Ikigai

Get clear on your purpose and reason for being.

"People can feel real ikigai only when, on the basis of personal maturity, the satisfaction of various desires, love and happiness, encounters with others, and a sense of the value of life, they proceed toward self-realization." - Kobayashi Tsukasa

Ikigai (生き甲斐), pronounced “ee-kee-gah-ee”, is a Japanese concept that means “reason for being”, “reason for waking up in the morning”, “joie de vivre (joy of living)”.
