Ikigai is a Japanese word that translates to “a sense of life” or “a reason for being” or “a reason for living.”
For some this means following your passions.
However, it’s deeper than simply following what lights you up. It is a healthy passion that gets you going every morning.
Your Ikigai must be sustainable. It’s about finding a balance between what you love, what you care about, what the world needs and how you can earn a living.
I invite you to take time to find your Ikigai. Think about your sense of purpose. Think about the needs of others. Understand that your Ikigai will be uniquely yours. It is about the life you are meant to lead.
Allow your Ikigai to be your compass and guide you through your days. There you will find satisfaction and joy.
