My sister knows someone who's very good on card reading, most often she go there every time she wants to make certain decision, especially when it comes to taking risk. Now, as the new year start she ask me to go with her and have my whole year reading for my future, but I refuse to since I want my future to remained as surprised. How about you, do you like to know your future? do you go to any psychic reader?

yes sometimes i want to know what will happen to me in the future. I am a very curios person. although i know that these things might not happen since these are probably things that could happen but in the end it's all up to me but i want to know anyway. I haven't tried personally going to a psychic but have been taking online quizzes and chat to online people who can predict tarots and such haha but none of them really explains the future for me their readings are confusing haha. Sometimes its just numbers etc. Can your friend really read fortunes? can she read one for me even if it is online :)

Yeah, it's not my friend but it's my sisters friend. I have seen her once when my mom went to her place. Yeah, she can read it well, I believe on her that's why I never tried myself because I'm afraid to know my future. I don't think she can read online because she's kinda living in a remote area and I don't know if she knows how to use computer. She can give you a number for lottery, based on your card. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, you're right, we are the only one who can make our future, well anyway there are just making predictions and it's all up to us, to believe in them. It's still good if we don't know our future, there would be a lots of surprises ahead of us. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I really don't want to know my future for it may bother my mind. I hate seeing myself in the future. I'm sure if I'll know my future I will be more conscious on my actions. There is also an advantage if I know my future but it is more sinful act because only God knows what our future be. We really cannot detect where God wants us to be. So I'd better live life day by day and treasure every moments in my life. It would free us from any headaches and fears..

Yeah, you'll gonna spend worrying for something that's not really sure, if you'll know your future through psychic reader. You're right it's only God who knows our future, and it's all depend on us as well. We have the power to control and live the life we want in the future by living today. Although there are some circumstances where God gives you a little hint of your future, where He wants you to prepared for something happen ahead through other people. It does happen to me. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I do not currently go to any psychic readers and, like you, I never plan too. I totally agree with you when you say that you should have your future remain a surprise. Although maybe there is somethings I would like to know. Like yes or no questions. Such as am i going to be rich? or am i going to have a good job. Things like that. Hope this helps.

Well when it comes to those kinds of questions like if we're going to be rich in the future, or we get married a perfect guy, or we able to reach our dreams. It could have an answer base on our actions, there might be a possibility but still it's all depend on us. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I don't think it is possible too see your future and even if it was where will all the fun go. I prefer every day to be a surprise and memorable than just waiting for something to happen. Also don't forget all the sci-fi movies and the possible disruption of the time-space continuum... ;)

Well it could be really hard to believe those people who has capacity to read and know your future. Since we all have different kinds of belief. Me either would like my future to be unknown than known to me. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

I personally don't go to any psychic reader nor would i like to know my future because let's take the smallest example: Let's say you want to start your business and you learn that your company will make crazy profits so u jump out of the chair and rush everything without planing your company's development, you might end up crashing your future.
To make my point a bit clearer i find that the future, if ever determined, is defined in the moment you try to read it. But try getting your future read two minutes or whatever laps of time you'd like to take after your first reading, it probably might not be the same. Why? because the future is continually changing due to your changing actions.
At least this is how i see it, so if i ever had my future read by a psychic, and if he really can read it, i'd like him t stand by my side and read it to me second after second, minute after minute, because every breath you take changes your future.
@careguarden (5670)

Yeah, you're right, every seconds and minutes change and we can't control it, but through predictions we can make changes in the present in order for our future to be what it should be or shouldn't be. Like for example when you're predicted to meet an accident an accident by plane, so, you'll gonna avoid making anything that regards to traveling, so in that way you able to control what should be happening in the future.Yeah, when someone tells our future would be great in a day from now, we would tend to live and believe on it, which is good even if in the end it would turn to be bad,at least you felt happy for a minutes. Well that's just my simple thoughts. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah, what really makes the future great is because we didn't know what well happen in every second and minutes of our life. If we know the future, it's gonna be boring, although we can't help not to get tempted to know the future because it's our human nature to know everything.

Hi, I want to know my future if I have a chance to know, I think everybody is curious about the future, someone want to know, and someone don't want to know, as you the future would to remained as surprised, but I don't believe the card reading, I don't think they can really tell people what their future like, I wish I could have a mystical mirror, and can see the future, that would be a lot of fun.

Yeah, everyone is curious what their future holds but not all have the courage to know their future. It could be real fun for some people. Have you tried card reading, as you said that you don't believe on them? Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Yeah I know some people prefer it that way, for their future to be a surprise. Anyway I don't mind knowing what lies ahead of me, I just hope it isn't something scary or harsh. I think it's better to be informed about the future , I mean at least, one can take the necessary steps to avoid them, if at all it's possible to avoid it.

Yeah, it could be better if we know a bit about our future at least we could do something about it, or perhaps avoid those huge troubles and problems that come our way, or simply enjoy life to the fullest if we know our time is near.lol Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Same with me, I rather not knowing what my future will be. I agree with you, I also want my future to remain as a surprise.
What if we knew about our future and feel very happy about it if it will be good and suddenly it turn out not as were said. You will feel frustrated right.
So it is better to leave it that way, not knowing your future. I will be the one who mould my future.

