Ikigai (生き甲斐, lit. ’a reason for being’) is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living :)))
to tie one’s worth to one’s purpose is cruel but probably necessary,
the feeling of accomplishment very often acknowledged,
especially when the search for said satisfaction has been rigorous and painful,
ikigai stems from a sense of purpose, where in order to find it, moments of self-reflection are necessary,
what do you love?
what do you excel at?
what can you be paid for? (yes)
what does the world need?
this is the Japanese secret to a life of abounding happiness and longevity,
ikigai is not a one-day activity; but rather, a commitment to a life-long process of self discovery
so what is your ikigai?
