The Scary Unknown

The unknown can be scary because details about the future can not be known with certainty until it is lived.

The fear is one of the big reasons people want their future told. Not knowing what will happen can give rise to debilitating anxiety.

Consider this: A person does not have to experience fear of an unknown future. Instead, control can be applied.

You see, the future is malleable. What a person does today, or doesn't do, will affect tomorrow. Today's attitudes, decisions, conclusions, and desires all affect what will be.

Acceptance of the truth that one can affect the future can release hard-held anxiety and fear.

Of course, things can happen suddenly with surprising results. Yet, the way those events are approached and dealt with again gives a person some control over their future.

Future is not predetermined with such power than it can't be changed.

For each individual, there are certain things that tend to happen or manifest.

Numerology can reveal what many of those are. Other divination practices like astrology, tarot, and psychic perception, might also be utilized. Even the services of an accountant may be useful when the quest has to do with income forecasts or the viability of a business plan.

Whether consulting with others or with ones own inner knowingness for predictions, there is a truth that should be remembered: Just because something is predicted, doesn't mean it must come true.

The future really is malleable.

A prediction is only a prediction, like a weather forecast is only a forecast. Events that seem to indicate a certain occurrence or result can change before that future is reached.

When something is changed now, it can have a large effect on the future.

Thus, when a prediction is made, a person can decide whether or not the predicted thing is desired.

If desired, personal actions can reinforce or make the prediction more likely to come true. If undesired, actions can be taken to circumvent or nullify the prediction.

When a prediction is taken seriously, as if there was nothing that can be done about it, the prediction might also be self-fulfilling or self-destroying.

A self-fulfilling prediction is one that comes true because the prediction was made. For example, a person is told they will be hired at a good job within the month. This can energize them to apply at every company in town, eager to know which one they will be working at. Without the prediction, the person is unlikely to have made the extra effort.

A self-destroying prediction is one that prevents the very future it predicts. For example, a person is told they will find a job within the month. This could be perceived as though there is no need to make the effort anymore. So the person stops looking for a job. And no job materializes.

Although the future can not all be known with certainty, understanding that a person has much control over what the future holds can make it less scary, even exciting and something to look forward to.
