Ikigai is achieved when all areas overlap in the center for well-balanced. Happy life. You can pursue what you love and what the world needs, but this may leave you without any wealth. Conversely, you can go after what pays you well and what you are good at, but still feel empty and unfulfilled.
Pursuing your ikigai is meant to be a challenge and takes hard commitment, but you should also be a boost to your well-being and promote positive relationships. So where do you start? Ask yourself questions, just as if you would when changing careers.
Start with basic questions outlined in the ikigai diagram and then home in specifically from there. You must remember, ikigai isn’t achieved overnight and isn’t meant to add undue stress to your life. What it should do is remind you that there is more than just one area of life that needs to be considered in order to be a well-rounded individual.
For every financial decision made, career or otherwise, consider the other areas of the ikigai puzzle. And, not everything can be motivated by passion if it also doesn’t make sense financially and isn’t within your skill set.
