Fortune Tellers, Positive Thinking and Personal Transformation

A friend of mine recently visited a tarot card reader to have his fortune 'told'. He was excited to tell all who would listen that within just a few days, several of the things predicted had come true already.

Clearly astounded by the teller's accuracy, he asked me to have my cards read by the same lady. I admit that his story sounded amazing, but I politely refused the invitation to see the fortune teller.

I have always suspected that card readers are keen observers of their clients' body language and personal details which circumstances provide them with the basis for healthy guesses about the future. These guesses have a suggestive effect on those who believe in the ability of the fortune tellers.

The number of times you replay the predictions in your head, the more they will influence your thoughts in that direction, and the more you are working positively to make them happen. It is the law of attraction of the univertse working together with your mind. What you think is mirrored right back at you. Your thoughts eventually become real.

While I can't see or predict any of the future events of my life, I believe that I can create part of that future by thinking about it always.

The same principle of attraction also applies to negative things. By ceasing to think about undesirable things, we can get rid of their negativity. Should negativity occur, ignore it - focus on the positive. As you ignore what you don't like, you will notice how it eventually disappears.

In the last few years I have learned to detect the things that trigger my negative emotions, giving me the ability to avoid them whenever possible. I see less of the people who seem to have nothing good to say about their lives. These are people who are highly critical of the things, people or events around them.

I kicked the habit of reading the sensationalized stories of newspapers. When personal problems strike, I allow myself a minimal period to smart from the hurt or the pain but I am careful not to play sad thoughts in my head. What I think, I begin to feel. If there is anything I want to change about my self, all I have to do is think about it always and somehow things go my way.

I don't need a fortune teller to look into the future. I consider myself to be the master of my destiny.
