Naw no way that might actually be helpful. Schools lower the passing line so that they have a higher graduation output. Peoyin power don't want to breed critical thinkers. Just work at a fast food place for the rest of your life instead of working there as a stepping stone. That, in my opinion, is what those jobs should be for. A stepping stone towards other careers.
I recently talked my son OUT of being a mechanical engineer. He has the aptitude but no passion for it. He was only doing it because he felt that it was safe. His older brother is finishing up a mechanical engineering degree but he is passionate about it. I am guiding him to zero in on what he can get excited about and this video will be great for him. Thanks!
I have a master's degree in mechanical engineering but i pretty much hate every thing about working in this occupational field. Talking him out of it when he has no passion for it is the right thing to do. Well done.
you can google Ikigai and find lots of good and free resource about this topic. Furthermore Ikigai is only one way to go about it. Usually people will put information online for advertising purposes. The more people know you, the more people you can help. Having said that, Chris really seems good at his Ikigai : )
This is something that needs to be taught in schools, colleges and universities. I wish someone got me thinking like this 20 years ago. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
The Futur i think you are spot on with the changes coming about too. People are taking responsibility for their own educations now and so that is a massive area of growth. I would add that the world needs more reliable platforms of quality and fact checks. Too much ‘fake news’ out there. I think there will also be a shake up in the education system going forward but I expect it will take a another generation or two to really show. There are also a massive amounts of ‘awakenings’ happening now which is why people need more smart and creative ways to help people understand how to hack their own brain and emotions.
it thought in my school tho i don't even know why ppl are so anarchy toward edu system like it's a worldwide problem, problaby their environment/system.
I had depression for a while cause I didn't know what I'm living for and what should I do for the rest of my life, what's the career/life direction, what's the manual should I follow, and I watched this video now which is so accurate, relative & impactful, Thanks Chris, you nearly saved my life.

Im not a designer and yet I find myself drawn to this channel.I really love the way Chris thinks and teaches.I needed this in this time of my life.I’m grateful for this channel.Many blessings to all
Absolutely love how you explained the concept of ikigai Mr.Chris. This is the reason why most people struggle with productivity. They dont need to watch productivity videos. They just need to be interested in something to be productive. Cuz once you love what you do, you will learn more about it, you will find job opportunities. You will be happy at work.
The word difference is: Profession - a service you offer to the market to help you make a living Vocation - a calling or an occupation which requires great dedication and has a greater purpose
I love coaching, helping people grow, getting people to reach their highest potential. I love challenges. I am good at problem solving, getting things done and activating people to get things done. I did engineering which was great actually but I wanted a little more. My parents had no expectations, but I thought that should be what I wanted. The world needs me to help people realize that they can really do anything they truly want, that they are more powerful than they can imagine. Their ideal life and career is only 6 inches away. All the information is out there for them to learn what to do. Life is for them not against them. All the problems you have in work stems from miscommunication. There’s no one thing but you have your path that you will learn from. You are meant to have multiple purposes. There are many more options. Success comes from personal development. If you want to lead, you have to lead yourself first.
Would you consider job coaching me privately? I'm struggling with matching my many skills with a fulfilling job that will bring in decent money. I have self-limiting beliefs I need encouragement to break through in order to see the bigger picture? Many thanks
I don't know where you're at, but I've spent about 5 years trying to figure myself out. I wouldn't call it wasted time, it's time I needed to make big decisions and change as a person. If you're realizing you need or want a change, then you've been doing something right! Many people stay lost forever. Pursue your goals, it's never too late as long as you're breathing.
Ahmed, it's good that you know where you problem is from which is indecision. It's time to deal decisively with it. Focus on the identity you want to create for yourself. Who are you or who do you want to be known as or what do you want to be known for. I think you also need to do this ikigai exercise and then summon the will power to follow one path. The quicker you fail in one thing, the quicker you get going with the next thing until you pick the best for you. Also try to get an accountability partner. Connect with people who are already succeeding and doing exploits so you can be challenged to choose a path. I wish you well
There's no such thing as being behind in life. We all have our own paths, find a way to live that's fulfilling, no matter if it takes you ten more years. Better than being "ahead" but going in the wrong direction.
I read Ikigai when I was in rehab . It helped me a lot in my recovery. It was the first book I've completed. Really nice book. "a reason to jump out of bed each morning "
People are usually confused as to what they wanna do or take up as a job and I love the way how he explains it in such a simple way saying "this is what u wanna do" ....he just puts it there in such a simple , unambiguous, straightforward manner .....and there is a sense of calmness when he speaks ...it's like listening to some sort of personal motivation mantra
As a college student facing graduation within the next year and amidst this pandemic, this talk was SO IMPORTANT! Thank you!! Much love from Latin America!!
