A new year has started and the first month has almost past. Did you decide and resolve at the end of 2020 to make changes and start to live a more passionate and meaningful life in 2021? Did you decide to make 2021 the year when you take your life to the next step? And, maybe you still feel a sense of confusion and wondering what steps to take and in what order?
Have you yet identified your Ikigai? Your reason for waking up in the morning?
The Japanese concept that means “a reason for being.” The word refers to having a meaningful direction or purpose in life, constituting the sense of one’s life being made worthwhile, with actions (spontaneous and willing) taken toward achieving one’s Iikigai resulting in satisfaction and a sense of meaning in to life.
Regardless of where you are at, if you have found your Ikigai, your “thing”, “your juice” in life, the reason for waking up in the morning or not, you may need support along the way. If you still are searching, you may need someone to nudge you and support you to get going?
Going back to my life and my own experience, I know I would not have made it this far without support, an accountability partner.
Do you need support?
Can help you? Can I be your accountability partner?

Do you still wonder what I am talking about… what is Ikigai? Let me share the concept in short with you. I am not claiming to be a specialist at Ikigai, at all. All I know is that for me, life changed in the process of figure it out.
What is Ikigai?
I came across the Japanese word Ikigai a few years ago and I thought of it as a beautiful word. At first not knowing the full meaning of it, then I realized it is more than a word, that it’s a concept and a philosophy, a way of life, I got compelled to find out more.
Once you do:
- what you love, including your passion & vision
- what you are good at, that is your profession & vocation
- what you can be paid for
- what the world needs
The above formula is the Ikigai way. When you on a daily basis involve all four points above, when they simultaneously come into play, it is means that you are in your Ikigai.
If you do something that involve all the four points mentioned, this is where you can live a life worth waking up every day for, a life with purpose. This is when you are in the zone, when you live in your Ikigai. This is where you find the true meaning of life and when you have found it, you are never going to work another day. Imagine that you can be paid for to what you love to do, that what you love to do is in demand, but also contributes to more than just the world economy, it’s fulfilling and meaningful. Each person’s Ikigai differs from the other and is as individual as you are. My Ikigai is made of different ingredients than yours, but I think I can help you find yours.
