It is thought of as the reason why you want to get up in the morning, what makes you enjoy life, makes you happy and gives you fulfillment. The word ikigai is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the virtues that make your life worthwhile. Ikigai = Purpose To know your reason for being and why you want to wake up in the morning or what gives you fulfillment is quite easy, just follow the steps below; {You might need to get a notepad and pen here} a) What are those skills you have that you can be paid for?  b) What do you have that the world needs? c) What are you good at? d) What do you love doing? *What the world needs + What you love = your MIS...
