Roll Your Own Fortune (Cookie)

Share this on...

The fortune cookie that ends your Chinese restaurant meal sets the tone for the rest of your night, and possibly the rest of your life.  On the plate upon which they are served, WHICH cookie is YOURS??  There is a lot of pressure riding on what you unveil on that little strip of paper that’s randomly stuffed inside a fortune cookie, isn’t there?  We’ve all broken one open, read it, and said “Huh??” as we shrugged our shoulders.  Fortune cookies are getting a little stale – in both senses of the word.  The tiny scrolls of paper offer only tidbits of cryptic advice, and no real insights in to the future.  More confused than ever about our fortunes, we somehow manage to muddle through the rest of our night and the rest of our lives.

Chinese fortune cookies have quite a history, they are easy to make yourself, and there are some great, and not so great fortunes that we have read in the past.

But wouldn’t it be special, if those tiny little fortunes were truly prescient, profound, inspiring, and life changing?

We are here today because of the path we chose in the past.
