The Butterfly Effect.

Every tiniest decision is like the gentle tap of a key on an old typewriter, carrying a force a hundred times greater than we could ever anticipate. As we write, we often ponder what will come next. Through levers, springs, and ink, our words transfer onto paper, creating something unique, something that cannot be repeated.

 

We often wait for results that don’t always come right away, which breeds frustration and doubt in what we do. Yet, every movement of a finger alters reality, for better or worse. The beauty of the unknown reminds us how little we truly understand about life.

Do you believe in the butterfly effect? If not, try changing something. Don’t rush for a moment; sit down before your journey and do nothing. Buy flowers for yourself without a reason, or greet someone you usually avoid making eye contact with. Is it raining? Turn off your phone and step outside without an umbrella. Listen to the trees.

 

Do you have a typewriter? Sit down at midnight and write the first paragraph of your book, even if you don’t plan to finish it. The world will shift. Just start writing, expecting nothing in return.

[* The butterfly effect is a concept from chaos theory that describes how small changes in initial conditions can lead to vast and unpredictable outcomes in the future. The term was first introduced by American meteorologist Edward Lorenz in 1963. The name "butterfly effect" comes from his suggestion that the flap of a butterfly's wings in one part of the world could potentially cause a storm in a completely different location.]
