Fortune Telling: Do You Believe in It?

Fortune telling, the usual thing we hear about being able to know what the future holds for us will always draw varied criticism. Many do not believe in it, while some do. Depending on how superstitious a person may be, it all boils down to believing if what your future holds for you is believable or not. For the record, consistency from how gifted people are able to read you without uttering a word will surely be the first gauge of measurement in being able to tell if a person would believe it them or not.

It takes much to impress me. For one, I may flash that smile to your face, but in my mind, I am trying to evaluate if you are for real or just a plain con artist. This goes the same for all the people I meet everyday, friends, business partners and people in need. While I will admit that it has reached to the extent that people I get close to may end up from claiming true friends to con artists, this experience is really something for the books and sad to say, I do believe in this person I met yesterday.

It has been one of my personal agendas to be able to meet up with highly touted fortune readers, for the sake of knowing what tomorrow would hold for me and my family. The experience was truly something the enlightened me and had me teary eyed. There were bad expectations as usual, but being the person I am, the way that this person read me was perfect. I found no inconsistencies and basing on her sincerity, the fact that she did not demand any amount for her services and just asked for referrals and help for her not so fortunate family hit me in an instant.

Our first meeting in itself was impressive. Sitting and drawing one card alone, this girl read me perfectly. From my past to current status, everything was clean as a whistle. The things in my mind, the fact that I defy odds and the real world, not believing in fortune telling or "hula" as Filipinos are fond of calling it, my failed marriage, my prized possession of which is my daughter, my career, and my approach towards people and lastly, my lost for belief in love. Pinpoint reading is what I would call it, and all past and current issues were like clockwork.

All I cared about was for the future of my daughter and my career. Truly, everything was fattening to the heart, especially the part where I would meet someone who would love me for who I really am and serve as my eventual partner. Nope, it is not my ex-wife nor the person I have been constantly pursuing. She will just pop up one and will make a total difference in my life, same thing when I read my Feng Shui for my 2007 outlook.

Career wise, it was really vivid in the same way that it is now. Taking on all these things, working, pushing my current company towards success and writing as hell to carve a name out of myself, it was all described in one word..."Personal Fame". Well who wouldn't but it is not for the money entirely, it is more on personal success and satisfaction. True that I do not go for the financial rewards initially, it is more of being comfortable with my lifestyle and accomplishments, something that I have been preaching ever since I got out of college.

Health is a concern as I should take care of my heart. Nope, I will not have cardiac arrest. It is more of hiding emotions and my inability to blurt out what I feel. I keep heartaches to myself and would rather not divulge them since no one has yet to understand my inner feelings and thoughts. Guess I just haven't found the right person to guide me, but that is okay and I will live.

Whatever reactions people would have on fortune telling, I will respect your insights. But as far as I am concerned I do believe in this person I met today. My heart goes out to wanting to help her and her family, but for sure I will want to meet her again and provide more help as I was really tight on budget today. There were a lot of things I learned, and to be honest, I am glad I did just that today.

It was worth taking time out from work and knowing fortunes and misfortunes. Whether they come true or not, well, it doesn't matter. I believe it will all still depend on me and how I drive my life into the roads of reality, something that will always pop up surprises.
