Ever Googled "ikigai"? It's that motivating force, your reason to live. Wondering what your ikigai is might be unnecessary, because you already have it. This week, let's dive into the essence of Ikigai. Think of it as the art of discovering your true purpose, seamlessly woven into life's fabric.

🌼 The Thread of Joyful Purpose 🌼
Ikigai is like finding the perfect stitch – where your passion, skills, what the world needs, and personal happiness converge. It's the sweet spot that brings your soul to life, much like creating with kimono fabrics.

🍃 Embrace the Beauty of Simplicity 🍃
Picture the joy of crafting, be it with kimono fabrics or anything else you adore. Ikigai is in those moments. It's also in the simple joys, like taking care of your grandchild or picking up basil leaves from your herb garden. Mine is drinking hot coco I make from the scratch every morning with the view of palm trees and skyscrapers under every day blue sky. The world doesn’t need my view or hot coco, but it doesn’t matter, just think of only yourself as long as you are not bothering anyone. :)

🌞 Weaving Purpose into Every Act 🌞
How can you discover your Ikigai? Start with what you love, what you're good at, and what fulfills you, basically all about you. Just like sewing a kimono piece by piece, this process shapes your unique path.
