What is YOUR Reason for Being? (Ikigai)

Do what you love. How can you find a job that you love and has meaning? Is it possible to do what you love and make money? Try the Ikigai exercise as Chris demonstrates to the team and applies it to a student who wants to know what to do after school.
Ikigai:
A Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word refers to having a meaningful direction or purpose in life, constituting the sense of one's life being made worthwhile, with actions (spontaneous and willing) taken toward achieving one's ikigai resulting in satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life. The concept of this idea comes from a larger and more inclusive philosophy used within the Japanese traditional health system called the Wuxing that was introduced into Japan in the early 6th century from China and embraced by local folk religion and culture.

• How Do I Know What I'm...
🙌 Here is Jayden's IKIGAI:
.
✅ I can help people to spread their message by making content and storytelling
✅ I can also try to teach and create courses that were the result of all what I learned
✅ I can also build my own business in the food industry
✅ Make a UA-cam channel to try things and then show people what it feels like to do those things, what lesson did I learn.
.
🔥 Once you figure out this thing, I would recommend you to pick one and then double down on it, go all-in with it, do it UNTIL you get it. And I am sure it will be an interesting journey for you all.
