I was listening to a radio show and a psychic came on the air. People called in and asked her to tell the future of an area of their lives. For instance, a man called in and asked what was going to become of his health in the next year. She asked the date of birth on all callers. This man was born in 1961 putting him roughly fifty-three years old. She immediately brought up his blood pressure. He replied with great astonishment that this was an area he was struggling with.
In the words of the great Gomer Pyle, “Surprise, surprise, surprise!”
We live in America where the number one killer of men is heart disease and you speculate that a fifty-three year old man is dealing with blood pressure issues. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist, or a psychic for that matter, to figure that one out.
Why do we turn to psychics? Why do we play the lottery?
We do it for hope. We want to know there is hope for our future.
The sad thing is that there is no hope in either fortune telling or playing the lottery.
There is hope, however, in designing a plan for your life and then putting that plan into action.
In fact, that will actually pay off with a reward in the end.
Sorry, I’ve got to cut this short. I’m having lunch with Miss Cleo.
