Introduction to Ikigai

What is it?

Ikigai, which literally means "reason for being" in Japanese

It’s a concept that emphasizes the search for what gives meaning and satisfaction to our lives. It’s based on four key elements: what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs and what you can get paid for. Ikigai lies at the intersection of these four elements, and is where we find our “raison d’être”.

4. Find out what you can be paid for

Identify career opportunities or sectors of activity that match your skills and respond to world needs.

Putting Ikigai into Practice

Once you’ve identified these four elements, it’s time to bring them together to find your Ikigai, your life and career project that will bring you satisfaction and fulfillment.

Visualize your intersections

Draw a diagram with four circles representing the four elements of Ikigai. Identify the intersections between these circles to find clues about your Ikigai.

Experiment with different activities, projects or careers that seem to match your Ikigai. This will give you a better idea of what really suits you.

Be patient

Finding your Ikigai doesn’t happen overnight. Be patient and open to the opportunities that come your way.

Conclusion

Finding your dream project through Ikigai requires reflection, exploration and sometimes questioning. By combining your passions, skills, world needs and career opportunities, you can discover a project that will bring you satisfaction and happiness every day.
