Losing a job for many tends to end up a tragic event that changes ones life. Many people will be worried about Mortgage bills, car bills, and feeding the kids. I don't have a mortgage or kids, fortunately at this point of my life so I am going to be a little more optimistic then many about my recent hurdle of unemployment.
My objective of this hurdle is to find serendipity. I want to accidentally figure out what it is that I will be GREAT at in life, so that I can wake up every morning and be excited to start my day!

wikipedia definition
Serendipity is the effect by which one accidentally discovers something fortunate, especially while looking for something else entirely. The word has been voted as one of the ten English words that were hardest to translate in June 2004 by a British translation company.
However, due to its sociological use, the word has been imported into many other languages (Portuguese serendipicidade or serendipidade; French sérendipicité or sérendipité but also heureux hasard, "fortunate chance"; Italian serendipità; Dutch serendipiteit; German Serendipität; Swedish, Danish and Norwegian serendipitet; Romanian serendipitate).
