I think I first came to know about Ikigai from Seth Godin’s blog. That was few week ago and today I have the book with me. So, what’s the who buzz about Ikigai?
According to Hector Garcia, Ikigai can be summed as the “a reason for being” – the thing that gets you out of bed each morning.
Few questions about Ikigai?
1. Is Ikigai only for people who are freelancers or those start-ups passion projects?
2. How to find Ikigai in a typical work? ( Programmer, designer, homemaker, clerk, peon, security person, etc)
3. Is our school or college curricula facilitating Ikigai concept?
Ikigai Mobile App
Just as I was writing this post, I had an epiphany about having a Mobile App to discover or go towards an Ikigai lifestyle. The idea of the app would be to help people find passion projects, and get them to build a life towards that moment.
1. List moments which drives curiosity
2. Fining things each person likes
3. List out things they are good at
4. Finding gaps in the current market ( What the world needs)
5. Vocation
6. Help people easily visualize about Ikigai aspects and grow them
( All these and more in the application will be designed and developed for users to add inputs and know where they now and how to build a meaningful life.)
