extra bit of personal development.
RESULT: Three months from now you are much happier and you’ve grown as a person.
======
Little Choice #2: You decide to save money you sometimes blow eating out and you buy a book to read instead.
RESULT: You discover something that completely transforms the way you live your life or do business. And things are never the same again.
======
Little Choice #3: You decide to stop doing something that you know you shouldn’t be doing. And instead, you focus on building a new healthier habit for 90 days. (like exercising, or changing your diet a little).
RESULT: You have way better self-confidence and self-esteem. And you feel motivated and ready to do more and be more.
======
Write this down.
Your efforts will seem small. Until they’re impossible to ignore.
How are you going to implement this story into your life?
