Happy Monday, Ikigai Weirdos!

So this morning Todd Wynne-Parry texted me a little diagram I had never seen before — the four-circle “ikigai” framework. Naturally, I fell straight down the wormhole. Research mode activated.

But the more I dug, the more something surprising hit me:

This thing describes exactly what we’re trying to build here in YLIG.

Ikigai is basically the center of the target — the overlap of:

- What you love

- What you’re good at

- What the world needs

- What you can get paid for

And suddenly I thought… "wait a minute."

Isn’t that the whole point of what we’re doing as land developers, dream-chasers, freedom-builders?

We’re not just trying to build glamping sites or short-term rentals.

We’re trying to build lives that sit closer and closer to that bullseye — purpose, capability, contribution, and income all lined up.

So here’s your Monday nudge:

If you’re in this group, you’re already one of the “ikigai weirdos.” You’re someone who refuses to settle for the life everyone else sleepwalks through. You’re aiming for that center.

Let’s keep moving toward it together.

Happy Monday, friends — let’s build.
