Stepping Into The Extraordinary

With each new day we have a choice to live as authentically as we can, ignoring the beliefs of old. Stepping into the new, creating the life we were meant to enjoy and accepting beliefs of a new era.

The first step towards happiness is often the most difficult, for we cannot let go of our old beliefs. Let go now…witness the shift towards happiness. Once the first step is taken, the taste of freedom shall be yours and you will not go back to the way you were. The next step towards happiness is easier, the next even easier…and so on.

With a new outlook on life, everything will taste sweeter, smell better and you will feel freer than ever before. Listen to the voice within…it is saying, “Now is the Time.” Take the step towards happiness and one day you will declare “Ani Po.”

(*Ani Po is Hebrew for “I Am Here”)

Stepping into the Canvas is about taking the first steps into the Canvas of Life. It is said that God is the Creator and nature is His Canvas. In a world of technologies, distractions and light-speed evolution, we remain in darkness. Truth is laid before us, falsely, by our collective whole.

You are invited to step out of the ordinary and into the extraordinary. We are not meant to be suppressed and controlled, fearful and miserable, alone and scared, hateful and destructive. No. Instead we are meant to be free. Free to Love unconditionally, creating the life we were meant to enjoy. Instead of divide and conquer, we shall come together as one.

It is time to make a choice: stay in misery or choose a path of happiness; listen to the voice within or listen to the others without; move towards an active side of infinity or stay on the inactive list; accept positivity or remain in negative beliefs. Everything is merely a choice and every choice needs action.

Imagine, for a moment, that the Creator has given you a clean Canvas to paint whatever you desire. What would be on this painting? This is your opportunity to paint The Best You Now…grab the brush and start painting already. You know what you want!

If you can think it, you can create it. If you can create it, you can paint it. If you can paint it, your dreams will come true. If you make a mistake on this Canvas, allow yourself to paint over or scrape away the excess. The only rule of painting is to apply your whole Heart and Soul when approaching the Canvas of Life. Applying this simple rule…dormant forces shall come alive.

Stepping Into The Canvas as a Work in Progress, allowing colors to be misused, strokes to be unorthodox and an occasional redo to take place. The Canvas of Life is there to teach us we are not perfect and in our imperfections we are. With every mistake, we are presented a new opportunity to make it right. Master the painting, master the self.

Breakfast With a Muslim

Intrigued by the many differences we share as humans, let’s explore the similarities of my Brothers and Sisters. We wear different clothing, we have different skin, we have different sexual preferences and we have varying religious beliefs. While on the surface we seem to be different, beneath the many layers we are the same.

While at first glance we seem different , I assure you we are not. We all think that we are superior than the next, but I assure you we are not. We all think that our faith is the One, but I assure you we are not. It is not until we put down the weapons of our religions, that we shall come together as One. Watch our children just for a day…do they fight over their biological father? Then why should we as adults, fight over our Heavenly Father.

As a father, it would break my heart to see my flesh and blood fighting over me. Now amplify this…how would Our Father like it if we continued to fight? I am certain it would break His Heart.

This morning, I connected with a good friend. She taught me something very special…when we put down our beliefs for one moment, we accept each other as One. When we meet at the Level of Love, all labels dissolved. After our conversation, I wrote this poem…I hope you enjoy it…

Today breakfast,
With a Muslim.
We did not point fingers,
We did not hate.
All we spoke,
Was pure Love.

Yesterday Breakfast,
With a Jew.
We did not point fingers,
We did not hate.
All we spoke,
Was pure Love.

Another Breakfast,
With a Christian.
We did not point fingers,
We did not hate.
All we spoke,
Was pure Love.

Breakfast,
With a Buddhist.
We did not point fingers,
We did not hate.
In vastness,
We did nothing.

Hope to have breakfast,
With a Hindu.
We shall not point fingers,
we shall not hate.
All that shall be spoken,
Pure Love.

Tomorrow Breakfast,
With Love.
I am full now,
Need nothing else to eat.

When we come together in Love, there is no need for explanation of where we have been, no explanation of beliefs, and no explanation of where we are going. Return to our Churches, our Temples or our Mosques in the name of Love, only to have this message reflect out once again.

Stepping into the Canvas as One, dropping swords of anger and spears of hate. Coming together in Love, sweet embracing Love…no longer living in fear of darkness, for Light shall be ours once more. Removing the labels of our flesh, we are left with our naked souls.
