Here we are again, approaching the end of another year. In retrospect, did the year progress as you expected? Often times, we consider the loss of control over our plans a detrimental force that makes us feel angry, anxious, stress-out and for the most part, like the sky is falling on us.

I find that very few things in our lives go according to plan. Yet, it¡¯s a nominal price we pay for the rich experiences that follow after our preceded intentions, take for example, the notion of ¡®serendipity¡¯. The 18th century litterateur Horace Walpole coined the word ¡®serendipity¡¯, which means the development of occurring events by chance in a beneficial way; in other words, happy accidents or strokes of good luck.

We don¡¯t have to look far, especially during this winter season, to realize that serendipitous events can present themselves when our plans do not work out. In fact, such a twist of fate happened to me at the beginning of this year.

In January, I was supposed to go to Pocheon¡¯s Dongjangkun Festival with a Korean friend of mine. I should have realized that things were not going to go according to plan when my friend called at the last minute and said she couldn¡¯t make it, but I went anyways.

On the way to the festival, the bus I was riding broke down and we had to wait for another bus to rescue us. While waiting for the next bus, I met a few people who wanted to try out their English skills with me. When I arrived at Baegun Valley, the snow started to really come down, almost blizzard like conditions.

Although I was dressed for the occasion, after all I¡¯m used to Canadian winters, I found myself wondering if I made a wise choice and if something else negative was going to happen.

Was the sky going to continually fall on me? While I was making my way around the valley¡¯s scenery, I heard some people ahead of me. All of a sudden, there was a loud scream, so I quickly ran ahead only to discover one of the people had fallen through the ice in a shallow bed of the river. I assisted them in getting out of the water. It turned out to be one of the people I met on the bus.

I gave him a pair of extra socks I had so his feet would be warm. For my kind act, they invited me to spend the rest of the day eating, drinking, and exchanging stories. To make a long story short, I had one of the best days ever and the people I met are still my friends today. What could have been a terrible experience turned out to be a wonderful serendipitous event.

So, as we approach the end of another year, let us examine our lives and remember that often times when we feel stressed and our life does not always go according to plan, it¡¯s our state of mind that needs adjustment. In fact, we can take comfort from a Korean proverb: ¡°Even if the sky falls on you, there is a hole from which you can escape.
