People Shared Their ‘Butterfly Effect’ Stories That Changed Their Lives

Whatever happens, happens for a reason.

Destiny can be a funny thing. It’ll lead you from one place to the other and you won’t realise why some things are happening. However, after some time passes and the big picture becomes a little clearer, you will realise why some things had to happen in order for you to reach your destination. Even a few seconds of quick decision making or sheer luck can change your fate. That is when the butterfly effect comes in.

What is the butterfly effect? It is a chain of events that lead one thing to another. A small action influences something really huge in the future. I’m sure you might have experienced it at some point in your life. You can literally change your life in a matter of seconds by doing something very small, which seems insignificant at the time, but it really isn’t. People on Reddit shared their “butterfly effect” stories and you might want to give them a read:
