The World's Deepest Need
The interception of Ikigai.

Here’s an Ikigai Thought for your Thursday…
Some journeys are direct, and some are circuitous; some are heroic, and some are fearful and muddled. But every journey, honestly undertaken, stands a chance of taking us toward the place where our deep gladness meets the world’s deep need.”
Parker J. Palmer
Reflection:
What journeys have you undertaken in your life? How many were heroic? Fearful? Muddled?
What does Parker mean by a journey ‘honestly’ taken?
How could living your Ikigai merge your deepest gladness with what the world needs?
Why are journeys often connected to uncovering Ikigai?
There is a place where our purpose meets that of the world's. And if we are honest with ourselves about our motive, we will arrive there.
Thanks, David. This is super-timely 🌿
