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 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 you…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 are left to 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. Free to Love unconditionally, creating the life we were meant to enjoy and coming together as one. With every step towards our ending goal of happiness, we find ourselves having more sensational moments that can only be explained through synchronicity…or Syncrosensational.

 
The willingness to change will be the first step and shall be the driving force behind the journey. Our intent is what sets things in motion, referring back to our intent along the way shall keep us on course. Depending on our actions, it will either steer us on the path towards our intent or it will steer us on a detour to our ending goal. Give yourself a little wiggle room to make mistakes along the way. Nobody is perfect and we all make mistakes…learn from them. Aligning our actions as closely to our intended goal, will assure our success in attaining this goal.

 
When our dreams and reality collide, it is said that we have found The Way to happiness. We may trip or stumble and, as stated before, that is ok. We must accept ourselves for being imperfectly perfect in all our encounters. In doing so, we inadvertently find acceptance for the imperfections within other people. Without acceptance we would continually judge ourselves and others around us. If we are too busy judging others, we have no time for creating our own destiny. Fill your day with what you want in life…capture this moment!

 
If and when we do stumble, we must remain in gratitude. With gratitude in our hearts, we view challenging moments within our lives as stepping-stones towards our syncrosensational moments we so clearly desire. Everyday is a good time for sharing gratitude with a loved one, a friend or the creator of all existence. Whether the day is picture perfect or it is everything but, learn to see the silver-lining in every cloud…guaranteed it exists!

 
With gratitude in our hearts, we master our emotions…checking them at the door before entering the canvas of life. This awareness is the single most important guidance system that we will continue to call upon along our journey. Thich Nhat Hahn often refers to this as being in the present moment. We are here, in a given moment, experiencing this emotion or that emotion. These emotions arise, but do not have to control us. Instead use them to your advantage only, if this is not possible…kindly ask your emotions to take a back seat. With awareness comes a desire of remaining in balance. For those enlightened already, they know what this means.

 
There comes a time in our journey that we just don’t feel right, almost as if we were off balance. Finding balance becomes our number one priority. Through various techniques, which can be found throughout our traditions or even modern-day self-help texts, we can find techniques for cleansing mind, body and spirit…returning back to balance. Returning to balance, we find it easier to check our emotions at the door of the Canvas. Note: if we are not in harmony within ourselves, how can we support harmony within our families? get in balance so that you can better serve the loved ones around you.

 
If you have found yourself practicing these steps for some time now, chances are they have created positive habits within your life. With these positive shift, we find ourselves at a place of unconditional Love. While the majority of society will declare unconditional Love is not possible, challenge them and say yes it is. Following this path, and other paths for that matter, with our whole heart and soul, and with the intent of finding peace within, we shall find unconditional Love. While the majority follows the path of majority, dare to cut a new path into your life…see what happens!

 
We have just followed a modern-day Eightfold path. Twenty-five hundred years ago, Siddhārtha Gautama dared to challenge authorities, showing others how to attain enlightenment. Nothing has changed from then to now, it is open for exploration at any time…are you willing to take the necessary steps towards enlightenment? Why not?
Traveling the eightfold path we will find ourselves at our ending goal…pure happiness. Our every encounters will be more enjoyable and our days will just seem to be syncrosensational all the time. We shall be in awe by the mighty Canvas that calls our names. Go now…live a life that was intended…live a syncrosensational life.
