Kaizen for Personal Development

Do not fall into this trap, for it gets snugger and more strangling the more we fidget in its grasp. Keeping an open (but well-trained mind) at all times is just good mental hygiene. The third facet of openness is that of spiritual openness - being open to the Divine everywhere and at anytime, being capable of losing yourself in the embrace of spiritual ecstasy and being able to see the core of the Divine in the mundane or even the profane around us. When you are spiritually open, you can feel the hand of God in the light streaming through a stained glass masterpiece - or through a broken and dirty window in a bullet-riddled flophouse. You can recognize the face of the Creator in the beatific smile of a child - or in the haggard and degraded grimace of a drunk in an alley.

You can embrace the Divine will in a sudden unexpected boon - and in the face of unrelenting tragedy and inescapable pain. The Spirit is everywhere - there is no place (and no face) where God is not. All such pretensions to the contrary are simply the artifacts of the limited and poorly attuned human mind unable to make that last final leap of faith.Where are you open in your life? Where are you closing off or filtering life? Open your life to all that it has to offer and you will trade in a so-so life of safe and predictable flatness for a ride on the thrills-and-spills roller coaster of a truly great life.Laughter, humor, a lighthearted sense of being - all of these are an important part of a well-balanced breakfast, er, life.
