Serendipity

Things don’t always work out the way we would like them to, but sometimes they deviate for the better. I came across the word ‘serendipity’ while browsing a list of movies a few years ago and picked the movie out of curiosity. The movie sucked and was soon forgotten, but the concept of serendipity keeps lingering in my mind.  

Well, I had no intention to read my horoscope today– I merely intended to quickly look something up before I continue with my nearly finished paper. But I hit the wrong place and was instantly struck by the words there:

Learning about diverse topics is usually fun for you, but today is a day to focus on one thing. Instead of continuing to expand your knowledge on this, that and the other thing, pick one area and stick with it! Too much movement back and forth between topics is diluting any educational value you think you are gaining. Right now you need to finish something. Once you put the period at the end of the final sentence, you can feel free to move on — but not until then!

Wow, the big universe is watching me???
