What's your reason for<br />

getting up each morning?<br />

How did you feel this morning when you began your day? What was your reason for getting up each morning?<br />

The Japanese have the term IKIGAI, which roughly translates into a "reason for being," encompassing joy and a sense of<br />

purpose and meaning and a feeling of wellbeing. Iki means life and gai means realization of hopes and expectations. IKIGAI<br />

is applicable to the small details of daily life, as well as to long-term goals and accomplishments.<br />

So, let me ask you: Is the reason you woke up this morning a source of joy in your days? Does your motivation make you<br />

wake up even before your alarm goes off?<br />

Look at the images below. Observe each one of them, taking your time to find the answer to each IKIGAI element.<br />

Element 1 . What you love to do<br />

Lo que amas hacer<br />

Element 2. What you are good at<br />

En lo que eres bueno<br />

Element 3. What the world needs<br />

Lo que el mundo necesita<br />

Element 4. What you get paid for<br />

Por lo que te pagan<br />

Bet on yourself and do what you love doing! Be dedicated and share your talent with others and you will start to see money will<br />

follow. If you are doing things driven only by money, that may be the reason you often feel tired, lethargic and with lack of<br />

motivation.<br />
