A little bit of Luck

Feeling lucky? Well maybe you will stubble across this word:
Serendipity
This word has its complexity in not the obscurity of it but finding a way to bring it into your quotidian vernacular. The meaning of the word is what I feel throws most people off as it is an aptitude for good fortune or luck. Yet you can not merely substitute serendipity into any sentence containing lucky or fortuitous. However, it does work in times where someone is having luck, such as 'he had the serendipity to find a four-leafed clover'.
So serendipity is not something you can have it is some thing you are.
Thus I ask you to go forth and be your very most serendipitous selves.
