Everything that we do affects the world around us
No matter how big or small
If we succeed or fail
It affects the entire world in one way or another
It was once said that the flap of a butterflies wings can cause a typhoon in Japan
Something so small can cause something so drastic
We all know that a butterfly cannot really do that
But, it is right in its idea
No matter what we do there is consequence
Migt be good might be bad
Might be anything under the sun
There's no use trying to avoid it
For avoiding it changes everything also
Live your life to the fullest
Don't hold anything back
For a life that is held back
Is a life of regret
Don't live with regrets
Let things go
Make your dreams a reality
What's the worst possible thing that can happen
You fail
Well that only leaves you as you began
You might not succeed
But it's better than never trying
What if Edison didn't try to make the light bulb
What if Franklin never tried to discover electricity
What if we all just gave up
Nothing would ever change
But change is important
Change is neccessary
Change the peoples way
If we lived in a word about change
We would not be able to survive
This is our life
This is our world
This is our time
Now go out there and accomplish your dreams
