| Singing Pity Pity me but "Oh The Irony". |
I am thinking about Serendipity and it's place in my life. Someone said that there is no such thing as coincidence.
I know that goal setting is supposed to be an important part of success yet I am quite lax in this regard. I rarely make lists and the lists that I do make often sit in files or get lost in the clutter as I ignore my own advice. Isn't that what a list is: A collection of bits of advice put into one place? Clean desk, sweep floor, buy toothpicks, get a role in a show?
It's the last one that has me thinking. I never wrote this down. I didn't go looking for a role in a Gilbert and Sullivan show. I didn't even know "HMS Pinafore" before last October. Now I'm having a fantastic time playing "Raif Rackstraw". My life has been changed by something that I never even sought out. It's changed because of all the little gestalts and epiphanies that I am having over the course of the show. I am "realizing" myself and it is a great adventure. But it was Serendipity that brought me here.
So not a coincidence? Is it a blessing visited upon me? Yes, a blessing but from where? Or what? See, now I'm into the metaphysical. Thoughts that come and go.
Maybe I'll go now and make a list. I hope that it doesn't prevent Serendipity but it might help whatever force or phenomenon that is at work here and that insists on making my life better and better.
