The Meaning of Ikigai

生き甲斐 (ee-kee-guy)

A Japanese philosophy translating to “a reason for being” — the purpose that inspires you to wake up each morning with joy.

IKI (生き)
Life, to live, or daily existence — the energy and vitality of being alive.
GAI (甲斐)
Worth, value, or fruit — the meaningful effect and fulfillment derived from actions.

“Our ikigai is hidden deep inside each of us, and finding it requires a patient search.”
