Ikigai is a Japanese concept meaning “a Reason for Being”.

Regardless of where we are in life, aren’t we searching for this in our life. I am.

As father, grandfather and husband, I want to find where I give to my loved ones and to society in general.

As a business leader, manager, boss and visionary, I want to help my fellow team members find their “reason for being”. I know when that occurs, the entire work environment is energized, positive results are plentiful and it’s just plain fun.

As a person, I know when I find the place where love, work, my personal gifts and where I fulfill other’s needs mix together; life in general is AWESOME! Its awesome for me! Its awesome for my employer! Its awesome of society/clients/friends! Its a perfect work/life balance!

I hope this graphic makes you think about how you can find your reason. If you are a boss, or leader in business, I hope you might apply this is helping your team. It will make challenges of business much easier.
