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?

@innateJoy9602I try not to think of my future becaue it is not here yet. I try to improve the mistakes I made in the past so they do not return to where I am right now. I live each day the best I can. Do the best I can in my personal life and on here with 7 cups. Although I suffer from some mental issues I try not to let that define who I am.
Yes. I would like to know, so I know what I can be focused on, what to let go in my life or whom. What to keep or what to prioritize knowing my outcome and results or what I could change if I knew the future. I think sometimes there is more safety in knowing than not knowing even if everyone is different. And what they feel safe with. Knowing for me is safe.
I definitely wouldn't want to know my future. If my God had wanted that he would have created me so I could. There is sooo much beauty in life but I couldn't know the good if it wasn't for the bad times. Every experience in my life up until now has played a part into making me the Desiree I am. There are good parts of me and bad parts because I'm imperfect. What joy would I get in life if I had nothing to hold onto joy to? Nothing good to anticipate? I can't experience dreams because I would already know them. That's got to just be sad. Sure, some things I experience I could say I wish I didn't happen... but deep down I know if certain things didn't take place in my life (at the exact time it did), it would change my whole life course. I don't even want to get into all that so with that said, I'm grateful for every good and bad thing in my life because it made me me. I couldn't be where I am now if I already knew it all. I wouldn't have my joys and that would just cause me sadness. Not knowing is best for me.
