admin Success is as much about your skills as it is about embodying a purpose-driven outlook. Recognizing your true potential in life can help unlock new avenues you never thought existed. From paths that lead to happiness to those that connect to success, pondering your life’s meaning and purpose can help you redefine your life’s journey.
While many may class this as a strand new-age philosophy, in reality, this notion is rooted in the age-old Japanese concept of ‘Ikigai’. In simple terms, Ikigai translates to ‘reason for being’; it is about making one’s life more fruitful by recognising his/her true calling.
