No one predicted this — not even me
Years ago, a well-known Montreal numerologist and palm reader told me the future.
I was an editor at Elle magazine, fact-checking an article about him, and he enjoyed our conversation so much he invited me to bring myself, my mom and my sister to him for a free reading when he was in town.
I don’t remember much of what he said, but I do remember this: He taught me that the lines on the palms of our hands are always changing. That every choice we make alters the course of our lives, completely changing the trajectories of our stories.
I’m pretty sure the rest of his projections for me were bogus, but that part rings true. If only because he could only read so far into the future, based on the choices I had already made, or not made.
See? You really are more powerful than you might know or believe.
It gives me hope that even now, with so many people putting their lives on hold, fearful for what the future may bring, the future of our countries and even the world cannot be predicted. Not by your favourite news outlet. Or politician. Not even by Tony Robbins.
EVERY choice that every person makes has the power to completely alter our destinies.
At the time of that palm reading, neither of us foretold that I’d be publishing a book one day and appearing on TV to talk about it. Or helping others make their wildest dreams come true. To be honest, I was too scared back then to hope for anything much better.
Hope is a muscle we must exercise. Gaining strength, confidence and endurance, little by little.
Even God requires us to take those first steps of faith.
Where are those steps leading you? You’ll only know with each one you take.
