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.
