Seek your own charism that has been purposed for you by God. Openness is the essential foundation of spiritual life, but what this means depends upon our charism.
If your charism is fire, then you must be open to consuming all the oxygen He puts before you and around you and allow Him to blow your sparks where He will.
If your charism is flower, then you must be open to blooming and allowing your fragrance to waft wherever His winds choose to take it. You must be open to the bees that will come for your pollen and fertilize you.
If your charism is rock, then you must be open to exposure. You must be barefaced to the wind and weather and sun that come upon you, and allow Him to build whatever He should choose upon you.
You must, through prayer, discover your charism(s), and allow Him to fashion your spiritual life accordingly. If a rock were to try to bloom, it would shatter to dust.
