What is your reason for being?

Listened in on Chris Do's workshop today on Ikigai, or your reason for being (link in comments).

Some of my thoughts:

For those who aren't aware, ikigai is a framework that allows you to find your reason for being broken down into 4 areas.

👉What you love

👉What you are good at

👉What you can be paid for

👉What the world needs

After going through the exercise myself a few months ago, I realized a few things:

1. My ikigai is my path to The Million Impact Mission (my mission to impact 1,000,000 people on their financial life journeys).

2. This is something everyone should do for themselves.

I've talked to so many #students throughout high school and college who don't know what they want to do.

This is one of the exercises that worked for me, and I'd highly recommend all of you try it. The first 3 (what you love, what you are good at, what you can be paid for) are typically easy. Figuring out the 4th and how you can connect it to the other 3 is the hard part.
