One of my friend once asked me, do you believe in coincidence? I said no, I think everything is well planned. i believe God is exist and He is the one who rules. Our life is not a coincidence, our life was designed from the time we were existed in our mother’s womb. Every obstacles I’ve been through, every problems I’ve been faced, every tears and laughters, it’s all designed to make us better somehow. if our life is consist of one coincidence to another coincidence, how great that coincidence must be!
But there is one kind of coincidence that I love, it is calledserendipity. I heard the word the first time from a movie played by Kate Beckingsale and John Cusack with the same word as the title. This movie has its own charm to me. It’s funny and super romantic. I love the film’s setting which in Rockefeller Center, NYC - my first priority place to go if I have any chance to go anywhere I like. But what I love the most from this film is how the universe conspired to meet two person from different continents in one significant place and make them feel something and then dare to chase something they believe. As you see, Jonathan dare to break up with his fiancée, Sara on the other side do the same thing. Sara fly back from London to New York to find her “one night romance”, and so do Jonathan. But it’s all about timing. They finally meet in Rockefeller Center, in the time they almost feel like giving up.
Well, I know some ppl think it’s cliche, but for me it’s the way the whole universe tells you that you’re meant to be together..at least at that very moment.
And here are my favorite lines from the movie:
Dean: Jonathan Trager, prominent television producer for ESPN, died last night from complications of losing his soul mate and his fiancee. He was 35 years old. Soft-spoken and obsessive, Trager never looked the part of a hopeless romantic. But, in the final days of his life, he revealed an unknown side of his psyche. This hidden quasi-Jungian persona surfaced during the Agatha Christie-like pursuit of his long reputed soul mate, a woman whom he only spent a few precious hours with. Sadly, the protracted search ended late Saturday night in complete and utter failure. Yet even in certain defeat, the courageous Trager secretly clung to the belief that life is not merely a series of meaningless accidents or coincidences. Uh-uh. But rather, its a tapestry of events that culminate in an exquisite, sublime plan. Asked about the loss of his dear friend, Dean Kansky, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author and executive editor of the New York Times, described Jonathan as a changed man in the last days of his life. “Things were clearer for him,” Kansky noted. Ultimately Jonathan concluded that if we are to live life in harmony with the universe, we must all possess a powerful faith in what the ancients used to call “fatum”, what we currently refer to as destiny.
Jonathan: Let’s go do something.
Sara: Alright, what d’ya wanna do?
Jonathan: I don’t care.
Sara: Alright, come on.
Jonathan: This is the ultimate blend to drink. Howd you find thisplace?
Sara: I first came in because of the name: Serendipity. Its one ofmy favorite words
Jonathan: It is? Why?
Sara: Its such a nice sounding word for what it means: a fortunateaccident.
And this is its soundtrack you must check out (especially the lyric):
I believe in destiny. It will lead us to meet the exact right person, in the right time, in the right place, in the right moment,….serendipity.
What you need to know about the past is that no matter what has happened, it has all worked out together to bring you to this very moment. And this is the moment you can choose to make everything new. Right now.
