Ikigai (ηγη²ζ) is a Japanese concept that roughly means βa reason for beingβ or βthe thing that gets you out of bed in the morning.β
It brings together four key elements:
1. What you love (passion)
2. What you are good at (vocation)
3. What the world needs (mission)
4. What you can be paid for (profession)
Your ikigai is found where all four areas overlap. The idea is that when you discover your ikigai, you experience a deep sense of fulfillment, purpose, and happiness. πΈ
