How to get what you want

Finding your purpose is a powerful process. It’ll help you assess where you are today and clarify which direction you want to give to your career, your life, or just your everyday.

Ikigai is a Japanese word that translates as a reason for being, a reason to get up in the morning, a ‘raison d’être’.

It’s the combination of IKI, meaning life, and KAI, meaning the realisation of hope and expectations.

Ikigai combines the joy from doing something and a sense of purpose, meaning and well-being. It’s feeling that your life is valuable, that you have an impact. It’s not linked to your status in society, or the money you earn.

Everyone’s Ikigai is unique: it’s based on your personal history, your values, your beliefs and your personality. It’s a personal journey that may take time.
