I predict to live on a day by day basis. Being somewhat cynical, I have to say that I laugh when all these people give their predictions. From news commentators to sportscasters, everyone knows what’s going to happen. No you don’t!
For all those out there who like to think they have the answers and are sure about what each day will bring, well you haven’t done a bang up job so far, now have you! In over 50 years, I have yet to see one person get it right. My goal for the new year is to stay away from shows such as Meet the Press etc…who will politicize the year to death. I will also avoid ESPN and ET, for a while anyway. The first few weeks will be nerve-racking until everyone gets predictions out of their systems.
How did predicting the previous year work out for you? I’m sure all of those celebrities we lost in 2016, would have preferred you just leave it alone. And don’t get me started on the election polls. Ha! This is the time of the year where optimism prevails, but so does reality. We all hope for a better new year, every year. It’s been like that for centuries, I assume. I would love to predict that I will win Publishers Clearing House jackpot. Problem is I don’t read magazines anymore. And I predict unless you buy at least 5 subscriptions, they won’t even consider you.
Some of us can’t handle what might happen down the road. My goal is to just get up each day and face the next 24 hours. There are those who also believe in destiny or fate. I for one have always felt that things happen for a reason. How can you predict that? You can’t!
If you believe in naysayers, we should already have been extinct. Thank goodness those predictions didn’t work out, right! Therefore, I predict you will not get any from me anyway. That is one you can count on will be 100% on target!
Have a Happy and Safe New Years!!!!!
