If You Could Know The Future, Would You Want To Know?
“We go through seasons of our lives not knowing what is up ahead. We anticipate the storm, trusting we’ll make it through on the other side. We hold tight onto prayers, hope, and peace. Even when things are going great and seemingly perfect, do we really want to know how it will play out?
I wouldn’t want to know that I’d pursue my dreams and touch the sky. The small moments of joy and celebration that would surpass my wildest dreams. I wouldn’t want to know all the people I had yet to love. The newfound pleasure of a kiss and a touch. The different ways I’d find a glimmer of hope in an “I love you” with someone new. I wouldn’t even want to know that the tough times would seem so small compared to all the magical miracles. The magical miracles that would take over in the most unexpected ways.
I would want life to remain a mystery. Unfolding by each second of the day. The sweet surprises and even the bad news; I don’t want to know until it’s time to know. I want faith to be the very thing that carries me. Even as life continues through the valleys of the highs and lows. It is with faith, where I can’t see what lies ahead, that I trust the steps and direction I take.”

✨Discussion: We go through many stages of life without knowing what lies ahead. I'm not sure I'd want to know what lies ahead. I want to be optimistic about all the wonderful things that are still to come and embrace the mystery that is life.
✨Reflection: If you could know the future, would you want to know? Or would you choose life to remain a mystery?

Anxiety says- "a sneak peek wouldn't hurt🤭" but Rationality says- "Mystery>>>" lol
I think part of living life is not really knowing what the future, even the very next minute holds for us, it is nerve wracking with the "what-ifs" but at the same time, the surprise element is also a driving force for hope and belief, in taking it one moment at a time, and letting things unfold at its pace. 💛
@innateJoy9602 I wouldn't want to know. I feel like the uncertainty of life is the best part.

@innateJoy9602 You're most welcome! Thanks for sharing this thought-provoking article!

I would not want to know, but at the same time, knowing how and when one would die, would out life in a perspectie and might make us a better person to the ones around us <3
@innateJoy9602 That's indeed a very interesting and philosophical question. I'm really interested in your point of view too! I believe very much in spirituality (Christianity) and the parallel universe theory. I believe that the future is partially in our hands but some things are meant to be anyway and they're always for good! Even the worst life event can have some thing positive coming out of it and that's where we should focus.
Wether we'd like to know the future or not, we are not able to. I believe that's how the world is made to make our lives functional and at the end of the day this too serves a purpose! Also the future changes with every small choice we make creating thousands of posibilities that may be lurking in a different reality! Thank you for the amazing post <3
You know it’s funny…, if I could know the future I want to know everything is going to be okay but otherwise but deepest hopes and desires I am half scared to know and half want the mystery. Whether I like it al the time or not, the journey is about the hope and the faith which would be lost if we had all the answers
@innateJoy9602
I would just want to know if I get through this or will I not make it.
@Swiftygirl13
That’s a very valid want!
I can understand that thought.
Hope all is well<3
Sending hugs 💛✨

Things could be lots better but it is what it is...

Thanks for sharing.
I wouldn't want to know the future because I won't grow and become better. It would be overwhelming to know in advance which might damage the outcomes.
