Hotels, a lot of times I underappreciated their value in terms of experiencing new places and transacting business. They definitely are home away from home. They give you a sense of security that in a foreign land you have a place to lie and rest, keep your belongings, and a temporary place to go “home” to.

During peak season of most popular vacation cities and areas these hotels get full booked. You get to see the disappointing “no vacancy” sign. Hotels during these times are finite resources. They have reached their limit and to those looking to book they have no value.

In reality hotels only have limited number of rooms and so does everything in the physical world. But in terms of getting better there is no such thing as maximum capacity. We can never say I have improved and have reached my limit.

We can always become our better version even in small increments, not necessarily revolutionary. We can not out-improve ourselves because as long as we live we can always be better.

That brings me back to this image that I always have a mental picture when I am in a hotel lobby during  my travels for business or leisure; that if my life is a hotel, it is a hotel that has nothing to do with the sign “no vacancy”. My hotel will always have a room; if all the rooms with numbers have already been occupied there’s this room that will always be available to accommodate, it is called “room for improvement”.
