Real Life Examples Of The ‘Butterfly Effect’ Shared By People
You more than likely know what the Butterfly Effect is if you're here. If not, it's when a tiny change creates monumental consequences, good or bad. You never know how important a choice is until something like the following happens to you.
Different Classes Let Him Find His Wife

I wish there was more on this story, such as how the woman broke both of her arms.
Besides that, this is like a fairytale story or a Disney film.
Choose When To Leave
![drive alone drive alone next time](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/drive-alone-15309.jpg?width=633&height=758)
Carpooling with someone to an event is always a bad choice when you think about it. What if you need to leave?
Thankfully, this person knew they would want to depart earlier, and it saved their life.
One Minute Was All He Needed
That's crazy; it only takes one minute to change the route of your whole life.
I wonder how often this man thinks about missing that flight. It probably keeps him up at night.
Thank Goodness For Homesickness
![flight crashed flight crashed but she missed it](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/flight-crashed-41167.jpg?width=633&height=672)
As sad as this story is, it reminds you how important your home is. Always remember where you're from, no matter how far you go.
It's unfortunate for the others, so at least she made it.
Good For You!

No one should let a breakup keep them down. Take a page from this book and keep going.
I don't know where this person ended up emigrating, but I'm sure they still love it.
Procrastination Helped Him
It isn't often that procrastinating will help you find a new passion you learn about in school for years.
This guy got lucky, but that musical sparked it all for him.
Whale Whale Whale...
![whale watching whale watching turned into a love](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/whale-watching-72838.jpg?width=633&height=617)
Whales are beautiful and majestic animals; it's hard not to love them for that fact.
This person had a different love that helped them become a warrior for the nation while protecting the whales.
Find Out Your Roots!
![he's from spain he's from spain not mexico](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/hes-from-spain-75763.jpg?width=699&height=854)
The moral of this story is that everyone should know their true origins. It can lead to a lot.
For this guy from Spain, he was able to find his wife.
Heels Are Dangerous
![mom slips in heels mom slips in heels and has a kid](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/mom-slips-in-heels-32648.jpg?width=630&height=873)
If there's one thing to take away from this it's that heels will always be dangerous.
They hurt your feet and make it harder to walk. Thank goodness something good came from them this time.
School Isn't The Only Route
![nursing now nursing now after changing classes](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/nursing-now-24139.jpg?width=698&height=856)
This person thought they were going to be a teacher in a different field, but that's not what happened.
I know she didn't expect her life to turn out like that.
Toddler Senses
![grandpa survives grandpa survives when he was a kid](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/grandpa-survives-94582.jpg?width=631&height=584)
Is it safe to say that kids can sense things? How did he know to go to the other bed?
Well, he didn't, it was just in in his instincts to do it.
Be Open To Make New Friends
![going to six flags going to six flags was his best decision](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/going-to-six-flags-83173.jpg?width=635&height=868)
If this guy wasn't open to making new friends, he wouldn't have found his best man for his wedding.
He was bored and could've easily stayed at home. That's how much a small decision can make such a large impact.
This Fortune Cookie Changed His Life
Most of the time, fortune cookies give people generic lessons and fun facts. This one changed his life.
Also, that earthquake played a big part in this journey as well.
Go Use The Bathroom When You Need To
![bus falls bus falls but pregnant woman skips it](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/bus-falls-46295.jpg?width=630&height=730)
It's sad to hear about those others. Hearing about stories like this is always mind-blowing.
Had she held her bladder, she would've lost two lives, hers and the future child.
That's A Major Discovery
This is why moms should always be helpful to their children. I wonder how they ended up bonded after this?
This sounds like it could be a Netflix film with enough creativity added.
Coffee Saved Them
To know that coffee saved your life, you'd probably want to drink it every time you had the chance.
This is a wild story, but also it's crazy how they had to go to so many McDonald's.
An Upset Stomach Let His Friend Find A Wife
![friend had diarrhea friend had diarrhea and changed plans](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/friend-had-diarrhea-34597.jpg?width=633&height=791)
It's always beautiful when you meet someone for the first time and you two instantly clicked.
That's what probably happened with this man and the woman he ran into at the restaurant.
Going To Jail Helped Him
![got arrested got arrested for drugs](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/got-arrested-16097.jpg?width=710&height=869)
If he never went to jail, he wouldn't be where he is today. Managing multiple restaurants is a dream for a lot of people.
This man's choice of drug propelled his life.
Thank His Alcoholic Friend
![new job new job for guy who had to move](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/new-job-78263.jpg?width=630&height=772)
If it weren't for his drunken buddy, this would've never happened for him. This was a real domino effect.
This is how wild the Butterfly Effect can get, but it gets crazier.
Finish Your Beer
![finish your beer finish your beer when you go out](https://www.dadpatrol.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/finish-your-beer-27813.jpg?width=632&height=778)
I'll admit to not finishing my beer all the time, but I might have to change that after seeing this.
There's no telling if they would've got crushed by that car, but it sounds like it.
