‘There’ is no better than ‘Here’

When your ‘there’ has become ‘here’, you will simply obtain another ‘there’ that will again look better than ‘here’.

If there’s one thing we humans are good at, it’s wanting things. We crave to be smarter, more attractive, and wealthier. We want to buy all the things and travel to all the places, and it’s no surprise that our wanting never stops.

Yet over the last few years, we’ve learned having, doing, or seeing more, doesn’t actually mean we’ll be happier. It’s about being happy with what you have and allowing anything else to be a bonus.

Shidduch – the word is a derivative from the Aramaic word “Shadach,” which means ‘to rest’ or ‘to experience tranquility.’

When we are constantly deprived of something we are thirsty for, we tend to lose confidence completely. We become anxious about the possibility that our wishes might never be fulfilled. When we feel anxious, it’s more difficult to remain hopeful. But when dealing with something entirely out of our control, the best thing to do is to remain open, with all our senses, and to sideline our intentions. This doesn’t mean we must suddenly believe in fate or take the first option available. It means we should make room for the unexpected, which is usually around the corner.

By doing so, we also have a chance to refocus our attention on the present and what makes us stronger and happier on our own. Priorities will align better too.
