Your Purpose: Ikigai

~the things that get you up in the morning~

The Japanese concept "Ikigai" roughly translates to "purpose in life" or "reason for being." Ikigai represents four different elements intersecting: what you love, your strength, what you can be paid for, and what the world needs. Once you are able to figure out your passion, mission, profession, and vocation, you are equipped to find out your Ikigai.

As it relates to a relationship with the self, Ikigai promotes self-discovery and introspection. It encourages one to explore their innermost desires, values, and strengths, leading to a more in depth understanding of your identity and what truly matters to you. If you are able to align your life with your individual Ikigai, you can cultivate a sense of fulfillment, harmony, and authenticity within yourself. Living according to your Ikigai is about living in accordance with your vales, pursing your passion, and making a positive, lasting impact on the world.
