is taking action to alter that 'destiny' part of your destiny anyway? In which case ignoring the advice or changing it, it's still there, if you know what I mean?

How about this...my theory....
If someone tells you about an event before it has happened it hasn't happened yet. So if all is true you would carry along this path and so what was predicted would happen. As you have been warned you make a deviation in your choice and you deviate the original path, ie hire a different van.
Did this mean it was changed or did all that happen mean that instead of one path being set, it never existed to be set and the other was always set? Ie you can only alter what becomes set before the event has occurred. Once set, you can only change the further spins off it.
So the psychic never changed your destiny, you did. Whilst you say she/he were a phoney, did all that happen was a different path was made set and the original choice wasn't. You didn't change as such, you just made something else the set instead. Ie instead of thinking 'change' think of 'what becomes set in stone forever'.
As you cannot prove the other would have happened without the intervention, the psychic is now considered wrong.
I've been told that some things are 'just the way it is'. I believe that to be true after it has happened. I believe before it has taken place, we have the option to make a number of decisions and create the outcome. The only thing is you need pre-information before it has happened to influence your choice to effectively prevent something bad becoming set.
And if we did, would the Universe find a balance?
To give a final example.
If I said your avatar didn't do you justice...
Would you...
a) ignore me because you like it and what do I know
b) take my advice into consideration and change it.
Whatever you do in that moment is set, nothing has been changed. It becomes set true. Now all you can do is alter the spin off the set decision. Ie change it later or not.
So if you take high risks in life you attract to you the chance of being killed. If you make more careful, patient decisions you attract the chance of a longer life. We still make errors though which can cause something to become set, so the more careful you are (ie electricity) the less chance you have of the error.
However, once dead, you cannot undo dead.
The only time I think you can prevent this becoming set is if you know in advance and so make a different decision.
We have to make our own decisions and perhaps a psychic can only influence them. Not give us the whole picture?
Therefore they are right also when they say what will be will be.

To answer below (I love this).
The psychic was right in that what happened happened. But at the same time, by telling you what happened before it happened also gave you more choices, like, "Do I want to get pregnant?" so therefore because you are looking for that, you now attract it.
So you might trust Mr Right where without this thought in your subconscious you may not have.
Once your decision is set you can only alter the spin off it, so she was right.
Equally you could choose not to get pregnant and take precautions and there is still error allowed, but IMHO I think you could make decisions not to get pregnant to the extremes of maybe never allowing the date to go further.
The psychic becomes wrong as she has caused you to influence the original planned decision. As she influenced you you can go even further and say she was now set to influence you.
Whatever happens. It is what is meant, because it is set.
Even my post here creates choice. If you read it you base your decisions on mine for or reject. If I don't post, you have nothing to be influenced by. I don't like religion. I think we already know.
You cannot prove the future as only one thing is ever set.
Amageddon might happen because so many people believe in it and think about it, they will decisions to make it become set. Once set those decisions cannot be undone, only the spin off it.
The best thing for me about psychics is that they can bring you up, motivate you and give you goals because of your beliefs in what they say to be true. It might also be true (or you will it to be true). But the belief also influences your decisions. They give you hope back.

So what is the real track record for this "fortune teller"? Seriously how much research have you done regarding their past performance? You are asking thousands of complete strangers to help you make a life changing and expensive decision based on the ranting of a supposed fortune teller. You need to get a firm grip on reality.

First off if I were you I would not listen to a fortune- teller. Why? Because they are trying to make a FORTUNE off of you by filling your head with non-sense. Look at what they are being called and that should put up a stop sign right away. Listen they have no truth for you for if they could see into the future They would not need to charge you. For they would be rich, and I do mean rich, and they would not have time for little ole you. So save a buck or two and try believing in your-self. Also remember that a mind you can save is your own. So give it a break........................

Out of interest I once went to see a clairvoyant.
He told me, in pretty precise detail about an event that would happen to a van I was going to hire. It was nothing dangerous. For work reasons I didn't need the van but heard the next time I was at the hire place that what he had predicted had happened to the people who had the van I would have hired.
And no, I'm not making it up. Make of it what you will.

if a fortune teller told you a vehicle will knock you down from the left side of the road soon and it worried you, every time you crossed a road you would pay more attention to the left ,and a vehicle may hit you from the right because of this. whatever your way of life before going to this person was do it that way because it keep you alive and safe and you are familier with it that way .if you start altering this way because this or that might happen you are not paying proper attention and could have a accident. *SAFE*

I believe in ESP--my husband has it beyond any possible doubt. Even he says he can't turn it on and off at will, though. He knows if something has happened to either me or his mother, and many times he will mention something, and within a day something will come up about it, no matter how obscure (not too long ago he was daydreaming about the old TV series Frazier, and wondered whatever happened to the dog--the next day, it came on the news that the dog had died). I still wouldn't trust anyone who tries to tell you they can predict the future for anyone, no matter what.

A good fortune teller will usually give you possible outcomes to a situation, not definite ones. I read Tarot, and my usual spread is one that shows a couple of different possible paths, and it often gives insights as well on how to change those paths--or sometimes even an idea of what might happen if you do try and change the road you're on.

I have learned that there are few absolutes and that nothing is written in stone except those few absolutes.
i.e. We are free-will agents, able to accept or reject information, make choices, rethink our game plan. What the fortuneteller shows you is a POSSIBILITY according to the path you are walking at the moment.
Do you define destiny as unalterable? In that case, we are not free-will agents, then.
In agreement with angk, I will add, we possess all in the NOW and create the future in the now.

O was once told to be very careful as i could be in an accident. I'm always careful anyway and nothing happened to me if!!! My friend who went to see the fortune teller minutes after me, was told she was about to move to another country ... She was involved in a very bad crash (Not me) and she didn't move to anothr country (I did) How freaky is that? I mean psychic got her facts wrong on this one but did she really? Since one of us was left seriously injured in a crash and the other left Britain for Ireland?

you go to a fortune teller, then that was your destiny anyway, life's full of decisions, as humans we make them every day, if we decide to do something, and then later regret it, all we can do is pick our selves up again. life is not how or why we fall, just how good we rise above it. Im not sure if i believe in destiny or furtune tellers, just live your life the best you can.
