At TNTW, we believe that everyone has a unique reason for being, a meaningful purpose that inspires us each day. Ikigai (pronounced ee-kee-guy) is an ancient Japanese concept that translates to "reason for being." It's the sweet spot where your passion, mission, profession, and vocation meet, creating a fulfilling, balanced life that feels authentic and rewarding.

Why Ikigai Matters

Living your Ikigai can transform everyday routines into moments filled with joy, intention, and clarity. Finding your Ikigai not only enhances personal happiness and well-being but also positively impacts your health, resilience, and longevity.

The Four Elements of Ikigai

1. Passion: What do you love doing?
2. Mission: What does the world need from you?
3. Profession: What are you good at?
4. Vocation: What can you get rewarded for?

How to Find Your Ikigai

Begin by reflecting deeply on these questions:

• What activities make you lose track of time?
• What skills do others admire or often seek your help for?
• How would you contribute to the world if money or time were no object?
• How can your strengths and passions align with the world's needs?

Write down your answers and look for themes and intersections—these insights will illuminate your Ikigai.

Living Your Ikigai

Embracing your Ikigai is a daily practice. It means choosing to engage intentionally in actions aligned with your deepest values and strengths. It’s about cultivating joy, purpose, and meaningful connections in your daily life.
