Ikigai (the word derives from iki, meaning life and kai, meaning the realisation of hopes and expectations),

is a Japanese concept about finding your individual purpose, or in other words:

• your reason for getting up every morning, or

• what is worth living for, or

• having a direction or purpose in life which makes one's life worthwhile

• he feeling of accomplishment and fulfillment that follows when people pursue their passions

This balance is found at the intersection where your passions and talents converge with the things that the world needs and is willing to pay for.
