- In a world bustling with endless distractions and demands, finding one's true purpose can seem like an elusive quest. But for artists, the journey to discover their creative calling can be a powerful source of purpose in life. In this episode of the Loosen Up Your Painting podcast , we'll explore the Japanese philosophy of Ikigai, a concept that not only gives people a sense of purpose but also fosters a deep connection with their community, direction in life, and even extends their lifespan.

Yes, watching this Netflix documentary is well worth our time.
Just recently I decided what subject matter I will concentrate on creating probably for the rest of my life. My specialty has always been there. I simply needed to tell myself the truth about what I love most. It has freed me. I never listened to your podcasts until this one tonight. What you discussed has fallen on fertile ground now. I can appreciate it. Thanks so much for sharing.
I agree with every single word of this podcast! The importance of IKIGAI is especially high these days when it takes a big effort to concentrate on the positive side of life. There is so much distraction and negativity nowadays. I feel really blessed that I am able to express myself in my paintings and be in that Zen element while painting. It is amazing how purposeful life is when you create. I really hope that my children and greatchildren will learn to connect with their true- self with my help and live a purpose driven life. Thank you, Malcolm, for this meaningful podcast!🙏🙏🙏❤
Well said Nataly, thank you
Thank you Malcolm! You always say it so well.
You are very welcome Vesna
I am so glad I picked up again on painting. It gives me so much, not only a time of learning & creativity, but a time of complete absorption away from inevitable stresses of daily life. It is great to find a teacher that has very much a similar view on life & purpose. 🙏🏻
You are so welcome!
I value your philosophy, leading a meaningful life and of course connection, as humans we all need to feel connected, after all we are, something that we seem to be deprived of in this modern day world. I think this is the cause of sickness in mind, body and soul. I would argue that we need connection and purpose as much as the air we breathe. Thank you Malcom
Absolutely!
Thank you for such an interesting podcast Malcolm. What you say definitely resonates with how I feel about my art. After years of bringing up a family, and all the usual stresses that entails 😅 I can now totally focus on my art , in fact I get withdrawal symptoms if I don’t get into my studio every day 😂 it is my passion and you have helped me and so many others feel your passion and purpose. Thank you 😘
Happy to hear its all coming together Sheena
Thank you. It is something I have been searching many years for. You put it very clearly.
You're very welcome
Very well said Malcolm. We all definitely need a purpose, focus and connection.
Thanks Karen
I fully enjoyed this and have a better understanding of why in the world I wake up every single morning at 04:30 no matter what time I go to bed to get up and make art!! Thank you so much as now I feel justified and can relate to all you shared. Thank you so much Malcom!!
Thanks for sharing and well done on your commitment to art.
