“Our ikigai is hidden deep inside each of us, and finding it requires a patient search.”

Your ikigai can be found at the intersection of what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you are good at.

“For many, helping others might be an ikigai strong enough to keep them alive.”

“According to scientists who have studied the five Blue Zones, the keys to longevity are diet, exercise, finding a purpose in life (an ikigai), and forming strong social ties – that is, having a broad circle of friends and good family relations.”

~ Ikigai, by Francesc Miralles and Hector Garcia
