Ikigai

I read an article this morning about Ikigai.

It’s finding your reason for being – an intersection of what you love, what you’re passionate about, what the world needs, and what you can get paid to do.

It’s a challenge to find one.

You might study to be a dev.

But see yourself writing historical fiction.

You might study to be a nurse.

But find yourself tinkering with codes as a hobby.

You might study to be a marketing manager.

But find game dev more appealing.

Where do you find the middle ground?

My Ikigai is mentoring. And I am happy to be given an opportunity to do so with recent engagements.

How about you? What’s your Ikigai?
