Artist or Millionaire?
The power of AND in Ikigai.
What do you want to be?
Probably the wrong question to start with though one we are asked from the time we are children.
Gaping Void, created by Hugh MacLeod is often a great conversation starter.
In this cartoon, he takes the ‘what do you want to be’ and puts a twist on it.
The characters debate becoming... artists or millionaires. Why not both?
I love the 'and' portion of this. We all want to live out our higher purpose...AND we need to make a living.
Can we do both while doing the same thing?
If you were living out your true ikigai, what would you be doing for a living?
Would it be the same thing you are doing today?
Dear David, thanks a lot. Albert Einstein was working at a Swiss patent office. I am sure he knew what he did.
And I like what I do for a living because there is much potential to change something there.
And I know a lot of nice and interesting people. And a lot of nice and interesting people like me. And I have some expert status there. And my husband works there too, other organisational unit though. I know what I do aswell. And everything Else can be done in between the duties. Yours devoted follower
