LIFE DIRECTION
Need some direction?
I help expats explore their values, passions, strengths, long-term aspirations, and goals, by guiding them towards a more fulfilling and meaningful life so they can live in alignment with their life’s purpose and a clear sense of direction and a reframed mindset. Finding one’s life direction and purpose is an ongoing process. It’s about aligning one’s actions with one’s values and constantly reassessing while navigating the journey of life. To better achieve all this, we will explore the Japanese concepts of ikigai (the sources of meaning in one’s life) and Ikigai-kan (the sources and feelings that these sources provide one with).
1, Life Direction: Life direction refers to the general path or trajectory that an individual takes in their life. It involves making choices and decisions that align with one’s values, goals, passions, and aspirations. Finding one’s life direction often requires self-reflection, goal-setting, and a willingness to adapt to change. It can encompass various aspects of life, including career, relationships, personal growth, and overall well-being.
2. Life Purpose: Life purpose is the deeper reason or meaning behind one’s existence. It goes beyond day-to-day activities and focuses on the broader significance of one’s life and encompasses a deeper sense of meaning and fulfillment. Discovering and living in alignment with one’s life purpose can bring a sense of fulfillment, passion, and meaning to daily experiences. This may involve identifying core values, talents, and the impact one wishes to make on the world.
