What is my Ikigai?

Today I would like to share some information about “My Ikigai”, This Blog is contain My personal story. The Aim of this article is every one should to Think their Life purpose. It makes your life more Happy and Useful. First time I heard this “Ikigai” word in a Tech Talk Session, that session Delivered by Dr.Nayanapriya Gunawardhana(Former General Manager, Supply Chain Excellence | Brandix — Sri Lanka). After the session I wanted to know “What is my Ikigai ?”.

What is Ikigai?

Philosophers have been deliberating over constructs that explain the pursuit of happiness and the meaning of life for centuries. Ikigai is one thought to combine the Japanese words ikiru, meaning “to live”, and kai, meaning “the sensation of what hopes for”. Together these definitions create “a reason to live” or having a life purpose.

We all strive for satisfaction and purpose in our lives. Your ikigai is your reason for jumping out of bed in the morning, what motivates you to revel in and appreciate life every day.

Ikigai is a beneficial practice in career growth because like your own passions and needs, and what the world needs — the meditation of ikigai grows and changes with you. There’s not necessarily an end to your ikigai practice, it’s an ongoing journey.

How to find your Ikigai?

According to Japanese culture, your ikigai lies at the centre of four interconnecting circles:

• Mission: What you love
• Vocation: What the world needs
• Profession: What you can get paid for
• Passion: What you are good at

Each of these elements helps contribute to your happiness, health, finances and intellectual pursuit; all four are crucial for you to find “the reason to wake up in the morning.”

If you are really interested in having an ikigai, then your study options should rely on much more than only having a career (Vocation) or getting paid (Profession). At the same time, Mission and Passion aren’t enough to sustain you financially if you don’t know how to turn it into a paying job.
