Destiny - Fixed or Variable?

My friend just paid over $600 (already discounted) for her fortune to be read, again.  It's not the first time she goes to a fortune teller, and they all tell her almost the same story.  Well, she could have just paid us half the cost, and we would have repeated her fortune to her again.

According to the fortune-teller(s), there are some setbacks in certain aspects of her life.  What I don't understand is why know what lies ahead of you now when there is no remedy to it?  Would that have made you more prepared for it?  Or would you just expect it to happen without doing a single thing about it, surrendering yourself to your destiny as told by a stranger who makes a living out of telling fortunes?  Or after knowing, would it be that simple to just let go & focus on the present?  Would what you know in the future impact your decisions now?  Wouldn't that be a pity to miss out on all the wonderful things in life that could happen?

Like many fengshui practitioners believe, how our lives turn out to be depend on 3 things:
- 33.3% on destiny the moment you were born
- 33.3% on fengshui elements
- 33.3% on your actions

What I'm trying to tell you, my friend, is that there is still hope that your life may turn out differently, based on the actions you make.  Fortune-tellers can only tell you your destiny, they can't predict your actions.  Hence, do not succumb to your destiny just as it is.  Enjoy the present, make the right actions for your future.  And, if there are certain setbacks in life, pick up & move one, knowing it's just a part of your history.

P/S: I hope you'll have a wonderful life and family ahead.
