Just by looking at someone’s behaviour and actions, you can certainly see if good fortune is coming to him/her soon. You can use this method to gauge your own future. If your afflictions are gradually decreasing and your wish to benefit others is getting stronger, it is a sure predictor that your fortunes are on the rise.
If your afflictions increase and negative thoughts keep proliferating, it's a sign that you're heading to the lower realms, and your future is quite dire.
The same applies when observing others. If a person becomes more humble, respectful, and kind, they have a bright future; if they are mean, arrogant, and love to take advantage of others, they are bound to face calamities in the future.
Similarly, when disaster is about to strike, you will see that this person's behavior trends towards non-virtue. This serves as an early warning.
If you wish to gain good fortune and avoid sufferings, then before talking about doing good deeds, you must first correct your own faults.
