The origin of the word “serendipity” is suggested to have from a 1754 fairy tale titled The Three Princes of Serendip, by Horace Walpole. In the story, the heroes ‘were always making discoveries, by accidents and sagacity, of things they were not in quest of’.

Serendipity is often described as being aware of what you’re looking for so you can see when the opportunities present themselves.
Are you aware of the opportunities, are you opening yourself up to the breadcrumbs that are put down?
