The Oxford English Dictionary describes it as "a motivating force; something or someone that gives a person a sense of purpose or a reason for living". Pretty cool, right?

So, what's the scoop on Ikigai? It's this super cool Japanese idea that's all about finding your 'reason for being'. Sounds fancy, right? But it's actually pretty simple!
In Japanese, "Iki" means "living" and "gai" is like "oh, that's valuable!". Put them together, and you've got a recipe for an awesome life!
