How to find your Ikigai (life’s purpose & meaning)

Hello lovely Lemonade🍋!

Have you ever heard the word “IKIGAI”?

Do you know what does it mean?

Ikigai is a Japanese word that means “a reason for being”.

Simply said, Ikigai is the REASON or PURPOSE why we are living.

Actually, it is a concept that originates from Okinawa, Japan.

It is said that Okinawa’s folks live a longer life and is content for their lives.

They have a reason and purpose that makes them wake up in the morning.

You may ask, how do we want to know OUR OWN Ikigai?

How do we find it?

Here are the ways to find our own ikigai based from the concept of Ikigai itself.

This concept is based from the book “How to Ikigai: Lessons for Finding Happiness and Living Your Life’s Purpose written by Tim Tamashiro.

How to find your Ikigai:

1.     Do what you love

2.     Do what you’re good at

3.     What the world needs (from YOU)

4.     Seek/do what you can be paid for

The key of Ikigai is to know your passion, the kind of thing that lift up your spirit and enthusiasm.

As of me, my Ikigai is being in bookstagram community and creating content related to books.

It gives me a sense of purpose and meaning.

Reading and creating bookish content is something that I love to do and it is something that I’m good at.

Have you found your Ikigai?

What are the things in your life that gives you meaning or purpose?
