B'shert is a predestined path shaped by a combination of God's will and our own receptivity to opportunity, which will, during our lifetime, take us in directions not initially seen or anticipated.

An ancient Hungarian proverb . . . provides a metaphor for understanding the mystical concept of B'shert. "God gives every bird a worm. He just doesn't throw it into the nest."
