Today, we have a special episode where we explore how ikigai, the Japanese concept of finding purpose and joy in life, can guide you on your path to fulfillment. Ikigai is a combination of the Japanese words "iki" meaning "life" and "gai" meaning "worth" or "value." It represents that which gets you out of bed in the morning and keeps you going. Research has shown that embracing ikigai can lead to a longer, more purposeful life. It is the sweet spot where your personal fulfillment and joy align with making a positive impact on the world around you.
