‘In the western world we are being taught we all have an Ikigai and we need to search for it because it’s hidden deep within us’

Julie explains how the concept of Ikigai – our life worth and life value, the purpose of life and the purpose why we do what we do can be woven successfully throughout your life.

When you are a leader, manager or entrepreneur out in the business world, whatever the situation, whatever you are doing if you can work with your purpose it serves everyone.

But we don’t have to have one purpose, we don’t have to do the one thing that is our passion full time, you can have a job that you enjoy but isn’t your passion but the income gives you the recompense to do the things that are your Ikigai. Listen in and hear about how to find out and acknowledge what you love.

 

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• The word IKIGAI is formed of 2 syllables the ‘iki’ – means life, ‘gai’ – means worth.
• It’s our life worth and our life value.
• Your Ikigai is where you do what you love, you do what you are good at, you do something that you can be paid for and it links into what the world needs.
• In our western philosophy what you love and what you are good at crossover and can become your passion, and passion means you suffer.
• What you are good at and what you can be paid for can become your profession and you can develop the skills to become good at something.
• What the world needs and what you can be paid for can be your vocation.
• What the world needs and what you love could become your mission.
• If we can find out and work with what we are passionate about its better for us because we can live our life on purpose and with joy.
• We don’t have to have one purpose; we don’t have to do the one thing that is our passion full time.
• We don’t have to do 100% of the time the thing that is our purpose we can do things that give us the ability, the time and the money to do the thing we are really passionate about.
• If you do what you love, you do what you’re good at, you do what you can be paid for and you do what the world needs then you are in an ideal situation but it’s fine to operate in a non-ideal situation as long as you are doing things you love some of the time.
