RE: Ikigai - The Japanese Concept On How To Find Your Purpose In Life
What happens when you find your purpose, then complete it. What happens next. Is there another purpose
Just a thought. But it does happen
I'm not exactly sure what you mean here. Can you please rephrase?
you talk about finding a purpose. That could be many things. A job, project or anything. finding purpose is not a one time thing, it never stops. I don't think its a purpose people need to seek although it is nice to have but will creat ups and downs in life. People need to have a satisfaction in life no matter what they do.
People chase a purpose in life and will never find it because it is not what they want or is right in front of them and they don't see it.
This is just some thoughts on the subject.
Interesting thought.
Agree on that. What counts as a true purpose of living for you personally will always keep changing no matter what, because it's not just the world around you that's changing, it's yourself as well.
I think it is indeed what we all seek. We all want to make our lives worth it in the end. That sense of fulfillment and completeness will only come when you know 'why' you do what you do. As long as there is no reason behind your actions, those actions will feel foul to you. But again, as you said, that 'reason' keeps changing; what remians the same is the need to feel like there's value in your life.
Curious to know your thoughts on this..
I think people seek acknowledgment from others and recognition for their labor. Not to many people go out and look for a purpose. The purpose just seems to fall in their laps
Time plays a major role here. We usually figure it out soon enough in our lives, but it's still not the same for some people. There are people who, even after searching for a long time, are still not able to decide what their purpose should be.
A lot of people.
They just go day to day doing the same thing over and over again.
