What is your Ikigai?
Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept that essentially means "a reason for being." It's the reason you get up in the morning, a sense of purpose and fulfillment that brings you joy and satisfaction. It's often represented as the intersection of four fundamental questions: What do you LOVE? (Your Passion) What are you GOOD AT? (Your Vocation) What does the WORLD NEED? (Your Mission) What can you be PAID FOR? (Your Profession) Your Ikigai is the sweet spot where all four of these areas overlap
