VIBE: Ikigai
A reason for being; finding joy and purpose in the everyday.
Ikigai (生き甲斐)
Your source of vitality doesn’t have to be dramatic, rather, it often shows up in the ordinary acts that make you feel most like yourself. Ikigai speaks to that. Maybe it’s the pleasure of making something by hand, or the satisfaction of tending to a space, or the spark that comes from caring for others. It’s the “why” you get up in the morning.
TL:DR The meeting point between joy, meaning, and the quotidian.
