What Does Ikigai Mean?
Ikigai, pronounced (ee-key-guy) is a Japanese concept that means “a reason for being.” 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. For us, it means exactly what the ikigai diagram shows, combining our passions, professions, missions, and vocations into one deliverable. A reason for being.
