Milestones with Susanna

Kaizen is a way of life philosophy built on the premise that every aspect of our life deserves to be constantly improved.

Translation

(”kai”) means “change” or “the action to correct”

(”zen”) means “good”

In the corporate world, it’s an efficiency and defect-proofing system which continually improves all functions of a business from manufacturing to management from the CEO to the assembly line workers. Kaizen was first implemented in several Japanese businesses after World War II.

Western philosophy may be summarised as, “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” The Kaizen philosophy is to “do it better, make it better, improve it even if it isn’t broken.”

Sometimes, no matter how positive our attitudes are in general, we can all fall victim to feeling trapped inside some negative feelings…especially about ourselves.

It’s all too easy to feel that we’re not “good enough”, or that those around us are happier and more successful than we are. At times, this can often lead us to feel and express anger…often directed at no one in particular, or at the first person or thing we come in contact with.

Maybe it’s just a little thing that sets us off, like someone cutting us off in traffic, or maybe making a joke at our expense…a joke that, in any other circumstance we would probably laugh at as well.
