Ikigai: Discover Your Reason for Being

Ikigai is the Japanese term that means “reason for being.” It’s your reason for living, for getting up in the morning. I share how ikigai has added more to my life and will do the same for you.

In this episode, I refer to the article, Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Joyful Life. I also talk about these four questions for you to consider as you deepen your reason for being:

Mission + Vocation = What does the world need from me?
Vocation + Profession = What can I do that I will get paid for?
Profession + Passion = What are you good at?
Passion + Mission = What do you love?

As you can probably see, there is a general theme in that all four questions and four buckets merge together to form your personal ikigai.
