Ikigai
A Japanese concept meaning "reason for being" — the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a concept from Okinawa, Japan — a region with some of the world's longest lifespans. It represents finding purpose through the overlap of four elements.
The four circles: What you love (passion), What you're good at (vocation), What the world needs (mission), and What you can be paid for (profession). Where all four overlap is your ikigai.