Yeah, if we know the future and it's gonna be bad so we will spend time thinking and worrying about it,when in the end it's not unfortunate. And as like you said if the future tells that it's gonna be good when it's not we gonna feel disappointed. Although it all depends on the person and on how she/he gonna take all those predictions.

Well in my sister's experienced so far it did good to her. She didn't missed anything and never had any regret, the lady is really good, it did help her a lot in so many things, especially on the kind of my sister job right now. She never been to any astrologer, so you've been consulting an astrologer? how does it differ? Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi careguarden, I have different reason for not knowing my fate before hand. I think our mind gets conditioned into looking at only those aspects of any situation, so we start moving in that direction. Suppose the forecaster tells me you'll find the man of your dream, and then comes this handsome guy, who is not the man of my dreams, but because the forecaster said you'll meet somebody like that, I start telling myself - hey this is the man of my dreams, and make a fool of myself of course. ha ha. But it is true in many instances, we orient our thinking as per the forecast, which we may not have done under normal circumstances. :) So I avoid them.

Yeah, you're absolutely right,it did happens that's also the reason I prefer to keep my future unknown to me, because I don't want to influenced other things in making the decision that I supposed to do, and I don't want to expect things that and live on that predictions. I want to trust God and trust myself as well. Knowing the future prevents us to explore and to grow. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hello! I do admire people who can truly read the future. But i am not tooo trusting on anyone who can do so. Sometimes the human mind can judge unfairly and we, the seekers of the answers about the future might not be given much truth.Eventhough i am aware of this,in my mind, i still submit myself to anyone i meet who claims to have that gift of seeing things in the future.Some came true and some not. I listen intently but I dont really accept those.Some friends of mine became paranoids and i do not like to be one. It's all how you receive these things actually.Some readings are guides yes, but it's all up to you if you keep them in your heart as well. It might harm you emotionally and mentally. nothing wrong with trying to know it, what is sooo wrong is when you embrace it wholeheartedly and lose dwelling in the present which you need to have focused more on.
@careguarden (5670)

Yeah, you're right some people really get paranoid because they embrace and live on those predictions, it seems that it became their life and they live with it. Simply because they didn't know how to control their self, that's why their emotions control their actions and their life. That's also the reason why I prefer to keep the future unknown to me, because I've those tendency on thinking on it. I want to live a life with freedom against uncertainties. Life's like that!

It's almost so tempting to go to psychic readers, tarot cards and the like to "guess" what's in the future. I am even fond of zodiacs and horoscopes though I don't believe most of it, sometimes if it just conjures to your own behavior and occurrences in your physical world, there it becomes interesting. Sometimes in social networking sites, there are lots of know-your-future quizzes which are somehow petty in approach. Like guessing when will be your wedding date, when will you get pregnant and all, of course you will raise your brow but its fun! So with regards to the going to the psychic reader, it might be fun to go and have your future read by somebody, actually I believe they have this strong sense that is why they are also inspired to do these business/hobby. For me, if I know someone on the street who would just ask for a fee which is fair enough, then why not?!

Yeah, it's could be really interesting to know our future. The tarot reader where my sister go didn't ask that much payment, it's just little and that's what makes her go there since she really reads well and almost always she predict it right and really good lady. But I feel kinda scared if the my future would not be that beautiful I might spend time worrying about it. That's why I prefer not to know the future.

Hey careguarden! I'm not really sure if I could deal with knowing
what my future holds! I know that most "real psychics" and I
do believe in them won't tell you straight out if something
really fatal is going to happen to you, but they will get it
across to you in some way! I would be too afraid to find out!
Especially if it is something that you couldn't change! Would
you want to know ahead of time if you were going to die of
some terminal illness or a horrific accident if you couldn't
change or prevent it! I am reading a book right now written
by Sylvia Browne who is a world reknowned Psychic, and it is
about dreams! I can barely deal with what she is saying about
that!
@careguarden (5670)
• Philippines
15 Jan 10
Yeah, it could be real hard to deal, if we know our future would be turn to be bad. That's also the mean reason why I don't want to know my future. Well also there's some benefits we could get knowing our future, like what happened to my sister, she was being told by a tarot reader that she might experienced a serious kind of illness in the future that's why she's advice to pray, then she did pray a lot and we also pray for her, and that prediction did happened but she able to overcome with it because of prayer.
Oh, yeah I heard about Sylvia Browne and she's really good psychic reader although I haven't yet read some of her books. Anyway thank you for sharing with us my friend and enjoy your day!

No, I never prefer to know about my future. If you are gonna identify what your future is all about, then what is the use of living in this world and it looses its meaning and thrill. My friends go to sooth sayers to know about their future but I never do as I have a staunch feeling that no ordinary human should predict our future. This is one of the interesting topics being started by you and wish you a lovely time in mylot. Cheers:-)

Oh, I'm glad that you like my discussion, anyway, I agree with what you said, if we able to know our future the thrill, excitement and surprises will be gone and there would be no meaning in our life. Life is gift and in a gift we don't know what's inside. That makes us happy and excited opening every gift that we have. Anyway thank you for sharing with us and enjoy your day!

Hi
No I dont beleive in getting my future read.I feel that it just adds on to new troubles,like I will be very doubtful in terms of everything.
I know a few people who catually beleive a lot in all this and can do anything to get the desired outcome.
I believe in Que sera sera and that is my life's motto
