012: Ikigai; your compass, not your chain

Ikigai can be a gentle guide rather than a rigid framework, an approach for self-discovery and alignment, not a source of stress or self-reproach - find fulfilment without the pressure of perfection.

Ikigai, a reason for being, the intersection of what you love, what you are good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. 

I’m trying to find ways to make my life happier and easier as well as feeling more fulfilled more consistently.  It is easy though to fall into a trap of thinking that there is something wrong with you if you don’t have it all figured out.  I approached this project “Sarah Seeking Ikigai” thinking that there should be something to make this process quicker and easier.  I still believe that there are ways to achieve that, or certainly tangible methods and products that can help at key inflection points in life.  I need to remember the value of applying this thinking more broadly though and the fact there isn’t a single answer, it isn’t a one time and done question or methodology.
