Serendipity is not only one of my favorite movies but also one of my favorite words. The word itself just sounds so.... happy! Schwartz's advice is to "Allow for Serendipity." I believe the he means that instead of focusing so much making things just perfect, say for example a date, just relax and let things play out.

Schwartz mentions expectations. I am easily disappointed. I absolutely dread my birthday because I have all this expectations for how great it's going to be and when everything doesn't happen, I'm so disappointed. If we don't make this expectations then we don't leave room for disappointment. I find I have more fun when I'm spontaneous and let my ideas, thoughts, and actions take me where they want.
