Some people sit around waiting for “serendipity” to strike. But let’s strive to be different. Let’s create our own opportunities and actively seek out what we know we want.
There comes a time in life when we learn that principles such as hard work, honesty, kindness and integrity are not the outdated ideals of a bygone era, but the mortar that holds together the foundation upon which we must build a life.
All the while trying to achieve our goals- a fundamental aspect of life.
Through lessons and experiences, we learn, grow and evolve to the amazing human beings we know we can be.
One things for sure, change is the only law in the universe, and the only way to deal with it is to embrace it with open arms.
Of course there’s insecurities. Doesn’t everyone have them?
The rule is we must refuse to let them control our lives.
We learn that we don’t know everything, and we are not entitled to our opinion only our informed opinion (after all no one is entitled to be ignorant, right?)
We learn, it’s not our job to save the world and that we can’t teach a pig to sing. We learn the only cross to bear is the one we choose to carry and that martyrs get burned at the stake.
We realize we only get life once and that ‘alone’ does not mean lonely.
We learn to embrace it fully.
So we learn to take more time to rest. To travel. To just sit and inhale and ponder the moment. To know it’s happiness when we are happy in that moment. And, just as food fuels the body, laughter fuels the soul. So you take more time to laugh and to play.
Then we learn about love. We learn to look at relationships and friendships as they really are and not as we would have them be.
We get hurt and we ache and we reminisce the memories but we love nonetheless and learn to never demand, never assume and never expect.
We learn to simply accept.
So Suck it up buttercup! If you keep waiting for serendipity to strike you’ll never be at the right place, or the right time or the right situation, all you’ll find is yourself waiting on your deathbed with a list of regrets about things you never did.
So live, love, laugh and this thing called serendipity—the process of “stumbling” toward discovery is an illusion for those waiting for the big-win.
There’s no accidental stumbling.
Dahling, you gotta go out and “claim” your own luck!
Honey, that’s just life!

So well said once again… I couldn’t agree with you more… that nothing is an accident and you make the most of what you got…and If I may add to that is that “it is exactly the way it’s supposed to be!”
Cheers!xo
