Although there is no direct translation from the Japanese language to fully describe the term called “Ikigai”, it can be broken into two separate parts: “Iki” and “gai”. “Iki” translating to “life” and “gai” translating to “the realization of what one expects and hopes for”. It is a term used to explain the process of finding one’s life purpose and finding the thing that makes a person live life to the fullest, in a state of flow. I have drawn inspiration from the book called Ikigai to use the elements and create my own version of my personal Ikigai, which I believe will help lead me to my personal purpose.
