Ikigai
A one-page worksheet for finding your ikigai — 生き甲斐, the Japanese idea of "a reason for being" that sits where four things overlap: what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for. The four domains print as a true overlapping-circle Venn diagram, with the pairwise overlaps named — Passion, Mission, Profession, Vocation — and your ikigai at the centre where all four meet. Fill in a line or two per domain, then name the one sentence where they converge. Leave any domain blank to reflect on paper.
