Such wise words 🙏 Thinking about, reflecting on, and living out our values is something which I think is so important, and often overlooked.

I picked up a book on Ikigai a few years ago and read the whole thing in one sitting - so many things were falling into place in my brain!

This essay has been a lovely reminder to re-engage with the concept, thank you 😊

Thank you so much Lauren. I totally felt the same way when I started reading about Ikigai. I am really glad you found this letter and it reminded you!

I blame others, my run-to. LOL. I am excited to try a Life Appraisal, where I do not make circumstances and places my culprits. This could be very eye opening. 🌼

Oh I hope you find it helpful ... It really helped me... It felt somehow easier to compile data and then looking to notice any patterns, lessons etc than just reflect on what I felt wasn't right or what was ! ... Makes me think I'm probably due a life appraisal too ! 🙏

I’m making time this morning to journal all of these mini “openers” so I can discover my ikigai… I think I already know but I find delight in delving into it deeper: connect with kindness. Maybe I’ll see if my Bestie will join me in this! 🥰

Wonderful! I hope you enjoy the process, spending the time to delve deeper is delightful! I hope you find the right ikigai for you - I really think once you have this in mind it really guides you.
