Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being.’ ‘Iki’ in Japanese means ‘life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day.

What you love + What the world Needs = Mission
What you are good at + What you can be paid for = Profession
What you are good at + What you love = Passion

The Westernised version of ikigai says you’ve found your dream career when your career includes these four qualities:

What you love
What you’re good at
What you can be paid for
What the world needs
