Here's what a palm reader told me about what the future holds for me:

1. I have long life line (which for better or worse, means I'll live long enough to be in a wheel chair)
2. I will experience true love in my life (assuming it exists)
3. I will be married once (hopefully not divorced once also!)
3. I will be the father of 2 children (hopefully a product of the one marriage)
4. I will be comfortable, but never rich in my lifetime (hopefully "rich" is over $1 million a year)

Although amusing, I don't place much significance on these predictions. The lines on one's palm cannot thoroughly predict the events in one's life with any certainty (although I must admit, the prospect of finding "true love" is enticing to me). Things can change in an instant, and I truly believe everyone is the master of their own destiny. Life unfolds based on the decisions that we make, and the actions that we choose to undertake. I've taken the luxury of reading my own palm, and here's what it says:

1. I will be open minded, and never take anything for granted
2. I will learn to see value in anything and everything that I encounter
3. I will give, before I expect to receive
4. I may not live a life full of years, but I will live years full of life!

Someone who is down to earth, and doesn't take themselves too seriously. If you are at ease with making a fool out of yourself, enjoying the sight of others who make fools out of themselves, and laughing like a hyiena, es muy bueno!
