Serendipity

The concept of serendipity can be comforting in a world where we have so many choices to make. It is nice to think that "fate" will guide us. If we leave too much up to serendipity we won't be active players in our own lives. We can sit around and wait for something to be "guided" to us or we can go out and get it. It is that inciative we take that allows us to have chance encounters with opportunities or people that will change their lives. People have an idea of a direction that they should take and then chance encounters can lead people to their ideal job or life partner. I don't believe in serendipity persay but I do believe that statistcally speaking throughout one's life amazin things will happen. It is inciative, luck and ability that lead to success!
