Definition of Ikigai:
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being.’ ‘Iki’ in Japanese means ‘life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.
The westernized version:
The Westernised version of ikigai says you’ve found your dream career when your career includes these four qualities:
What you love.
What you’re good at.
What you can be paid for.
What the world needs.
Great life eh?
Hard work you’d love and getting paid for it.
I hope you Ikigai the shit out of life.
I made a simple video of it here.
