@Tim Denning - You say tomato and I say red apple. The "Spanish astologer dude" says venn diagram and you say get paid for what you love. I say build self-efficacy in the space that is your wellbeing.
I love you sharing your stories on all things Tim Denning :)
My experience with Ikigai has been quite the opposite journey. Was/is it a fad? 💯. Do I use it? 💯. Do I teach people how to actually apply it to where it’s not some ephemeral bullshit? 💯
Too many people have been conditioned to chase after the wisdom of so-called 'gurus'.
But as Jesus himself revealed: The True Kingdom of the Greater God dwells WITHIN ....
The REAL concept starts and flows endlessly from Within. And while I personally enjoy learning from others, my own personal endgame belongs to knowing the Kingdom from within.
Thank you Tim for being obsessive about your personal Kingdom.
I've heard about Ikigai but never thought much of it. It's true though that passion follows commitment. Getting started is hard but once you gain momentum, just keep the ball rolling. Cheers Tim.
I still believe in the concept of a mission, or a purpose, but it isn't always the thing you do for a living. It does give your life meaning. Sometimes you just have to find something you can do easier than most other people and get paid for it.
Also, some things just doesn't come over night, like a purpose (or an obsession).
I like how you laid this out and made me think about it again. Well done Tim.
Huh, never heard of the Japanese concept of Ikigai before today. But it's an interesting philosophy to follow your curiosity and interest and see where that leads, and a whole life of passion might soon follow. Thanks for the interesting read.
I used to fall for this Ikigai BS stuff, too. Seeking answers externally almost never works. We have to go within, listen to that little voice. A couple years ago I had my version of a mini mid-life crisis. From the outside, It looked like me being hired and then quitting five or six different jobs in a matter of months. On the inside, I was putting a lot of pressure on myself to 'get back to work' and 'find my purpose.' I hit a ton of roadblocks and nothing felt like a good fit. And then I started writing and everything in my life became more clear. I'm still not making any money, but I'm starting to believe my 'purpose' has been right under my nose all along

Your writing is brilliant as always.

HE SAID JAPANESE ARE BULLSH*T?
Do what you love to do; if flying kites is your passion, go ahead, do that; do not look for "isms", Buddhism/Hinduism/Zoroastrianism, or whatever
