Ikigai

I have become enthralled by Japanese philosophy as of late, and one of the key concepts that keeps presenting itself is Ikigai.

Ikigai can be loosely defined as purpose - a reason for living.

The idea is that if you can find and practice your Ikigai, you will live a happier and more fulfilled life.

It is your why - your purpose in life.

Again, the following quote is brought to mind:

"In work, do what you love. In family time, be completely present." - Lao Tzu
