I just learnd something NEW!🤩
I’ve been reading through the Writing 101 materials in the classroom, and one concept really stood out to me: Ikigai. 😊✨ Ikigai is a Japanese idea that means “a reason for being.” 🌿 It focuses on finding balance between what you love ❤️, what you’re good at 💪, what you can be paid for 💼, and what the world needs 🌎. Where those four areas overlap is your Ikigai. ⚖️ I also think it applies beautifully to writing. ✍️📚 When passion, skill, purpose, and value come together, the work feels more meaningful and energizing. 😄💡 Even if you can’t access the classroom, I’d love to hear your thoughts. What do you think about Ikigai? 🙂