Graduate in 2011 and moved to US... mother of 4 beautiful girls.. turning point in my life... always ready to learn about self discovery and awareness and how to raise good kids... god always help me to find good stuff like the futur.... I'm trying to raise a good family but want to contribute to this world before leaving this world... thanks Chris do for your time, content, motivation and energy you put...
Love this model and coaching session. Here is my thinking model to share with everyone: - Mindset: we have to unlock ourselves and get comfortable on life-long learning and training. - Model: When making personal decisions trying to ask 3 questions: a. what you can do today; b. what you want to do; c. what you should do. - Strategy: We strive to think creatively on clarity on long term but also know what we would want to put into actions in near term (next 3 month, 6 month). If you have parents or others either say you should do this or you cann't do this, you can politely treat them as your advisory group, listen, analyze but still own your decisions. I am with TheFutur here - it is about taking your decision mindfully. The last thing - life is a magic system. you can bend the rules and build bridges toward the place you want to be. Don't just be a visitor, be a creator in your life journey.
Chris, In this world, there are some humans that make a big difference. You are one of them. You have a great spirit. You inspire me a lot. I wish you a beautiful life!! I'm just touched. I can feel your beautiful soul from here. May the king of the universe bless you.
What I found about Chris is that most designers are not good at sales, marketing and negotiation skills but he stands that part out from other designers. That part is what I want to learn from him
Generally, a profession is the job you've chosen to do “for life", more than just a temporary thing. However, just because you do something long-term doesn't mean you enjoy it. You may even hate what you do for a living! “Vocation" is something you are “called" to do, from the Latin “vocare", to call. It's following a profession that is your heart's desire. That is the main difference between the two.
Thanks Chris! 💛 I love this concept and i would like to add as a psychologist, I judge from my own experience that traumas can be a key road to what you love and what the world needs. Looking only for the "joyful" moments is just one facet of ourselves - remembering the things you fear, you are angry or sad about are just as powerful and can become your ikigai. I have most fear of expressing aggression in front of a woman. I learned as a child/baby that my mother may abandons me if I get really mad, so as a survival instinct, i stopped being angry even if i was. Facing that fear now continiously by doing the HAKA (Maori) and teaching other man to use their aggressive feelings as a source of power for focus, goal-orientation to follow what they really want - feels huge. I recommend you guys, look also for things you make yourself feeling sad, angry or fearful. There could be a huge potential for what you love next to joyful moments in your childhood. 🚀

Hi, I think you should make videos on TH-cam talking about your experience and which it’s your advice for them, I think you can really help people to become a better person😌
People should be watching this video right now. If the world crises affected their careers really badly and have lost their jobs, the change right now is a great jump off point for a review. I love the part where we should put in "what the world needs right now". It brings in a new perspective in how we can fit in the crises. Thanks for this video.
I wish i could've watched this inspirational video years ago. The time when i was dreaming to be in the United States, to built my dream job. I had a fire in my soul, i had a dream. Then i had to leave my country because of a dictator. I left my job, the company that i love. I left everything behind me. But someday, i realized that destiny took me here, the United States, to my dream world. It was tough, struggling time for me and my family for sure. As an immigrant, i forgot about my dreams already. But now, after 4 years, during another difficult time for all the world, i started to find my way again. I met Futur's videos like a miracle, i found what i exactly need to hear. Every video is making a blast in my mind. Can't stop thinking what was said in the videos all day. Thank you so much for this huge support, after all suffering years you made me feel alive again. You just pushed the button to turn on the engine. I can't thank enough!
I am the type that hardly get swayed. How I bumped into this video, I would call a mystery. I don't know who this guy is, but you're in my opinion, a gem.
This video should be shown to College students before graduating...and for those who want to change JOB bec they are burnt out,this is also a great video for them...find your Ikigai.
I year ago I emigrated from my country because a heavy crisis. I was a receantly graduated journalist and I worked at it, I loved it and I was so passionated about it. But as an immigrant everything changed. I had to work as a casher at a supermarket and I was tryn to survive with a very poor salary. Finally, I started at a new job as a Community Manager for a brand of jeans. I had short experience on it and I liked it, but I don't know if I want to dedicate to this forever. This video was so good to make me analize a lot of things and I'm going to apply this excersices to determine what I really want to do on this point of my new life. Thank you so much for share all this information!
