Faith’s Prophecy

Por Moises Garcia

When you read Greek mythology, you find various stories where a kin is foretold his future of given a prophecy. Usually it has to do with the king’s end and fate, and usually the king sets about trying to change his fate. Of course, what ends up happening is that the very actions that those kings undertake to change their fate are the very actions that ensure their demise or the fulfillment of the doom prophecy.

Curiously, away from the mythology, the same thing seems to happen in our lives. All too often, those things we try to avoid or fear happening to us, are eventually the things that become realities in our lives. Whether we dislike something about our parents and don’t want to become like them, but we eventually do; or something as mundane as trying to avoid some person or place, but ending up in that spot and right with that person. It is almost like a theme, perhaps like part of the fabric of life, and something we just can’t avoid even those who seemingly live a “charmed life.”

So, what to do…what can we do? Our best option is to not stress about those worries, and just know that some unavoidable things will happen. We have to try to live our lives with positive focus, trying to learn from mistakes, growing, learning, and reaching for the good and the positive.

On the positive, it is perhaps possible to put energy, effort, focus, and determination into the things that are worthwhile and within the realm of our abilities, gifts, and real potential to make reality positively stated “prophesies” about our life and goals.

What, what? You say.

Well, namely that if you know that you have natural abilities in say math, then you can make the positive statement of: “I will be an engineer of this, or that.” Or “I will become a teacher, and will lift poor kids up with good knowledge.” Anything that is a positive thing to focus on, something to work for, and something to have brimming faith about is what I’m referring to, while putting the negative and distasteful off to the side and just not dwelling on it.

Faith in your good potential is an essential component in fulfilling a positive “prophesy.”
