IKIGAI
As intriguing and confusing as the term may sound, it may surprise you to know how simple of a concept the word represents.
So, to be frank, one may confuse the term with whatever they are passionate about, but following one’s passion is not the ultimatum of life. But finding passion in the work you do that benefits society simultaneously, that is the moment you find inner peace and true purpose in life.
When you do find such a zone where you could spend hours and hours on your profession and never get tired when you get that feeling of self-confidence that you are the best at what you do, the satisfaction that you receive from whatever job however small it may seem, is something that words can never express. And getting paid for it is just the cherry on top of the cake.
Every individual is unique in his or her thoughts and talents, but some people find it hard to figure out where their talent lies. Others can’t decide which one amongst the various talents they possess to choose to pursue.
As they say ‘Jack of all trades, master of none. Your passion may not be what you’re good at technically but rather it must be something that you derive pleasure from while you’re at it. Being good at it is something that comes as you work more on developing yourself and putting time and effort into it. So, the main concept is to make your life worthwhile, It’s an obvious fact that our life is short but rather than living in the fear of impending doom or being oblivious about it you should embrace it and face it head-on by making the most out of whatever time you have instead of being pessimistic.
How to Say If You're Very Happy?
1 You enjoy the lifestyle you've created
You and I are in the positions we are in today as a result of decisions we have taken. We all have the freedom to build our own lives, and if you've done so with love and purpose, you're probably very pleased.
"Life can be complicated because of endless changes and demands, but if you feel at ease with how you handled life's demands and that your day-to-day acts serve your life's intent, you're on the right track."
2 You can cope with setbacks
If, on the other hand, you are able to overcome your disappointment and survive the storm, you're probably living a happier life. "You know you're genuinely happy when you can embrace and appreciate even the most difficult circumstances,"
Your ability to fulfill your expected potential and life goals can be a strong predictor of whether or not you are genuinely satisfied.
3 You speak your truth
You would be happier if you are more at ease with yourself and your own thoughts. People who are happy are therefore courageous enough to share their true feelings. At the moment, show your emotions. Allowing yourself to become enraged and disappointed is a terrible idea.
4 You pursue your passions
You have a lot of time for the things that matter to you because you're not consumed by thinking about what others think about you. People who are happy spend their time doing what they enjoy. Go for your dreams, no matter what roadblocks you face.
⭐The key to living a long and happy life is to live each day with intent. The first step toward living a life of meaning is to reclaim control of your destiny, and the Japanese idea of ikigai is an excellent method for doing so. It might take years, if not decades, to figure out what you're here for. Nevertheless, you owe it to yourself to be cautious. ⭐
