In search of serendipity

The title might sound as an oxymoron, and it truly is, as serendipity is normally defined by: “Occurrence and development of events by chance in a happy or beneficial way…” 

What I mean is that I would like to believe that one can provoke serendipity, in other words, facilitate the phenomenon, so in surface at least, it might happen like a sudden, happy event that makes everyone delighted but wasn’t at all expected. 

Being at the right place at the right moment might be another way to define this unexpected, fortuitous event that could in many way be a “game changer” as we like to say these days. 

This being said though, I believe that serendipity exists at the a confluence between creativity, persistence and curiosity, and this is a pursuit that I’ve always been inclined to take, and still am, no matter how low and remote the odds are.
