Do psychic readings stop us making our own progress?

jdd2003:
I was just thinking about this and thought I'd pitch the idea...

Over the last few years I've spoken a lot to psychics and feel like I am way to dependent. I am trying to stop myself from doing this as it's not necessary. Other people get through life perfectly well without speaking to psychics so surely I can do the same. Today something dawned on me though...

Yesterday I spoke with Aries Intuition. I really like her and find her very accurate. She predicted that I would communicate with my guy within a one. I did indeed speak to him today. However, I am the one who initiated the contact. It was a fantastic conversation that's had me smiling all day. The reason I decided to contact him myself is because I stopped and thought about it realistically- he is blatantly into me, so surely it's not offering encouragement if I am always waiting for him to contact me. Perhaps he thinks I must not really be into him since I never contact him. I could have sat and waited for him to communicate, and maybe he would have initiated it today, but doesn't that take away my control from me? So, technically, AI was right in that it was within a one that I spoke to him. But it did get me thinking on how many times I might have missed an opportunity because I was so hung up on what a psychic said that I would almost be frozen to action.

I think it's really dangerous to get caught up in these readings like I have in the past. It strips control from us. I think a lot of people stay in something instead of walking away because a psychic sees x,y or z. Or we don't take actions because predictions. I could rely on readings that he will do this or this, or you'll hear from him in so many days, but I realised I run the risk of ruining things. Psychics are like a security blanket. Isn't it better to just let go, go into life with your whole heart and live in the moment?

Truth:
great post. i think, for me, sometimes i get nervous about my decisions. like - if i do this or don't do this how will that affect the outcome. or, should i even put energy into this, will it go anywhere? but you are totally right - that's what life is all about.

loops77:
I think there is a tendency to get passive from readings...you do forget to stop living and do what you would normally do in some situations. Definitely. There is a time to be passive, as well as a time to be active. Its just a matter of learning how to balance it.

This is a grest post.  With respect to romantic readings, I think if one is in a stable relationship then the need to call lessens.

I know I altered my behavior staying in a situation too long based on what the psychics told me. Turns out I should have trusted my own instincts.
 

Lincoln Memorial:
I was thinking the same thing.  Maybe I don't want to know what is around the corner.  If I do, I might take a different path.  There are few enough surprises in life, maybe by consulting psychics, we are doing just that -- taking the surprise out of life.  I said to myself, no more readings for a while.  It is time to live life.
