How Serendipity Changes Lives

Well, serendipity means the things occurring unknowingly with or without our knowledge ends up with positive results. Our lives are made up of amazing moments, chance encounters, and serendipitous occurrences, but we are not always astute enough to recognize them when they happen. But every once in a while we are presented with a moment so spectacular in its profundity that we cannot help but we aware of the magnitude of the gift we have been obtained.

Nothing happens by coincidence, happy accidents or fortunate mistakes are for me the clearest way of discovering what life is wanting to tell you and how desperate the universe is to make you live a soul-shaking experience. Serendipity has changed my life and my approach to how I find meaning into my everyday life. There is always a surprise, a useful incident.

In general, we all claim that luck matters a lot, where basically luck is nothing but another form of serendipity, recently when I was in a dilemma of doing post-graduation or doing a job, postgraduation has got more weightage than a job, so by thinking to do in a well-reputed college, ranking matters a lot but due to having optimal ranking in the entrance test I was decided that MS Ramaiah might not be in my options but at the time of allotment through Karnataka Examination Authority in the first round as expected, I got Mysore college by the name JSS Institute –Material Science and Engineering, but hoping for the best college I tried in the Second round but fortunately, this time I changed all the college options overnight thinking that serendipity might take place, believing that I waited for the couple of weeks where totally my destination o education has been completely changed just by allocation of one result, that too from a course of Metallurgist to an Industrial Engineer. 

Finally, my perspective of life has been gradually changed just by one result which occurred serendipity. Due to this my dream of studying in a reputed institute has been fulfilled where I was thinking of it doesn’t occur in my life, where due to serendipity it has been fulfilled leading to getting a good education, facilities and my vision of life has been changed drastically, where myself has been guided in a way of getting success in life, by implementing various disciplinary factors which are needed to me have been thought through this institution, the valued course has been optioned by me through serendipity, increasing the value of my aims in life, through this I believed that anything can happen at any time either by knowingly or Unknowingly in our life.

This is the situation that occurred in life recently, and it has changed my life’s picture in a complete a way where sarcastically I wondered how these things happen to me, still, I’m unable to conclude whether this incident occurred to me either by intentionally or in an unintentionally I’ve got good in my life and a valuable thing to me.
