There’s a certain peace that comes from knowing that life is not random. The Yiddish word *bashert* captures this perfectly—it refers to something that is meant to be, whether it’s the joys, challenges, or moments of growth that shape our lives. It’s the idea that every twist in our journey has been preordained, aligning with our destiny in ways that we may not fully grasp in the moment.
As we move through life, it becomes easier to look back and recognize that the seemingly disconnected pieces of our story were never really random. The paths we took, the people we met, and the challenges we faced were all part of a greater plan. We were supposed to be right where we were, in those moments, for reasons that may not have been clear at the time but were essential to our growth.
*Bashert* reminds us to embrace what is ahead with the wisdom that every step has purpose. It doesn’t mean the journey is always smooth—there will be hardships, frustrations, and heartaches. But it does mean that even those moments carry meaning, shaping who we are and preparing us for what’s to come.
‘What If’s’
When we trust that what is destined for us will inevitably find its way, it frees us from the pressure of forcing outcomes or endlessly worrying about the ‘what ifs.’ This sense of trust allows us to step back and embrace life as it unfolds, without the weight of constantly trying to control the unknown. By releasing the urge to manipulate every detail, we create space for peace, clarity, and acceptance, allowing life's natural rhythm to guide us forward.
In this state of openness, we can focus on fully living in the present, knowing that every moment, whether joyful or challenging, holds a deeper purpose. Each obstacle we face is an opportunity to grow, fortifying our strength and resilience. Likewise, every joy we experience is a precious gift, uniquely meant for us, reminding us that we are exactly where we need to be, at the right time.
Here’s to embracing life’s journey with open arms, accepting both the light and the dark, and trusting that *bashert*—our destiny—will yunfold exactly as it’s meant to. Whatever comes our way, it was always meant to be, and that truth is what makes the path forward not only bearable, but beautiful.
