argument that "only a small part is needed to reach a satisfactory solution". The Ikigai is about realizing which is the activity that suits you the best suited to what you are living, to who you are and that makes you feel happy! We often tend to be too modest: it is an attitude that is valued but not necessarily useful: we must know what we are made for: and go for it! Steps and instructions: Step 1: Take a sheet of paper, draw 4 large circles Step 2: In each of the 4 circles indicate the following domains Step 3: To your pencils! - What we love (deep down) - Why we can be paid for (why we will put money on ourselves?) - What we are good at (concrete or abstract) - What the world needs This is where Ikigai is most complicated because it requires you to do a little introspection and personal reflection. Relax: you don't have to do it in 5 minutes. It can even take several days and you can do as much Ikigai as you want until the final version is ready. Despite its apparent simplicity, finding your real Ikigai is much more complex and deeper than it seems. It is an invitation to get to the bottom of your real motivations, to explore your expectations and visions of the current state of the world around you, to look at the concrete pragmatic feasibility, and to achieve what is really important to you. Step 4: Analyse your project idea By finishing your Ikigai, you will have a clear vision of your passions and talents. You can even define a mission and a job. If so, try to see if your project idea or your current job matches your passion and what you like to do! Step 5: Reflect By placing yourself at the crossroads of your interests and the needs of the world, you will find the right balance between what you do in life and what you are passionate and/or motivated about. Ideally, your project idea will feed your Ikigai.
