To live out my Ikigai, I needed to Kintsugi myself. I am a masterpiece-in-the-making, recovering the treasure of my true self buried by pirates in my life. I celebrate and reintegrate every piece of myself with gold that brings me closer to my Ikigai.
So many thoughts about this. I have mostly experienced life as a dance of light. I love the questions this post provokes. I'm going to think about it more.
Yeah.. kind of swinging between my own aspirations and wanting to shut down everything and reflect on what do I want .. what can I do . What shud I do and shud I do actually that I want .. wants and desired or need ...
Very powerful question here David. Indeed, we are all part of games, and the challenge is that, most of the time, there is no winning. Because as soon as you think you are, you suddenly get pushed into a more complex game, which makes it harder to navigate..
Realising this is what gave me the courage to leave the corporate world last year, to finally follow my passion..

Those are both apt metaphors for the Ikigai journey. Here's to uncovering the buried treasure and using the 'gold' to fill in the cracks!

That's fabulous to hear. Enjoy the reflection Emma.
Thank you, David. I am! One thing it has already led to is signing up with the Optimize Heroic App. Do you know it?
I am with you David as the directions and motivation I am headed towards are a legacy of kindness and generosity as shown by the ultimate teacher! IHS
You can opt out of as many finite games as you like, as long as you remember this -
“There is but one infinite game.” - James P. Carse, “Finite and Infinite Games”
A must read if you wish to invoke the game metaphor.
Indeed. 🙏🏻Thanks for adding that to the conversation today Rijon!
Tired myself, coming to think now what am I bloody running after .. what is it ..
That is often the first step on the Ikigai journey. 🙏🏻

Indeed. Less but better as Dieter Rams said.
