The word "ikigai" is usually used to indicate the source of value in one's life or the things that make one's life worthwhile.[1] The word translated to English roughly means "thing that you live for" or "the reason for which you wake up in the morning."[2] Each individual's ikigai is personal to them and specific to their lives, values and beliefs. It reflects the inner self of an individual and expresses that faithfully, while simultaneously creating a mental state in which the individual feels at ease.
