Be honest, how many times have you questioned the meaning of life, or what your place is in this world?
It’s OK if it’s a lot! It’s an honest, human question, being the intelligent, curious creatures we are. I encourage it!
But there’s also beauty in the fact that we don’t have that one answer or reason for living. Because if we did, it would be boring. We’d all be living only for that one thing and paradoxically, there’d be no point.
So I’ve learned to not get caught up in trying to find that one answer. That’s only going to spiral. Instead, I’ve adjusted my energy to focus on creating my own answer and I’m doing that with the philosophy of ikigai.
Ikigai — Your reason for being
I recently found this Japanese philosophy and I’ve been telling everyone about it!
The idea is that everyone has their own reason for being and it’s revealed at the intersection between 4 pillars: your passion, your mission, your vocation, and your profession.
When you are doing something that you’re good at, you love doing it, the world needs it and is paying you…
