Whats your Ikigai?

If your salary dropped by 30% tomorrow, would you still love your work?

The bravest decision one can make today is to follow your Ikigai. The Japanese have a beautiful word — Ikigai — meaning “a reason for being.”

In a world where profits are unpredictable and unreal, what if we rely on work that gives you peace, joy, and a sense of purpose.

For me, following a fitness regimen and influencing others is my Ikigai. 🧠

It’s not because it earns me money, It’s not therefore something that brings the biggest paycheck, it does not. It’s because when I follow my fitness regimen, I get the best chemicals out, I feel a whole. When I am attuned to the youngsters I am influencing and theirs a wow experience, it is the most fulfilling part of my work.

I try to learn from the Japanese professionals who will gladly accept a smaller salary if it means doing work they truly love. They’ll adjust expenses, buy less, live simply — because their wealth is measured in contentment, not just currency.

In today’s volatile world — where markets crash overnight and social “approval” changes with every trend — anchoring your life to what genuinely fulfills you may be the only real stability you can have.

So here’s my question to you:

 👉 If money, titles, and other people’s opinions didn’t matter… what would your Ikigai be?
