It's the little things!

I think that this advice can be interpreted as be grateful for all the little enjoyable things in life. If someone can find joy in daily happenings that person will certainly be happier and have increased satisfaction. And, if a person is finding joy in every day that he or she did not previously ever really think about, then that person would be running into fortunate situations everywhere and would therefore be allowing for serendipity. I don't ever think of "serendipity" on a daily basis, but I know that when I am in a good mind set and just enjoy things I like, like a breakfast or a nice breeze, my good mind set is definitely increased.
