Ikiquest is Here
No pressure, just presence. 🌀
Your Daily Ikigai is a year old this month.🎂
One year ago, we started exploring the idea of a daily conversation about Ikigai.
Can you believe it?
In that time, we’ve come together on a shared quest to live out our Ikigai.
That's why I have been working hard on a new initiative to support you along the way.
An initiative that was born from the countless messages I’ve received from you.
Messages shared:
🌱 Moments of joy and pain.
🌱 Stories of receiving or needing hope.
🌱 Of something missing in their lives.
🌱 A search for meaning and purpose.
Three questions echo between the lines of every message… 🌀
Who am I? 🌀
Why am I here? 🌀
What should I do? 🌀
These three questions are at the heart of living out your Ikigai.
And with that in mind, I want to announce what I’ve been working on that will help answer those questions.
Ikiquest: Your Daily Ikigai In Action 🌀
What Is Ikiquest? 🌀
If Your Daily Ikigai is an Ikigai conversation, Ikiquest is Ikigai applied.
Ikiquest will guide you through the three invitations of Ikigai:
Getting the noise down to hear that gentle voice calling us to purpose.
Uncovering and unwrapping your Ikigai
Living out your Ikigai, sharing your gifts with the world
With Ikiquest, you'll have access to exclusive content, tools, resources, and support to help you navigate the ups and downs of the Ikigai journey.
It’s a daily call to live out your Ikigai through inspired action. 🌀
You’ll also gain access to exclusive resources, meditations, and guides.
It’s a way for you to support my mission to bring Ikigai to the world. 🌎
What Is Inspired Action? 🌀
In the same way that many of you might meditate or pray, Ikiquest is a daily call to respond to the three Ikigai invitations—getting the noise down, uncovering and unwrapping your Ikigai, and living the quest and sharing.
Ikiquest: No pressure, just presence 🌀
Ikiquest will educate and empower you to live out your Ikigai every single day in a supportive, informal environment.
How do I join?
In the next few weeks, I’ll add an Ikiquest section to the Substack.
You’ll be able to subscribe and access the premium content.
What if I need or want more support?
Ikiquest members will also get access to 1-on-1 email coaching from me.
What will happen to Your Daily Ikigai?
Your Daily Ikigai isn’t going anywhere. ✅ Our daily conversation means the world to me. Your Daily Ikigai will continue just like it has over the past year.
One Final Thought.
Thank you to each and every one of you who is on this quest with me. It’s been an honor to be a part of your lives, and your support humbles me.
It’s been said that the two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.
Permit me to add a third day.
The day you remove everything that distracts you from that purpose.
That is when life begins for real.
And the Quest for Ikigai can truly begin. 🌀
Congratulations David and continued success with Ikiquest! Funny I took a survey from LinkedIn today and at the end of it they offered a $20 reward from Starbucks to Doctors without Borders and about 12 more. It took me a few moments as I in the past choose a gift certificate and gave it to my wife or kids. This is altruistic but not enough and until I choose Doctors without Borders (or another charitable cause) to fund the work they do with true Agape (Unconditional) love, did it really make me joyful. SO what does that all mean...nothing really as I am no Saint, but certainly on a quest to experience those Holy Moments that count. With this Ikiguest it sounds great and I will help within my means and support it. At the same time with the quote you mentioned> 'The two most important days in your life are the day you are born and the day you find out why.' - Mark Twain is very important and also from St. John of the Cross > “If you purify your soul of attachment to and desire for things, you will understand them spiritually. If you deny your appetite for them, you will enjoy their truth, understanding what is certain in them.” SO > Seek towards our divine nature (spirit) so we can live more fully as humans in the flesh and as a service to others = JOY!
