“The Mother of Ikigai Psychology”

The "Reason for Being" is  always the question. You might find the answer and might not. Find your Ikigai and live the balanced life; that should be the answer. 

Now, i am almost a half century years old, living my ikigai; bonding all the philosophy readings and studying i have done, to pass it to you. 

The Definition: 

"The feeling that one is alive here and now". 

"The  individual awareness that drives him or her to survive". 

"The sense of being alive now; an individual's consciousness as a motive to live". 

"The work of the mind which integrated an "Object of Ikigai" and "Feeling of Ikigai".     

The Concept: 

"The self-actualization, the meaning of life"

"The Seikatsuso ( everyday life) which is finding meaning in life in your day to day living".

The 3 Factors of self-related level associated with having Ikigai: 

     - Health   

     - Intellectual Activeness   

     - Social Roles / Behaviour    

The Personal Agency. 

"It is important to feel that you have control over your life and that you have a sense that your life is moving forward. A sense that we’re in control, and that our future is positive".
