Example: Mom is cooking lasagna for dinner. She makes it herself from scratch, not a frozen meal from the grocery. So there are naturally many steps until it is done. When it gets close to the last couple of steps she takes, she can forewarn the kids to be ready for dinner as dinner is 'about to be ready to eat'.
If what you refer to is something more along the lines of psychic predictions, not all things can be for sure an event about to happen. If something is already in progress, such as already pregnant and a psychic says your baby is going to be a boy, thats something that has already been decided, even if you haven't had a test at Dr. yet to know from there.
Predictions about something good about to happen in your life, a change for the better about to happen may or may not. I am only sharing what I have learned by gathering info on the net. So sad to say, even if told something is going to happen, it can all depend on the free will of any and all people involved. Let me give a good example. I have a friend who is psychic. One day at a 4th of July gathering she told me that I am about to meet the guy who'd become my next husband. Well that didn't happen for another year and a week, the 11th of July the following year. I thought about to happen meant soon like in the next couple months. So I suppose it really means how soon a person feels 'soon' should mean. I did meet him. Thats the day he finally wrote to me and we chatted by phone during weekdays until following weekend when we met in person. I could have met him much earlier. I had a dating site where he found me but he knew of me a couple years earlier and never wrote to me. He just didnt think I was who I said I was..meaning I sounded too good to be true. So his will interfered with my "about to happen" but eventually he did write. And what is meant to happen will eventually come to be, no matter what. No one, not even psychics, can predict what any one persons choice will be ahead of time because people can change their minds several times before finally taking a certain path or choice.
