The blog will pick a word of the week, to share & explore the selected word. Here’s an expression for the word – serendipity. Defined as the occurrence of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way. Often used to describe a lucky coincidence, especially one that brings something delightful without being planned. Serendipity is an amazing concept that refers to the unexpected discovery of something valuable or pleasant while not specifically looking for it. Happy accidents or moments, where fortune seems to smile unexpectedly.
The discovery happens randomly while we are doing something else or looking for something entirely different. Our ability to recognise the value in the unexpected is a crucial part of any serendipitous experience. We often retroactively assign importance to unexpected events, weaving them into a narrative that makes sense of our lives.
Cultivating a serendipitous mindset means training ourselves to be more observant, curious, spontaneous, exploratory, reflective & responsive to the unexpected. Above all, being fully present in the moment. Serendipity thrives in cross pollination, when different beliefs, unique insights, people or fields collide. “There’ll always be serendipity involved in discovery” – Jeff Bezos.
The word serendipity was coined by an English writer Horace Walpole in 1754. It was inspired by the Persian fairy tale, The Three Princes of Serendip, where the princes made accidental discoveries through sharp observation. Many languages don’t have a direct translation of serendipity, making it one of those uniquely charming English words.
