Serendipity

The word serendipity derives its roots from a Persian fairy tale where the protagonists discover a lot of things accidentally while they were looking for something else desperately.
The beauty of this word lies in its emotional aspects.It is also defined by a happy accidental discovery.
More than the word itself the inherent messages conveyed by it is mesmerizing to most people.The way i see it, it talks about a person walking on his chosen path to achieve his dreams.I used the word dreams rather than aims or objectives or goals because we feel more satisfied when we make our dreams come true.The person meets a lot of people new and old.He talks about himself,his path and his perceived progress on it.He lends his ears to the travelers who want to share their happiness or disgrace which they are feeling from time to time.He observes his surroundings and how they change dynamically over the ages.He falls into love with his dreams more often than not depending on his desperation to convert them into reality.He compares his progress on his path with others from time to time and immediately regrets his actions too.He clearly seeks something from himself which could be a lot of things like confidence, belief,faith, and wisdom to accept failures.

Like every other person he often encounters rocks which he has to maneuver through.He crosses mountains and rivers with the agility and bravery he hasn't displayed earlier.He adjusts to all climates and keeps away all his emotions stopping him from moving forward.He faces the reality but lives in his dreams.He fights all the problems and distractions with great courage and valor which he never felt before.He often thinks about his decision about choosing this path.He sometimes succumbs to the people who follow a different path and achieve their holy grails.But he lives up to his decisions and integrates himself to carry on his pilgrimage.He learns how to stay loyal to himself.

Finally the time comes he when he reaches the footsteps of his dream woven-castles.He sees his beloved dream come true when he realizes the power of love for his passion.He thinks of all those people whom he saw and listened to.He thinks of the people who couldn't make it.He feels compassionate about them and prays for them as well.
Tears roll down his eyes when he touches and feels his dream coming true.He realizes the true feeling of happiness and satisfaction which he wasn't able to feel before.

After some time he starts forgetting his achievement and like every retired adventurer thinks of his journey.He realizes that he had accidentally discovered a lot of things which makes him feel proud of himself.

This is what I call the serendipity of our life's quest.
He discovered all that he had just heard,thought but never felt.He discovered all the divine feelings like love,confidence,belief,faith, wisdom, agility,courage,valor,braveness,loyalty ,integrity,compassion,happiness,satisfaction and finally success.These were something we have heard,appreciate and faked but never felt them in the true guilt free sense.These are accidental gifts for sure.
Success is the feeling he discovers at the end of the journey.
We observe but never realize the discoveries we mystify every moment of our lives.The amazing thing about this life's serendipity is we end up discovering more about ourselves more than anything else.
