      flyosity I love Ikigai but I would argue that ”What you can be paid for” is a western addition that has no roots in the original concept. Ikigai can be taking care of one’s children or any of your hobbies. It is what makes you feel alive, not what brings you an income.

    flyosity ”Finding the answers and a balance between these four areas could be a route to ikigai for Westerners looking for a quick interpretation of this philosophy. But in Japan, ikigai is a slower process and often has nothing to do with work or income.” weforum.org/agenda/2017/08/is-this-japanese-concept-the-secret-to-a-long-life/
