We all know of people who have serendipity on their side: Those lucky ones with money and success. They are not always of particularly good morals, or have have an excellent philanthropic side, and often disreputable. Being in the right place at the right time can also be a factor for everyday folk, but in my experience nothing happens unless you work at it.

I believe in serendipity and also think it works hand in hand together with hope. However, I feel that serendipity cannot occur without hope. So one needs hope in everything he of she does.

The concept of serendipity is so fascinating to me, but if you're a religious person you don't call it serendipity, you call it the will of God. It happened to me many times, being in the right place at the right time and experiencing something incredible, I hope everyone gets to experience this kind of feeling!

Serendipity and happiness are two different things . I am still trying to relate them based on this book content.

I have found myself in such aituations a few times and it did bring happiness at the time, but I also got confused as to how I got there and how could I repeat it again.

I've had moments of joy and accomplishment, but they sometimes felt like happy accidents. I was left wondering what specific actions or mindsets led to those moments.

I've experienced similar situations in the past, where I felt happy and content, but later struggled to understand how I achieved that state and how to recapture it.
