Looking for ... Myself

"And I still haven't found what I'm looking for"

Where are you?

You may not have realized this, but you're searching.
All your life you're searching.
The only question is what you're searching for.
Most people don't ask themselves this question, therefore they never figure out what they're really trying to get at. What they're living for. While many spend their days and nights looking for ways to entertain themselves and fill their time with fun and excitement, there are those who search on a religious level. They sense that there is something more to life than fun. More than entertainment. In their minds, they think that they are searching for Hashem, searching for Him in order to believe in Him.

A young man once went to visit a great chassidic rebbe. Anticipating his visit with this holy figure, he thought that he would finally get the answers to his questions.
"Why did you come here, my friend?" asked the Rebbe with a sweet and warm smile.
"I came here to find G-D!" came the enthusiastic reply.
"Is that it?" questioned the Rebbe. "For that you could have stayed home, because G-D is everywhere - even in your own home!"
Puzzled by the response, the young man asked, "So then why DID I come?"
The Rebbe answered softly, "To find yourself, my friend. To find yourself!"

Hashem is everywhere. Everywhere you look is another testimony to His existence and continued management of the world.
Everything.
Everywhere.
So what are we looking for?
Perhaps, we are not truly searching for Hashem, rather searching for ourselves. We need to clarify what our primary goals are in life. What we really want to aspire to. What we really need to do to get there.
Who are we? Where are we? Where am I going?
Such is the true search in life.
Enjoy the search.
May you have a successful journey!

"Hashem, please help me find the proper way. Please help me recognize and accomplish my goals!"
