Ikigai

Inspired by an infographic I discovered on Pinterest.

Whats your reason for being?

What get you out of bed in the morning?

In Japan they call this Ikigai. It's the secret to a long, happy and fulfilling life.

In these times of uncertainty, finding your purpose or reason for being is more important that ever - knowing your purpose empowers you to be able to keep focus on the things that make you happy, even during self isolation.

It's the cross of 4 main areas:
What you love - your passion.
What the world needs - your mission.
What you are good at - your vocation.
What you get paid for - your profession.

Looking for fulfilment in your life, is surely a priority for all of us. Many of us struggle to find what we are 'meant' to do. I hope this chart will allow you to discover your own Ikigai or even start to think about what makes you happy? What excites you? What makes you loose track of time? What brings out the best in you?

I hope this begins you down the path of discovering how to inject your life with more of those activities.
