IKIGAI

Ikigai is a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living. Let’s find your Ikigai! You are unique and wonderful.

LET'S FIND YOURS!

1) Create Your Ikigai (overlapping circles)

Draw four large circles that overlap like a 4-petal flower. Label each circle as follows:
- What You Love
- What You Are Good At
- What The World Needs
- What You Can Be Paid For

1) Fill in Each Circle

Find Your Ikigai 🌟

Look for Overlaps:
- Look at where the answers from each circle intersect.
- If you see common themes across what you love, what you’re good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for, that’s your Ikigai.
Refine It:
- Your Ikigai may not be one exact job title. It could be a lifestyle, a way of working, or a combination of roles.
- Sometimes it requires small adjustments. For example, if you love art but don't see how to get paid for it, explore creative jobs like illustration, branding, or creating online courses.

💡 Questions to Spark Clarity

If I could do one thing for the rest of my life, what would it be?
What would I regret not pursuing 10 years from now?
What pain or challenge have I overcome that I could help others with?
How can I combine my passion with a way to serve others?
