Exactly!
When I heard I was moving to Israel it hurt, it hurt so much.
But without that hurt I would be a completely different person!!!! HaShem is pushing you to the path Y-O-U need, not your cousin/friend/sister/ needs, what YOU NEED!!!!!!
Best tip in the W-O-R-L-D:
Don’t daven to get in to a certain seminary/high school. I KNOW it is SOOOOO tempting to. BUT, who knows best?
HASHEM, RIGHT?
At some point I just started davening like this:
“Hashem, I REALLLY WANT __________ B-U-T, if not getting that is what’s best for me, or to make the future me I need something else, that is what I truly want. So please, give me what I need, you know what’s best, not me”
I know it’s hard…but you will realize davening like that feels so good, and afterwords alot of times you can see what HaShem chose was best!!!!!
