What is The Only Ikigai?
Ikigai is a Japanese concept that translates to “reason for being” or “purpose in life.” IKI in Japanese means life and GAI means value or worth. The Only Ikigai – this name signifies and represents the true purpose of my life. The only Ikigai that is The Only Reason for being, the only purpose of my being is to add value and worth to my life and to all the lives to whom I can provide with the help of doing the same. The vast field of psychology has helped me to fulfill this purpose. It represents the intersection of four fundamental elements: what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. Ikigai is the sweet spot where your passions, talents, values, and contributions align, leading to a sense of fulfillment, joy, and a deep sense of purpose in your daily life. It encompasses finding meaning in both personal and professional realms, bringing a sense of balance and contentment.
