IKIGAI

2 IDEAS FROM ME

1. Travel and learning foreign languages exposes us to different life-enhancing perspectives and words for which we otherwise have no awareness or ability to fully experience. For example, Ikigai is a Japanese word for everything in our past, present, and future that makes life worth living. It can provide passionate clarity of the things that matter most in every critical dimension of life.

2. Defining your ikigai is essential to creating a life worth living. The Ikigai Tool @ https://ultrajourney.com is a free and simple step-by-step tutorial to get you started.

2 QUOTES FROM SAGES

1. “Ikigai is a spectrum of all your past, present, and future experiences in your life that have been, are, and will be worthwhile. It is the accumulation and anticipation of life experience that makes your life feel worth living.”– Nicholas Kemp

2. “Ikigai is a sense of being alive now, an individual’s consciousness as a motive to live. Ikigai is a work of the mind which integrates an “object of ikigai” and “feeling of ikigai.”– Akihiro Hasegawa (Constituent Elemenbts of Ikigai – 2001)
