Set goals that align with your Ikigai from "summary" of Ikigai Living by HECTOR GARCIA
To find fulfillment and purpose in life, it is essential to set goals that are in alignment with your Ikigai. Your Ikigai is the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. By setting goals that resonate with these four elements, you are more likely to experience a sense of satisfaction and fulfillment in your pursuits. When your goals align with your Ikigai, you are tapping into a deep sense of purpose and passion that can drive you forward even in the face of challenges. This alignment creates a sense of harmony and balance in your life, as you are working towards goals that are meaningful and fulfilling to you on a personal level. Setting goals that align with your Ikigai also helps you stay focused and motivated. When you are clear about what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for, you can set goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound. This clarity allows you to track your progress and make adjustments as needed to stay on course towards achieving your goals. Moreover, when your goals align with your Ikigai, you are more likely to experience a sense of flow - a state of being fully immersed and engaged in your activities. This flow state is characterized by a sense of timelessness and effortless focus, where you are fully present and absorbed in what you are doing. By setting goals that align with your Ikigai, you are creating opportunities for experiencing this state of flow more often in your life.- Setting goals that align with your Ikigai is essential for finding purpose, fulfillment, and satisfaction in your pursuits. By tapping into what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for, you are setting yourself up for success in achieving your goals and living a more meaningful and fulfilling life.