I'm a school director here in Ecuador, from these day we will have 2 Ikigai sessions in school: one at the beggining and one at the end. If we don't get our students to find new "love" and "Good at" or "World Needs" in a whole schoolar year, we have to change something. THank you so much!
One of the best speeches and best way of couching that I've listened to so far. You've no idea how much I needed this, I'm a fresh graduate and I've been working in customer services for almost 3 years during school bc I needed money. This speech is turning everything over real soon. Thanks so much for the amazing content!
I am an educator myself and when he said most of the teachers don't know what they're talking about - True. A lot of them know a little bit about the subject - True. Very few of them know a lot about the subject - True. No one knows about everything - Also true. I sometimes ask myself these questions and Thankyou @TheFutur for putting this out.
Earlier today, I literally searched for "passion" on Skillshare and I'm currently watching a video on Ikigai. Glad to see this from a entrepreneur/designer point of view.
Chris is so sympathic, i could listen for hours. That "Ikigai" stuff could also be transfered to find the Job you want.. exchange the World and put in Company. Very helpful for app devs. You love, numbers, are good in algorithms,arrays,complex structures. you get paid for it, and there are companys that need exact such an employee.. well done thats your "job ikigai".
If this is how every teacher in world would teach, every student will have a good reason to live a successful life. Thanks Chris!! For everything you do.
Chris talks the way I wish people would talk to me. It's so encouraging and inspiring, firm yet kind. I've had so many people trash me and bring me down in my education and career. They didn't know how to bring out the best in people and it shows.
Chris, Grateful for mentoring me on my [ ATOMIC ] • [ SUPERPOWER ], 60 years in the making - The AKASHIC record + IKIGAI process leads to the INFINITE GAME of life.
Somebody shared this video to me at the most needed time. I am battling burnout and depression lately thinking that I don't have a purpose anymore..or why the heck am I still living because I don't even know what I really wanted in life. And I have been thinking of resigning from my work because I can feel that I don't belong there. That I know that my heart was longing for something that I really want and would make me happy, but I really didnt know what it was. The whole 46+ minutes of watching this was worth it. Even tho I was sobbing hard while watching the first few minutes because that hit a lot of different points in my life, and it was an eye opener. Hopefully after listing down all the things needed to be listed I will finally be able to find my Ikigai and can continue on living my life. A big thank you to you Sir Chris for making this. It was a big help indeed. More power to you and to The Futur 🙂
Literally changed careers because of this video. I was having a quarter life crisis, became a UX designer and now I've been a designer for 4 years. Wild.
Around the 22:00 mark, when Chris offers Kailee the idea of combining odds and ends, it suddenly struck a nerve in me. To write things down and examine our lives deeply seems like a basic step, but for some reason, caused me to feel highly emotional and vulnerable. I discovered this channel earlier in the week and am incredibly drawn towards something invisible here. I am 23058 out of 1b, thank you for all the great content!
Loving this! For all the Spanish audience, there is a nice book to read on this topic named "Ikigai". Very smooth read and it does extends the philosophical point on this video.
Chris thank you so much, I am speechless. You helped so many people to pursue their happy fulfilling life. gosh the world doesn't deserve you. Thank you so much for being who you are.
This is amazing, I grew up LOVING to draw but gave it up because I didn't see how I can do it for a living. What I was missing is how I can combine that love for drawing with something else that the world needs and that's what I've been focusing on getting better at. Here are my notes for this video: ✅ What I love: drawing, being creative, planning, reading, learning, bullet journaling ✅ What I'm good at: summarizing, creating guides or notes, analyzing data, ✅ What the world needs: education, inspiration, ✅ What people would pay for: a course/coaching programs, ebooks 🙌 now I'm on a journey to help other bullet journalists inspire others and maybe monetize their creative passions as well
I love how Chris always mentions his wife especially during his sessions, it shows how close they, how supportive she is and the impact she's had on him over the years... this is a great lesson in terms of selecting a partner.
Just finished 3years of study in Finance and Accounting this year and don't know what to do next so...I've been binging on the Futur's videos and podcasts.
Great talk, thank you! Maybe instead of asking "What would be good for the world", one should ask "What is wrong with it", so you get another perspective to find your calling
"That advice they gave you, you have to live with the consequences, not them." Wow. Truth. Eye opening. Thank you Chris and the futur (accelerator member here)!
the realisation of her ikigai and smile @ 21.05 minutes makes this video worth every minute and more of viewing time. The doors of possibility got kicked wide open!
this hit me hard since i graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, but it also took me awhile. i ended up hating engineering and now left a little more poor and confused. confused to where i'll be heading through life. this video helped me a bit, but still get the eerie feeling, life won't be any easier for me.
