IKIGAI (生き甲斐)

The Japanese word ikigai originates on the island of Okinawa, an island which is
home to more people over 100 years old than any other place on earth.

Ikigai is a concept in Okinawa meaning 'a reason for being' or the reason that gets
you out of bed in the morning.
It can be defined as the place where four parts of life converge; what you love, what
you contribute to the world, what you succeed at and what you are rewarded for; at
at the centre of these four concepts and when all four are in perfect balance is ikigai
which can only be reached through maturity and inner reflection.
