S13E7 - Ikigai

Ikigai (生きがい) is a Japanese concept that translates to "a reason for being" or "a reason to live," referring to a sense of purpose or passion that makes life meaningful and enjoyable. It's a framework that helps individuals discover their unique purpose by aligning their passions, skills, and values with societal needs. 
Here's a more detailed explanation:
Finding Your Ikigai:
The concept encourages people to identify what they love doing, what they're good at, what the world needs, and what they can be paid for. 
Purpose and Passion:
Ikigai suggests that a life filled with purpose, passion, and a sense of contribution to the world leads to greater fulfillment and happiness. 
Ikigai and Longevity:
Some believe that finding and pursuing one's ikigai contributes to a longer, more meaningful life. 
Relevance to Western Cultures:
While rooted in Japanese culture, the concept of ikigai has resonated with people in Western cultures as a tool for self-discovery and purpose-driven living.