This guy is a legend an he is giving you all this information for FREE! Thank you on behalf of everyone. Today, there is no excuse for being dumb, unskilled or uneducated. The amount of information available is truly mind boggling and it is FREE. Your education begins when you leave school. I have spent my whole life learning and doing, and have had multiple areas of expertise across multiple industries, all unrelated and am still learning stuff. Can you imagine doing that before the internet, email, mobile phones or social media! Finding information, knowledge and expertise was almost impossible. Something as simple as trying to buy one book to learn something could take months! It really is sooo easy these days.
This video makes me miss school. Because i just realized that all i did before was really crappy. I am one of those student who is always late in terms of knowledge. Now it's been almost 4 years since i graduated in college and i still don't have a job because i couldn't figured out what i really wanna do in my life. By the way, the first part of this video actually teared me up and i don't know why. The things that i am actually most interested is what the world needs for me. I just don't have a guts to do it.
Thank you, my son just finished high school and plans to join university next year. He's still confused about career decisions and this is really very helpful .
One thing I learned from being a parent is that parents are not perfect. Likely they did the best they could in their circumstances. So important to be grateful! Beats the heck out of being resentful and bitter.
I'm glad I came across this. Recently turned 27 and been struggeling finding what I like doing for a long time now, spending a lot of energy on jobs I don't like only to end up being drained at the end of the day. Will definitely try this out and hope it helps. Thanks for the video!
I am currently in the process of creating my own Creative Agency and have been facing some issues (lack of motivation) with my other co-founders. After watching this video I feel so relieved and motivated that I quickly dialed my partners up and told them that guys this is what we really need to do! we need to find our individual IKIGAI and retrospect if we can actually make this happen. Thankyou @ChrisDo and @TheFutur for your words of wisdom. This has certainly brought us back on our paths to achieving want we really want to.
When i read the book ikigai i was highly influenced to find my purpose of life. Ever since i could think of becoming someone. I always saw myself as a dr and currently m in a medical school too. But regardless of that I've always loved giving. Gifting and helping! ❤️ That's something I've always loved. Recently in 2020 the best thing that could ever happen to me was i started my youtube channel for medicos for there exam revision series and lecture stuff! And read along with sessions! When i started i did it because in my college and class many of my frnds couldn't make it through to the next year with us and i was separated from my frnds. It was due to multiple reasons but i did it because I didn't wanted anyone to fail again in med school and read my notes all imp ones asked in exams and pass atleast. Doing all this i truly found what i love doing. I love to help and there msgs and comments really warm my heart. Inspires me to make good notes and upgrade my videos to better! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ Good luck and hope you'll too find ur ikigai and give something back to universe which has given you so much! Much love
Growing up I always did what my parents, especially my dad, told me I should do so when it came time for me to choose a career I of course had no idea what to choose. So, I ended up getting a master's degree that I've never used and have practically been unemployed and struggled with depression and general anxiety ever since. I've been begging various people from my job centre to help me because I've been so clueless. This is the most helpful information on the topic I've ever come across, thank you!
So nice to see this intersection of design, technology and personal growth. This challenging time makes us reflect on what we love, what we want to do and what really matters. 🧡✨
I'm 53, discovered I have ADHD at 50, life long health issues.. Coeliac diagnosed at 48. Not only did I manage to watch all of this, it may be helpful for me to choose my future as I've not been able to work. It does strike me that this method can also be applied with the opposite meanings, i.e. what doesn't pay, what are you not good at etc as a way to establish anything what you need to learn to reach your goal or even be honest or realistic about what isn't your strength and to take that into account to. I don't see that as a negative thing but to help give you an honest and realistic direction. 🤔
When I was little I spent time dancing and singing in front of mirror for hours. Also spent time filming myself and making movies in Windows Movie Maker. I invented roles for myself and I played out all involved parts or said other character dialogs in my head also without camera. But I was super super super shy and anxious in general. I'm now 22 almost and anxiety is my biggest obstacle which I'm overcoming all the time. Actually in Kindergarten I said that I want to be a spy when I grow up. Because I wanted to fight like Zorro and Jackie Chan, and pretend to be someone else. Also I was too afraid to say that I actually want to be a singer. Now I'm working on my singing. But I always wanted to just try to be everything because everything is interesting.
