Why you do what you do
Raison d’etre
Ikigai
Call it what you may, we all have a need to come to grips with how we interact with our worlds. Yes many worlds. Different demands and multiple identities in them, but at the end of the day, one perosna, you. And why you come to work/school/society/the global economy.
Who are you and what do you wish to leave as a legacy? And how will you strive to have something valuable to leave?
The answers are in a simple yet incredibly complex graphic you see above.
It’s a topic I blogged about a long time ago, in 5 parts (I welcome you to click and read all of them).

A new article appeared on my screen, courtesy of Steve Isaacson who remembered that I teach ikigai in my work and the various sessions he has attended.
He is paying attention, so I will pay attention back to him for this article to further your understanding: https://fourminutebooks.com/ikigai/.
Let’s thank Steve.
