Ikigai

Ikigai

Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means 'a reason of being'. The word is used to indicate the source of value in your life or the things that make people lives worthwile.

"According to Buettner, the concept of ikigai is not exclusive to Okinawans: “there might not be a word for it but in all four blue zones such as Sardinia and Nicoya Peninsula, the same concept exists among people living long lives.”"
