Ikigai - an ancient Japanese philosophy that has enveloped the way Japanese people live. Some believe it's even the reason for their happiness and longevity. It's no wonder western culture has chosen to adopt it as their way of discovering a meaningful career.

"Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your 'reason for being.' 'Iki' means 'life,' and 'gai' describes value or worth.
Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It's what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day" The Person spoke on The video.