Same for me but acting lol I'd record my self as a superhero's and recreating my favorite video games I would do this all day and then put it on Windows movie maker and edit it and I felt so happy but as I started growing older I felt shy and scared to actually pursue it and it didn't help that my family wanted/wants me to go the "safe" route and go to school and get a "real" job that makes good money.. :/ I just finished highschool and I'm going to really try to get into acting :)
I really do wish this exercise waz done earlier in my life. 3 years into my photography journey now and watching this video further confirms my decision in quiting my job and pursuing a career in photography. Thanks Chris! 🙏

Im not a designer and yet I find myself drawn to this channel.I really love the way Chris thinks and teaches.I needed this in this time of my life.I’m grateful for this channel.Many blessings to all
Appreciate it David
Totally agree
Absolutely love how you explained the concept of ikigai Mr.Chris. This is the reason why most people struggle with productivity. They dont need to watch productivity videos. They just need to be interested in something to be productive. Cuz once you love what you do, you will learn more about it, you will find job opportunities. You will be happy at work.
The word difference is:
Profession - a service you offer to the market to help you make a living
Vocation - a calling or an occupation which requires great dedication and has a greater purpose
Yes! And a combinatiion of both is amazing.
I love coaching, helping people grow, getting people to reach their highest potential. I love challenges. I am good at problem solving, getting things done and activating people to get things done.
I did engineering which was great actually but I wanted a little more. My parents had no expectations, but I thought that should be what I wanted. The world needs me to help people realize that they can really do anything they truly want, that they are more powerful than they can imagine. Their ideal life and career is only 6 inches away. All the information is out there for them to learn what to do. Life is for them not against them. All the problems you have in work stems from miscommunication. There’s no one thing but you have your path that you will learn from. You are meant to have multiple purposes. There are many more options. Success comes from personal development. If you want to lead, you have to lead yourself first.
Kelly Lei Did you begin a coaching career? How’s it going?
well said
Would you consider job coaching me privately? I'm struggling with matching my many skills with a fulfilling job that will bring in decent money. I have self-limiting beliefs I need encouragement to break through in order to see the bigger picture? Many thanks
Love and appreciate this message 💖 💯 💝
This really helped
My indecision in choosing a path/passion has left me broke and behind
I don't know where you're at, but I've spent about 5 years trying to figure myself out. I wouldn't call it wasted time, it's time I needed to make big decisions and change as a person.
If you're realizing you need or want a change, then you've been doing something right! Many people stay lost forever. Pursue your goals, it's never too late as long as you're breathing.
Ahmed, it's good that you know where you problem is from which is indecision. It's time to deal decisively with it. Focus on the identity you want to create for yourself. Who are you or who do you want to be known as or what do you want to be known for. I think you also need to do this ikigai exercise and then summon the will power to follow one path. The quicker you fail in one thing, the quicker you get going with the next thing until you pick the best for you. Also try to get an accountability partner. Connect with people who are already succeeding and doing exploits so you can be challenged to choose a path. I wish you well
There's no such thing as being behind in life. We all have our own paths, find a way to live that's fulfilling, no matter if it takes you ten more years. Better than being "ahead" but going in the wrong direction.
I read Ikigai when I was in rehab . It helped me a lot in my recovery. It was the first book I've completed. Really nice book.

It is okay!
Just keep thinking keep seeking for it

Give your best at everything you do, every opportunity you get.
People are usually confused as to what they wanna do or take up as a job and I love the way how he explains it in such a simple way saying "this is what u wanna do" ....he just puts it there in such a simple , unambiguous, straightforward manner .....and there is a sense of calmness when he speaks ...it's like listening to some sort of personal motivation mantra
As a college student facing graduation within the next year and amidst this pandemic, this talk was SO IMPORTANT! Thank you!! Much love from Latin America!!
You're gonna do great :)

Hi Sana.
@@thefutur hi,
Love this model and coaching session. Here is my thinking model to share with everyone:
- Mindset: we have to unlock ourselves and get comfortable on life-long learning and training.
- Model: When making personal decisions trying to ask 3 questions: a. what you can do today; b. what you want to do; c. what you should do.
- Strategy: We strive to think creatively on clarity on long term but also know what we would want to put into actions in near term (next 3 month, 6 month).
If you have parents or others either say you should do this or you cann't do this, you can politely treat them as your advisory group, listen, analyze but still own your decisions.
I am with TheFutur here - it is about taking your decision mindfully.
The last thing - life is a magic system. you can bend the rules and build bridges toward the place you want to be. Don't just be a visitor, be a creator in your life journey.
