What is Your Ikigai?
Hello dear friends-
Recently, I read that Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being“. The word refers to having a direction or purpose in life, that which makes one’s life worthwhile, and towards which an individual takes intentional actions giving them satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life.
It was suggested that I write down ideas that apply to each of my life areas so that I may get closer to my Ikigai.
- Passion – What do you LOVE?
- Mission – What do you believe the world NEEDS?
- Vocation – What can you get PAID for?
- Profession – What are you really GOOD at?
As we ponder our new year ahead, I encourage you to take some time and do the same. And, if you’d like to share, I’d really like to hear about your Ikigai.
