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?
