Live In The Now
A wise man shall overrule his stars, and have a greater influence upon his own content than all the constellations and planets of the firmament. (Jeremy Taylor)
I was in my office; all of a sudden received a call from my friend. He was tensed & wanted to meet me. I invited him for the lunch; he came to my office in the afternoon. I asked him to relax but he was so tensed that he was not ready to listen anything. I was disappointed to know that he was terminated from his job without prior notice. I explained him the basic legal process & give the reference of my advocate. We left to hotel for lunch.
Near the hotel a fortune teller was sitting with his parrot. The fortune teller suddenly called my friend & said, sir you are in very big tension. My friend was surprised & he turned back to him.
I suggested my friend not believe in fortune teller. Most of the fortune teller does not really know the future. They just predict the future by inducing innocent people to say something and guess from the information they give.
Our knowledge of the future is limited. We do not know in the morning how our life shall be by the time it is evening. Yes we can do a lot of guessing and predicting about our future and tomorrow, but we simply cannot know what shall be on the morrow.
My friend was more interested in knowing his future. The fortune teller asked few questions to my friend & he answered accordingly. Luckily the fortune teller shared some positive thoughts with him & he was smiling. I thanked God, I know what the fortune teller predicted may not be accurate, but the positive prediction gave him some relief from his worries. Another thing I noticed is the positive talks from the fortune teller helps to release stress. Psychologically, this is a healthy way to relieve the frustration.
Our future is all mapped out for us from the day we are born. Whatever is destined to happen will happen. But many a times we can change our destiny for the better. The choices we make in life play a big part in shaping our future destiny.
Generally one out of three People believe in Fortune Telling, Personally I don’t believe in
Fortune telling. Finally It depends on us, how we want to make use of it or not. In the end, we are the one who can predict our own future. It is not really necessary to look too far into the future; we see enough already to be certain it will be magnificent. Only let us hurry and open the roads.
It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves; we are underlings. (William Shakespeare)
