Spiritual Hospitality

As I was looking at the landscape artist's proposal for renewing our landscape around the hotel and to upgrade the gardens, suddendly a thought struck me. Why do guests stay in 5 star hotels ? They want a 'home away from home' , a clean place, a posh ambience and crisp service. Is that all ? They can choose to stay any other hotel then ,why choose a 5 star internationally branded hotel. Maybe , they are looking at good food served with a smile and friendly people also. So what else ? Every hotel worth its buck provides that. How can a hotel be different and how can it leave an impression on the guest -like a real WOW experience.

This is a wonderful pyramid I use to plan my life goals many times . Every once in a 8 year period which is the so called significant 'installments' of life ( 8yrs, 16 yrs, 24 yrs, 32 yrs,40 yrs and so on) you are stuck without a plan and you are clueless where you are heading ,what are you doing and actually what is the purpose of everything. Don't get me wrong -I am far from being philosophical or idealistic but I always seem to have the inquisitive twist of a conscience which urges me to reach the deepest levels and make everything I do and stand for meaningful, at least for me-which is most important ! Aristotle said "happiness depends on ourselves". Nothing can be more true. Happiness is a choice you are making every time. Likewise, living a life plan is a choice. The other choice is to 'ride the wave' and take it as events are offering you. "The greatest revolution in our generation is the discovery that human beings , by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives"- William James .
