What is Ikigai?

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a Japanese concept that translates to “a reason for being.” It’s the convergence of four essential elements:

1. Your Passion (What you love)
2. Your Mission (What the world needs)
3. Your Vocation (What you can be paid for)
4. Your Profession (What you’re good at)

When you discover your Ikigai, you find a harmonious balance that leads to a more purposeful and joyful existence.
