Today I’ve started a Squidoo Lens on Serendipity . Serendipity and coincidence decide much more of our life than we care to admit. Without them our lives would be much duller.
The word Serendipity was coined by Horace Walpole, who says (1754) that he had formed it upon the title of the fairy-tale ‘The Three Princes of Serendip‘, the heroes of which ‘were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of’.
Someone else spouted “Serendipity ; Look for something, find something else, and realize that what you’ve found is more suited to your needs than what you thought you were looking for”.
I am excited about the break through that I know Serendipity will bring me, how do I know? It’s because I’m proactively looking and waiting for that crucial opportunity, so I’ll be ready to take full advantage of it.
