The Journey of Hospitality
Creating a culture of true generosity and hospitality does not happen easily, naturally, automatically or quickly. It's a journey we must walk - no short cuts. Ho'okipa is the sixth of nineteen values. To focus on one value without all that precedes will not bring all the desired results. Therefore, we must take five steps before we meet Ho'okipa. 1. Aloha - unconditional love 2. Ho'ohana - passionate work with the intent to bring meaning 3. 'Imi ola - seek to be the best you can be 4. Ho'omau - perseverance and persistence to make that which is good to last 5. Kulia i ka nu‘u - the value of achievement. The literal translation for Kulia i ka nu‘u is "strive to reach the summit." Each of these initial values prepares the way for true generosity and hospitality. During the next few posts, we'll look at each and how one blends and supports the next. Are you ready for this journey of "road to Hana" twists and turns? Ready or not, let's begin!
