Living Your Purpose with Ikigai | Season 2, Episode 21

Zen Stoic Path Show

In this episode, Victor discusses the concept of Ikigai, which means one's reason for being. He explains that living one's purpose is the most natural thing we can do, but our beliefs and identities often prevent us from doing so. Victor emphasizes the importance of right livelihood, which means making a living in a way that aligns with our values and doesn't harm others. He breaks down the four questions of Ikigai: what am I good at, what can I get paid for, what does the world need, and what do I love. Victor advises starting with what you love and finding ways to serve others while staying aligned with your values. He also introduces the five laws of stratospheric success, which include giving more value than you receive and being open to receiving.
