\"\"<\/a>An excerpt from T<\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/a>he Butterfly Effect<\/a> <\/em><\/em><\/strong><\/strong><\/em>by Andy Andrews<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

Every single thing you do matters.<\/p>\n

You have been created as one of a kind.<\/p>\n

On the planet Earth, there has never been one like you …and there will never be again.<\/p>\n

Your spirit, your thoughts and feelings, your ability to reason and act all exist in no one else.<\/p>\n

The rarities that make you special are no mere accident or quirk of fate.<\/p>\n

You have been created in order that you might make a difference. You have within you the power to change the world.<\/p>\n

Know that your actions cannot be hoarded, saved for later, or used selectively.<\/p>\n

By your hand, millions\u2014billions\u2014of lives will be altered, caught up in a chain of events begun by you this day.
\nThe very beating of your heart has meaning and purpose.<\/p>\n

Your actions have value far greater than silver or gold.<\/p>\n

Your life…
\nAnd what you do with it today …matters forever.<\/p>\n

\n
