The concept of finding joy and purpose in everyday activities can indeed make life feel richer and more fulfilling. It’s wonderful to hear that you’ve found these ideas both positive and surprising. Embracing such principles can definitely lead to a stronger sense of well-being and happiness.
Ikigai is an intriguing subject. It is a Japanese concept that represents the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. By discovering our ikigai, we can find purpose and experience a sense of fulfillment in life.
