The Principle of Cause & Effect

Everything that happens in the Universe is the result of a chain of causes and effects that can be traced back to the source. This principle applies to all levels of existence: Spiritual, mental and physical. On the spiritual level, our thoughts and beliefs create our reality. On the mental level, our attitudes and emotions influence our actions. On the physical level, our actions produce our results.

One way to illustrate this principle is by examining The Butterfly Effect. This is the idea that a small change, in one part of a system, can have a large impact in another part of the system. For example, a butterfly flapping its wings in Brazil can cause a tornado in Texas. This shows how everything is interconnected and interdependent in the Universe.

The principle of cause and effect also applies to your habits and outcomes. Your habits are the repeated actions that you perform every day consciously or unconsciously. They are the causes of your outcomes which are the results that you achieve or experience in your life. For example, if you have a habit of exercising regularly, you might have an outcome of being fit and healthy.  Conversely, if you have a habit of smoking cigarettes, you might have an outcome of being sick and unhealthy.

The good news is that knowing the principle of cause and effect empowers you to take charge of your life. You can realize that you are not a victim of circumstances, but a creator of them. You can choose to act in ways that align with your spiritual purpose, generate positive thoughts and emotions, and cultivate healthy habits. By doing so, you can create positive effects in your life and in the world.