Chris, In this world, there are some humans that make a big difference. You are one of them. You have a great spirit. You inspire me a lot. I wish you a beautiful life!! I'm just touched. I can feel your beautiful soul from here. May the king of the universe bless you.
Thank you 🙏
What I found about Chris is that most designers are not good at sales, marketing and negotiation skills but he stands that part out from other designers. That part is what I want to learn from him
Hello jinhee
I could watch and listen to Chris teaching for hours and i won't be bored. I love when someone explains a process in such clarity.
So you found another Point for your "I Love to" list 😁🎉
I love that he takes time to really get into each points here
Generally, a profession is the job you've chosen to do “for life", more than just a temporary thing. However, just because you do something long-term doesn't mean you enjoy it. You may even hate what you do for a living!
“Vocation" is something you are “called" to do, from the Latin “vocare", to call. It's following a profession that is your heart's desire. That is the main difference between the two.
Thanks Chris! 💛 I love this concept and i would like to add as a psychologist, I judge from my own experience that traumas can be a key road to what you love and what the world needs. Looking only for the "joyful" moments is just one facet of ourselves - remembering the things you fear, you are angry or sad about are just as powerful and can become your ikigai.
I have most fear of expressing aggression in front of a woman. I learned as a child/baby that my mother may abandons me if I get really mad, so as a survival instinct, i stopped being angry even if i was. Facing that fear now continiously by doing the HAKA (Maori) and teaching other man to use their aggressive feelings as a source of power for focus, goal-orientation to follow what they really want - feels huge. I recommend you guys, look also for things you make yourself feeling sad, angry or fearful. There could be a huge potential for what you love next to joyful moments in your childhood. 🚀
Thank you 😊
Great story man. Can u just give us some instructions where to look into that, because i can't specifically find it?
@@SteveFox369 check out Simon Sinek's book Find your Why or Evan Carmichael's book Your One Word. I used them to find my mission. Now I started a podcast to help people face their fears. anchor.fm/julianopaula Good Luck!
Pleasa make videos!
Hi, I think you should make videos on TH-cam talking about your experience and which it’s your advice for them, I think you can really help people to become a better person😌
People should be watching this video right now.
If the world crises affected their careers really badly and have lost their jobs, the change right now is a great jump off point for a review. I love the part where we should put in "what the world needs right now". It brings in a new perspective in how we can fit in the crises.
Thanks for this video.
"It's hard to score a goal when you don't know where that goal is" really felt that one I love this
Maybe one of the most important videos on TH-cam. It's about you, your life, your dreams, your future, your health, your everything.
I love that your Ikigai is exactly what you’re doing rn and that it truly benefits us so much
So procrastination is my ikigai ?
I wasn't expecting to be thinking this deep at 5 in the morning. Thank you for this vid.
Sorry 😐
I'm watching at 2:50AM
Watching at 6:44 am no sleep btw🤦🏽♂️
Finished at 3:25am Haha
I wish i could've watched this inspirational video years ago. The time when i was dreaming to be in the United States, to built my dream job. I had a fire in my soul, i had a dream. Then i had to leave my country because of a dictator. I left my job, the company that i love. I left everything behind me. But someday, i realized that destiny took me here, the United States, to my dream world. It was tough, struggling time for me and my family for sure. As an immigrant, i forgot about my dreams already. But now, after 4 years, during another difficult time for all the world, i started to find my way again. I met Futur's videos like a miracle, i found what i exactly need to hear. Every video is making a blast in my mind. Can't stop thinking what was said in the videos all day. Thank you so much for this huge support, after all suffering years you made me feel alive again. You just pushed the button to turn on the engine. I can't thank enough!
Lol i know that dictator. XD. Congrats on making through UK!
I am the type that hardly get swayed. How I bumped into this video, I would call a mystery. I don't know who this guy is, but you're in my opinion, a gem.
Welcome to the Futur
@@thefutur this reply is everything
Found him last night and I’m hooked.
This generation is SO lucky to have TH-cam and presenters like this one. Awesome video!!
Thanks Chris!!💖
This video should be shown to College students before graduating...and for those who want to change JOB bec they are burnt out,this is also a great video for them...find your Ikigai.
12:45 Shout out to Chris' incisive wife whose powerful insight is essentially responsible for the futur existing
She’s my rock
@@thefutur Also shout out to Jose Caballer for planting the seeds of teaching on youtube early on
I year ago I emigrated from my country because a heavy crisis. I was a receantly graduated journalist and I worked at it, I loved it and I was so passionated about it. But as an immigrant everything changed. I had to work as a casher at a supermarket and I was tryn to survive with a very poor salary. Finally, I started at a new job as a Community Manager for a brand of jeans. I had short experience on it and I liked it, but I don't know if I want to dedicate to this forever. This video was so good to make me analize a lot of things and I'm going to apply this excersices to determine what I really want to do on this point of my new life. Thank you so much for share all this information!
