What is an Ikigai Worksheet?

The Japanese Secret

Ikigai (η”Ÿγη”²ζ–) is a Japanese concept meaning "reason for being." It sits at the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.

How to Use This Worksheet

Add at least 3–5 items to each circle. The more honest and specific you are, the more powerful your Ikigai discovery will be. There are no right or wrong answers.

The 4 Intersections

Passion = Love + Good At. Mission = Love + World Needs. Vocation = Paid For + World Needs. Profession = Good At + Paid For. Ikigai lives at the center.

Why It Matters

Studies of Okinawa β€” one of the world's Blue Zones β€” suggest that having a clear Ikigai is linked to longevity, reduced stress, and greater life satisfaction.
