Hi MyLottians,
Have you had your fortunes read by a fortune teller? Are you a believe in the ability of fortune tellers in forecasting what will happen to you in the future.
I am a Buddhist and there were 2 fortune tellers who had read my life experience and potential by observing my palm, facial feature and my date of birth. They were very accurate in pointing out the problems that I have encountered in my life. They also gave me advice on how to bring out my potential. They taught me that what they can reveal is how much I can achieve in my life but whether I can fulfill my destiny depends on my actions and thoughts. The most amazing thing is that they only took 5 minutes to point out all the highlights of my past and my character. For someone whom I have never met before, I was totally convinced.
As I am a Buddhist, I believe that it is fate that we bring us together in our lives. The first master that read my fortune took me 4 appointments just to meet him. In fact, everytime when the appointment date drew near, something happened that needs his immediate attention. I waited for 6 months before I can finally meet him. He only charged me S$12 as a form of donation to the Buddha.
I also understand that there are swindles making use of people's beliefs in god and cheat them of their savings. I am fortunate that through recommendations, he was willing to read my fortune for 20 minutes. Not everyone who is willing to pay him will receive his service.
That was my experience of fortune telling...whats yours?

Hi there. Fortune tellers are people that we believed that can tell/foresee ones future by just looking on our palms or by using some cards.Most of us are very much interested of knowing what will happen in their future, whether what kind of family they will be having or will they a rich person in the future.That is why there are numbers of fortune tellers that came out and claimed that they can tell what kind of future you'll be having.
It's not that I don't believe on them but In my own opinion, theres no one except for God who can teel our future.And I haven't had a chance to atleast see a fortune teller and ask that person to tell my future because I think, if I do such I will just rely on whatever he/she had told me knowing that it might be wrong or right. I mean, If someone had already knew his/her future, then he/she will just rely on every details that the fortune teller told he/her.
So it is better not to know or discover what will happened to you in the future, but atleas,do your best to make your future a succesful one.At the end, you'll realized that having faith to God and hard work will be the best actions that you can make to have a very succesful future. Thank you and happy posting.

Thank you for your comments...I believe you must be a person who have great faith in God and your own abilities. People with such visions are more optimistic and believe that if you are willing to try...there is always a chance. On a contrary, people who don't believe in hope tend to fail very badly. God knows that you are doing well and will be happy for ya. Happy MyLotting...

I don't believe fortune telling since we have a lot here in our country and since we are a poor country most of my country men who really are desperate to have a brighter fortune they tend to believe so much in fortune telling as their way of having some hopes in their life, but most of our fortune tellers here in my country (in my opinion) they are fake and they are only after of the money that the people will give them so most of their foretells are good for your future so that the people will tend to tip them big money.
Once I experienced fortune telling and she keep on asking me so much question but I answered her mostly are lies she foretells my future based on my answers to her question I just smile because most of the time I tell her a lie so that I'll be able to know if she is really genuine.

Like what I have said...many scams in more traditional countries involved fortune telling or similar nature. When people are uncertain about their future, they are more curious when someone shows it to them.
The masters that I have met doesn't ask me questions except for my name or date of birth. Then it is their show...they will just keep telling and I will analyse how accurate they are. Thanks for sharing ya...happy MyLotting...