I'm a school director here in Ecuador, from these day we will have 2 Ikigai sessions in school: one at the beggining and one at the end. If we don't get our students to find new "love" and "Good at" or "World Needs" in a whole schoolar year, we have to change something. THank you so much!
Let me know how it goes Lee
O
One of the best speeches and best way of couching that I've listened to so far. You've no idea how much I needed this, I'm a fresh graduate and I've been working in customer services for almost 3 years during school bc I needed money. This speech is turning everything over real soon. Thanks so much for the amazing content!
I am an educator myself and when he said most of the teachers don't know what they're talking about - True.
A lot of them know a little bit about the subject - True.
Very few of them know a lot about the subject - True.
No one knows about everything - Also true.
I sometimes ask myself these questions and Thankyou @TheFutur for putting this out.
Thank you Richa
Earlier today, I literally searched for "passion" on Skillshare and I'm currently watching a video on Ikigai.
Glad to see this from a entrepreneur/designer point of view.
Chris is so sympathic, i could listen for hours. That "Ikigai" stuff could also be transfered to find the Job you want.. exchange the World and put in Company. Very helpful for app devs. You love, numbers, are good in algorithms,arrays,complex structures. you get paid for it, and there are companys that need exact such an employee.. well done thats your "job ikigai".
I don't even know why i started crying at some points
What i do know is that I'm very grateful to you
Thank you.
Thank you 😊
If this is how every teacher in world would teach, every student will have a good reason to live a successful life.
Thanks Chris!! For everything you do.
Thank you
Chris talks the way I wish people would talk to me. It's so encouraging and inspiring, firm yet kind. I've had so many people trash me and bring me down in my education and career. They didn't know how to bring out the best in people and it shows.
Thank you
Chris, this one is a classic. Should be sent to all creative design schools.
Chris, Grateful for mentoring me on my [ ATOMIC ] • [ SUPERPOWER ], 60 years in the making - The AKASHIC record + IKIGAI process leads to the INFINITE GAME of life.
Somebody shared this video to me at the most needed time. I am battling burnout and depression lately thinking that I don't have a purpose anymore..or why the heck am I still living because I don't even know what I really wanted in life. And I have been thinking of resigning from my work because I can feel that I don't belong there. That I know that my heart was longing for something that I really want and would make me happy, but I really didnt know what it was. The whole 46+ minutes of watching this was worth it. Even tho I was sobbing hard while watching the first few minutes because that hit a lot of different points in my life, and it was an eye opener. Hopefully after listing down all the things needed to be listed I will finally be able to find my Ikigai and can continue on living my life. A big thank you to you Sir Chris for making this. It was a big help indeed. More power to you and to The Futur 🙂
Hang in there
Literally changed careers because of this video. I was having a quarter life crisis, became a UX designer and now I've been a designer for 4 years. Wild.
dont know why i get full of tears in my eyes when i watch this type of videos cant control ........
Do you feel connected to some bigger idea?
I'm so glad I got to watch this, it's like 5.am in Nigeria and this is a great way to start my day
Yh
This video actually made me realize exactly what I hate about my current design job, despite loving design. This was amazing
Around the 22:00 mark, when Chris offers Kailee the idea of combining odds and ends, it suddenly struck a nerve in me. To write things down and examine our lives deeply seems like a basic step, but for some reason, caused me to feel highly emotional and vulnerable. I discovered this channel earlier in the week and am incredibly drawn towards something invisible here. I am 23058 out of 1b, thank you for all the great content!
Thank you. Welcome to the Futur
Loving this!
For all the Spanish audience, there is a nice book to read on this topic named "Ikigai". Very smooth read and it does extends the philosophical point on this video.
Chris thank you so much, I am speechless. You helped so many people to pursue their happy fulfilling life. gosh the world doesn't deserve you. Thank you so much for being who you are.
Thank you Gabriella.
