From the moment we wake up to the moment we close our eyes to sleep, we make thousands of decisions. Sometimes, even in our dreams, we make choices.

Our life is basically made up of them. And from the moment we could think for ourselves, we've been building our lives with these choices we make every day.

Some of them are big life-changing decisions that we have to think about for days. Others are just things we do on the daily like choosing what to eat for lunch or what to wear.

No matter what it is though, our choices have effects. While some may be inconsequential, others may create a butterfly effect.

At its core, the butterfly effect describes a mysterious phenomenon of interconnection between people or something small and the larger world. It's like when a small, seemingly insignificant action or decision leads to a significant and unexpected outcome.

People have been studying it for years and while no one might still be able to explain it entirely, it never ceases to capture and amaze us all. It simply blows our mind how it could all be connected.
