I noticed that nobody mentions that there can be 2 or more IKIGAIs…
That is my situation, which leads to conflicts in time and space, mentally and emotionally…when you have 2 perfectly aligned purposes that fulfill all the elements and it’s very hard to implement in real life mostly due to lack of time and because it may confuse the people you’re trying to help because they can’t identify you as one competent person in totally different domains…
This is me: a main career as an immigration lawyer, which completes all the circles, justice is a passion and mission that I love, I am good at it and get paid for it, I definitely believe it’s a vocation because it really comes naturally to me and is rewarding to make people happy…
A second lateral career as an interior designer, which also completes all the circles, creating and imagining and transforming spaces to make them beautiful is my passion and feels like a mission to help people live well and I love it, I am good at it and can get paid for it, it’s a meaningful profession and certainly a vocation, a call for me that comes very naturally and something I can’t stop thinking about and there is proof it can make people very happy…
Very interesting. However, you can still use the other two parameters:
- what the world needs
- what the world is willing to pay
To choose the winner from both the Ikigai. Because from what you mentioned above, you have only considered your own circle of influence for the Ikigai.
Thanks! The world clearly needs both, people are willing to pay for both, as far as interior design only the wealthy are willing to pay g to pay, low income people, who I believe are the ones who need it most are not willing to hire a designer…
I wouldn’t choose, I believe that if life gives you the talent you should use it 😊
