The Butterfly Effect.

In 1963, Edward Lorenz presented a hypothesis to the New York Academy of Science. His theory, states simply, was that:

"A butterfly could flap its wings and set molecules of air in motion, which would move other molecules of air, in turn moving more molecules of air - eventually capable of starting a hurricane on the other side of the planet."

Lorenz and his ideas were literally laughed out of the conference. What he had proposed was ridiculous. It was preposterous, but fascinating nonetheless to everyone who had heard his claim.
Therefore, because of the idea's charm and intrigue, the so-called "butterfly effect" became a staple of science fiction, remaining for decades a combination of myth and legend spread only by comic books and bad movies.

So imagine the scientific community's shock and surprise when, more than thirty years after the possibility was introduced, physics professors working from colleges and universities worldwide came to the conclusion that the butterfly effect was authentic, accurate and viable.

Soon after, it was accorded the status of a "law". Now known as The Law of Sensitive Dependence Upon Initial Conditions, this principle has proven to be a force encompassing more than mere butterfly wings.

Science has shown the butterfly effect to engage with the first movement of any form of matter - including people.

Everything you do matters.

Every move you make.

Every action you take, matters.

Not just to you,

Or your family,

Or your business,

Or hometown.

Everything you do matters

To all of us

Forever.

There are generations yet unborn whose very lives will be shifted and shaped by the moves you make and the actions you take today. And tomorrow. And the next day. And the next.

EVERY SINGLE THING YOU DO MATTERS.

You have been created as one of a kind.
On the planet Earth, there has never been one like you ... and there never will be again.
Your spirit, your thoughts and feelings, your ability to reason and act all exist in no one else.
The rarities that make you special are no mere accident or quirk of fate.


You have been created in order that you might make a difference.
You have within you the power to change the world.
By your hand, millions- billions- of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.

The very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose.
Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold




So what you do with your life today...
Matters forever.
