In yesterday’s video, we chatted about indulging your obsessions as a way of finding your future direction.
But here’s the truth. There’s no magic formula when it comes to working out what to do with your life:
* Some people use vision boards.
* Others keep journals.
* Many have moved to digital systems.
So let’s not move forward until we’ve discussed at least one other way of determining your future path - ikigai.
Put simply, finding your ikigai means finding the intersection between the following four areas (think of them as four overlapping circles on one of those Venn diagrams):
* What you love.
* What you are good at.
* What the world needs.
* What you can get paid for.
(Note: in today’s video, I repeatedly reference only three circles - that’s because I combine the final two.)
Most of us, if we’re honest, tend to focus too much on one or maybe two of these circles, whilst ignoring the others. That would be a mistake:
* You might love basketball, but if you suck at it, it’s going to be tough to succeed.
* You might love making horseshoes and be really good at it, but the world probably doesn’t need a ton of horseshoes right now.
* You might be really good at sales and even have a high-paying sales position, but if you don’t love it, you’re either going to burn out or someone else is going to outwork you.
(Quick note: I highly recommend doing research when it comes to knowing what the world needs and what you can be paid for. I give a couple of examples of why this is important in today’s video, so make sure you give it a watch.)
Your task for today:
* Find your ikigai! Push yourself to find at least a few different options.
* Share your answers in our brand new Skool community (https://www.skool.com/the-pageant-project-1687/).
Adrian.
