Answer 3

I've lived the major years of my life already,so I can tell you that there is such a thing...beautiful confluences of events that merge at a given point in time to create a moment that was unforeseeable...for me those times have been rare and yet undeniably ...serendipity is woven into the fabric of life. it's greatest affect is to bring a sense of wonder as the universe unfolds some of it's many secrets to you ,saying calm down..there is more control to this madness than you can understand....josh

Answer 5

They are a gentle push toward betterment.

Answer 6

Serendipity is a wonderful way to live, because it requires an attitude of awareness for the abundance of life, and usually gratitude as well.

I'm not sure I see it as fate, but rather when the world seems to come around to answer your own needs, thoughts or desires. I even suppose this could occur when the result weren't exactly the way we may want it to be.

We still have the capacity to choose our direction in spite of serendipitous choices, and, I suspect that we may have a great deal to do with serendipity by the attitude we take towards life, our gratitude, and our awareness of options that the world constantly presents us.  

Answer 7

Serendipity = happy discoveries made by accidents.  I have a problem, in that I don't believe in accidents.  Circumstancess brought together by the universe for the betterment of all parties concerned. And the best way to do that is by 'lucky days'

Peace.
