Do what you love. How can you find a job that you love and has meaning? Is it possible to do what you love and make money? Try the Ikigai exercise as Chris demonstrates to the team and applies it to a student who wants to know what to do after school. Ikigai: A Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word refers to having a meaningful direction or purpose in life, constituting the sense of one's life being made worthwhile, with actions (spontaneous and willing) taken toward achieving one's ikigai resulting in satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life. The concept of this idea comes from a larger and more inclusive philosophy used within the Japanese traditional health system called the Wuxing that was introduced into Japan in the early 6th century from China and embraced by local folk religion and culture.
