The Butterfly Effect – How to Manifest Big Rewards by Making Small Changes (30-Day Challenge) chaos theory your youniverse law of attraction
the butterfly effect is defined as the idea that a small cause such as the flap
of a butterfly's wings can result in dramatic effects like altering the path of a tornado
this is also sometimes referred to as chaos theory which is defined as the
phenomenon whereby a minute localized change in a complex system can have large effects elsewhere
a meteorology professor and mathematician by the name of edward lorenz who searched for a means to
predict weather gave a lecture in 1972 wherein he stated a butterfly flapping its wings in brazil
can produce a tornado in texas in an experiment to predict the weather he used a computer to
enter precise variables and discovered that any small change in those variables such as change
in temperature or wind speed caused a dramatic change in the simulated two months forecast of
weather predictions his writing speeches and interviews conveyed that the butterfly is a
symbolic representation of an unknowable quantity making the phrase butterfly effect now common to
use to describe situations where in a small cause can produce a large effect it became so popular
that the title the butterfly effect was even used in the creation of a popular 2004 movie and there
are many examples of the butterfly effect for instance did you know that the lego group began
in a carpentry workshop that mostly assisted in the construction of houses and furniture
the workshop owned by old kirk christensen a danish carpenter burned down in 1924 when a
fire ignited some of the wood shavings old kirk then constructed a larger workshop to expand his
business but when the great depression hit he had fewer customers and had to become creative
shifting his focus to smaller projects those projects consisted of producing miniature
versions of his products such as step ladders and ironing boards which led to his inspiration
to begin producing toys when plastic became available he began producing miniature bricks
now the lego company is a very popular and profitable line of construction toys
and related products and services to include board games retail stores video games films
theme parks and consultant services it's also said that lego pieces outnumber humans by 62 to 1.
in another example of the butterfly effect a fictitious book called friday the 13th written
by a stockbroker named thomas lawson in 1907 is said to cause extensive losses to the u.s economy
the butterfly effect – how to manifest big rewards by making small changes your youniverse law of attraction
on that particular day the book is written about a businessman's attempt to crash the stock market on
friday the 13th creating a link between bad luck on those fridays and poor stock market performance
in researching the book's effects one publication states the s p's 500 stock index performs worse
on fridays that end in 13 than it does on every other friday and priceonomics.com states
since traders are subject to both market forces and the whims of their fellow traders financial
markets could be the one place where superstitions have a basis in reality you don't need to avoid
black cats on friday the 13th but you should avoid scheduling your ipo that day and although i wasn't
able to verify it it's also been stated that the u.s economy loses 900 million dollars on this day
because instead of going to work holiday or out shopping people stay home instead
and another more recent example of how ideas spread and impact individuals
is blendtec's will it blend videos the company blendtec which sells blenders
turned their brand for an everyday household item into a viral sensation
because the company's founder tom dixon was always testing the power and durability of their blenders
their marketing director george wright used a very small budget to begin using this testing to create
a video series called will it blend where random objects are used for this testing with one video
attempting to blend an ipad and pulling in 19 million views these examples show two things one
small things can have large effects and two everything seemingly is interconnected
essentially each path and decision has the ability to produce a different outcome
our thoughts beliefs decisions and actions set a ripple into motion that affects our lives and
the lives of others can you think of one small event in your life that if it had been different
it would have drastically altered the events that you experienced
we are in a constant state of creation a state of cause and effect each moment in our lives and the
occurrences in those moments can be taken back to the very moment before this isn't necessarily
mystical we experience these ripple effects all the time even if they go unnoticed but have you
ever noticed that when you smile at a stranger they almost always offer a smile and return
and have you ever heard that with just one small gesture you could change someone's life
maybe you have even if unknowingly the golden rule seems to directly relate to this effect
do unto others as you would have them do unto you our actions have great value and examining
those actions prior to making them can be the small change that produces the larger effects
one immediate way to begin creating these positive changes is by choosing an optimistic mindset
yes it is a choice and with this choice some individuals may even find that they
did not realize that their dominant mindset habitually moved in a negative direction

but the choice begins the change and our thoughts can immediately be altered to create a ripple
effect that directly impacts our reality in fact just by choosing to have an optimistic mindset
you can begin to create the habit of that so it becomes a natural occurrence in your life
with new thoughts and choices even more new thoughts and choices are created
this leads to new beliefs new behavior and new actions one way to begin implementing these action
ripple effects is by creating a butterfly effect 30-day calendar write down several small things
that you can do each day that will have a positive effect on you or someone else and then commit to
following through with those actions this could be as simple as smiling at everyone you meet all
day long or committing to turning every thought that comes into your mind into a positive one
or deciding to give compliments to others or be grateful for every single thing you encounter
or wake up a few minutes earlier so that you can dedicate some time to something you're passionate
about there's a great example offered on compound interest that shows how a small change can create
a huge impact and we can use this example to compare how our lives might increase in abundant
ways by investing in ourselves on this chart you can see how starting with just one penny on
day one and doubling the previous day's investment each day for 30 days can rapidly reap huge rewards
even if you don't see a 100 return each day the principle of compounding holds true for smaller
returns again showing the power of the butterfly effect and this is true of the returns in our
lives the choices that we make continuously grow and shape our lives and what we put out we receive
back often multiplied with just one choice things that are in alignment with that decision will
begin to present themselves to you compounding the interest of those choices essentially paying you
for the choices you made this is true whether we consciously do it or not or whether we do it in a
positive or negative way as sean acker wrote in his book the happiness advantage each one of us
is like that butterfly from the butterfly effect and each tiny move toward a more positive mindset
can send ripples of positivity through our organizations our families and our communities
think back over the chain of cause and effect in your own life what decisions did you make
that got you where you are today and what's a simple choice that you could make right now
that moves you in the direction of the life that you want to live you can set the intention right
now to make that decision by putting it in the comments section every day we make choices that
affect the course of our lives and just one choice that you make today could be the seed
that changes your life and or the lives of those you love in abundantly positive ways
