At the end of every year, I like to cull the headlines of psychic predictions for the new year. Maybe it’s a reflection of what is about to happen in American politics but so far, the predictions are all over the place. From global apocalypse and a new pandemic on the horizon to a ‘rebirth’ of humanity and a pregnancy for Taylor Swift! One thing is certain — there is no certainty in predicting the future. It’s why it’s imperative that we educate ourselves with the facts: the news of what is really happening and not embellished with “alternative facts” or wishful thinking — and then use our common sense to ferret out what is plausible from what is pure speculation. While it’s entertaining to read about outlandish predictions or celebrity gossip dressed as foresight, the real power lies in staying grounded in reality. By seeking reliable sources, critically analyzing information, and questioning biases, we equip ourselves to navigate an unpredictable future with clarity and purpose. The coming year will undoubtedly bring surprises—some joyful, some challenging—but how we prepare and respond will shape our experience far more than any psychic’s crystal ball. As we step into 2025, let’s commit to discerning truth from fiction and using that understanding to build a better, more informed future. As always, Go Beyond the Headlines…
