Ikigai (𝘚𝘰𝘧𝘵 #6)

These shapes tell a story of your Ikigai and how it moves. Essentially, this Japanese word means the reason you get up in the morning.

4 areas of Ikigai:

• What you love (Passion and Mission)
• What you are good at (Passion and Profession)
• What you can be paid for (Profession and Vocation)
• What the world needs (Mission and Vocation)

Finding the balance, or at least trying not to focus on only one area is important.

I'm not one to use a Japanese title, being that I don't speak Japanese - but after I had one of the most profound synchronicities revealing this word to me, I had to run with it! Interesting philosophy indeed.
