Happy Accidents

Serendipity

What people call serendipity sometimes is just having your eyes open.”
Jose Manuel Barroso

Serendipity is defined as “an occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way.” In other words, a happy accident. I believe there's more to it than that. I think intention plays an important role. When we hold a clear intention, the stars of serendipity align.

Back in the day, when I studied folks like Barbara Brennan, Caroline Myss, Joan Borysenko, Deepak Chopra and the other body-mind pioneers, I learned such notions as, “energy follows intention,” and “when you believe it, you will see it.” And I have to say, those teachings have stuck with me. When we are clear in our own minds about what we want, what we are looking for, not only do we set the stage for serendipity, but we draw it to us energetically.

Being intentional directs our own behavior as well—we begin actively to seek, to put out feelers, to research, and to ponder a great deal about exactly how something might come to be. We develop a picture of it, we can see it, if only in our mind's eye. All these steps are energetic pathways; they pave the way for an idea to manifest in the real world.

If there is something you truly want, hold it closely in your heart and mind. Think about it, form an image, give it life. And then, keep your eyes open for the universe to line up behind you. Serendipity begins with you.
