“I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be” -Douglas Adams
I watched the movie “Serendipity” with John Cusack and Kate Beckinsale.The first time I watched it I didn’t see how relative it is to my own life. There are many events that happen in the movie that are so much like the way I live and probably for many of you reading this.
Serendipity comes from the word Serendip the Arabic name for Sri Lanka
The fairy tale, called” The Three Princes of Serendip” tells a story of their highness’s travels, who were always making discoveries by accident and sagacity, of things which they were not in quest of.(Thank-you Wikipedia)
Serendipity is a way for our hearts desire to come to us and a perfect way to stay balanced about desires and prayers. Letting them go and sending them out into the universe then allowing them to come to us in the right time. As Sandra Ann Taylor mentions in her book 28 Days to a Magnetic Life,”by creating a daily intention of optimism you’re finally able to let go of doubt and shift your consciousness to hope and trust, you’ll find yourself moving comfortable and confidently in to direction of your goals.The optimistic energy will be greatly accelerated.Whenever you catch yourself longing for something you can say to yourself, “that would be nice but I don’t need that right now to be happy.”
Serendipity I believe is optimism, trust, and a lot of preparedness. I think there are an abundance of serendipitous moments, yet we can pass them up because we are not paying attention.I love the beginning of the movie where John Cusack (Jonathon)meets Kate Beckinsale(Sara) at a department store while buying gloves.They have a conversation that leads to coffee at a restaurant called of coarse, “Serendipity.” Although they are both in relationships they are not so happy about, they take this chance.I wondered how many of us would do this?
Luck is a crossroad where preparation and opportunity meet.
The movie gets more interesting when Sara gives her phone number to John and the wind blows it away leaving them to wonder if this is this fate. He then gives her his phone number on a dollar bill and she uses it to buy mints and told him if this bill comes back to me then we know this is fate.Later in the movie she discovers the dollar bill with his phone number on an airplane through the flight attendant.Keep in mind all along he had been trying to find her.I think the movie emphasizes these magical moments to fill our hearts and souls with hope and possibility.
You may have read that some of the most enlightened gurus manifest things simply by thinking them into there awareness.
My daughter had a dream recently that she was thinking of a small furry animal and then the it appeared in her hands. Later that week she did receive something she wanted for a long time.It came unexpectedly! She asked for it and then received it.
Many unexpected and lucky events happen in Serendipity that romance our souls and show us how playful the universe is. I believe this is what the child inside needs to wake up to our innocence. We trusted this much as children,yet as adults we can becomes dry, dull and relentless with our daily lifestyles.Our lives can be like the actors in the movies we pay to see. I believe that movies are another level of awareness helping us see that our daily lives can be rewarding with purpose,synchronicity, and luck.Isn’t that why we go to the movies? To renew our souls and relax for a short while.
Alter your thoughts a small amount each day and add some trust along and lightheartedness and I imagine you will see some serendipitous moments appear.After all, we are all wizards and have the ability to believe in the magic around us.
Namaste,
Deborah
