The Butterfly Effect

Andy Andrews | August 20th, 2021

 

Evidence that would demonstrate how important you really are. Definitive proof to exactly how your life matters.

Encouragement is temporary, but proof is forever.

Andy was awoken in the middle of the night to e informed of a study was to be revealed the following week: study was that suicide was more common amongst those who were not in the air force.

  1. No matter how we encourage them, nothing changes.
  2. Asked Andy to prove their life mattered not just encourage them.
  3. Would they operate differently if they had proof their life mattered.
  4. Encouragement is always welcome, but proof stands the test of time.
  5. Proof beyond a reasonable doubt, proof changes your mind and doesn’t allow you to think any other way
  6. Proof must align with the truth, if it’s not aligned with the truth, it’s not proof

In 1963, Lorenz proposed the butterfly effect – a flap of a butterfly’s wings could start a hurricane in a distance. Was proven accurate, viable, and could work every time.   Any form of moving matter’s first movement, or lack of action matter and impact the next.

Early 2000’s, ABC’s person of the week honored a 91-year-old man, Norman Borlaug. He dramatically changed the world the way we live.  His seed saved more than 2 billion lives from famine. Andy laughed knowing that Henry Wallace hired Norman to run the plant in Mexico. Or was it George Washington Carver who instilled love of plants into Henry Wallace when he was six years old? Or was it Moses, who traded his only horse to get Mary Washington’s son George Washington Carver back after a raid.  Moses walked the baby home and nursed him back to health. They promised God if he lived, they would raise him as his own, honor his mother by educating him.

How forward would we need to go into your life to see the impact you will have on the world.   Generations ahead of you are depending on the actions you take today.  You are one of a kind, no one will ever be like you again.  Billions of lives will be altered by you being here.   Your life and what you do with it today, matters forever.