This is amazing, I grew up LOVING to draw but gave it up because I didn't see how I can do it for a living. What I was missing is how I can combine that love for drawing with something else that the world needs and that's what I've been focusing on getting better at. Here are my notes for this video:
✅ What I love: drawing, being creative, planning, reading, learning, bullet journaling
✅ What I'm good at: summarizing, creating guides or notes, analyzing data,
✅ What the world needs: education, inspiration,
✅ What people would pay for: a course/coaching programs, ebooks
🙌 now I'm on a journey to help other bullet journalists inspire others and maybe monetize their creative passions as well
I love how Chris always mentions his wife especially during his sessions, it shows how close they, how supportive she is and the impact she's had on him over the years... this is a great lesson in terms of selecting a partner.
Traditional Education had become so redundant and stifles intellectual growth in student. It should be re-thought .
Within the first 3 minutes this has changed my perspective on my creative pursuits
I think I've just found the best TH-cam channel , it's never too late I'm in my late 30s and it's so inspiring to change my life
Just finished 3years of study in Finance and Accounting this year and don't know what to do next so...I've been binging on the Futur's videos and podcasts.
whatever you do, don't do public accounting and avoid the Big 4 kool-aid.
@@huytran9823 how come? That comment was 4 months ago and I still feel the same regarding my path lol
14:30 Loves Chris' outfit. Looks like that stylish uncle that teach you life skills you didn't know you wanted to learn.
Great talk, thank you! Maybe instead of asking "What would be good for the world", one should ask "What is wrong with it", so you get another perspective to find your calling
that's very helpful thx :)
"That advice they gave you, you have to live with the consequences, not them." Wow. Truth. Eye opening. Thank you Chris and the futur (accelerator member here)!
Heyy, thanks for dropping by and joining Accelerator.
the realisation of her ikigai and smile @ 21.05 minutes makes this video worth every minute and more of viewing time. The doors of possibility got kicked wide open!
Thank you very much man!!! I'm an almost 40yrs old guy and this class just unlocked the gate I needed. Total respect. You earn a new fan. Cheers.
Thank you 🙏
this hit me hard since i graduated with a mechanical engineering degree, but it also took me awhile. i ended up hating engineering and now left a little more poor and confused. confused to where i'll be heading through life. this video helped me a bit, but still get the eerie feeling, life won't be any easier for me.
I wish this concept of an "ikigai" was explained to me in grade school. Thank you
This guy is a legend an he is giving you all this information for FREE! Thank you on behalf of everyone. Today, there is no excuse for being dumb, unskilled or uneducated. The amount of information available is truly mind boggling and it is FREE. Your education begins when you leave school. I have spent my whole life learning and doing, and have had multiple areas of expertise across multiple industries, all unrelated and am still learning stuff. Can you imagine doing that before the internet, email, mobile phones or social media! Finding information, knowledge and expertise was almost impossible. Something as simple as trying to buy one book to learn something could take months! It really is sooo easy these days.
I knew what I wanted to do at 27. And was good at it. Fast forward, I’ve spent 25 years doing a vocation. Thankful I found this
Awesome!
I wish I saw this when I was in college, or even high school. At least I'm seeing it now! Extremely insightful and motivating.
This video makes me miss school. Because i just realized that all i did before was really crappy. I am one of those student who is always late in terms of knowledge. Now it's been almost 4 years since i graduated in college and i still don't have a job because i couldn't figured out what i really wanna do in my life. By the way, the first part of this video actually teared me up and i don't know why. The things that i am actually most interested is what the world needs for me. I just don't have a guts to do it.
what does the world need from you? go for it!
this gives me a lot easier understanding to ikigai, i know ikigai like a year or two ago but not with this level of understanding, thank you chris
I make it a point to watch this every year... allows me to see where I am in the stream of my goals, wants,etc.
I’m Japanese grow up in Japan and stayed US for several years and back. You updated Ikigai to better information. Very agreeable analysis of term.
Thank you 🙏
Chris is the type of mentor one needs and the Futur is the school we all wish we went to. Saving for some of your courses
Don’t miss the Black Friday promotion
How many years do i need to work to retire?
-4 years.
This man dropped the biggest flex on us all
Thank you, my son just finished high school and plans to join university next year. He's still confused about career decisions and this is really very helpful .
I don't know why anyone will unlike this video. This video has really changed a lot.
It took me 30 years to find my Ikigai and I didn’t know what it’s called until I found Chris! Find yours now!
The second time I’m watching this.
I’m currently almost done with school and this couldn’t come at a better time
I kinda wish my parents would talk to me like this 21:11 - 22:10
They don't but I'm grateful for them regardless.
Thank you though - for saying that.
Feel u
One thing I learned from being a parent is that parents are not perfect. Likely they did the best they could in their circumstances.
So important to be grateful! Beats the heck out of being resentful and bitter.
I'm glad I came across this. Recently turned 27 and been struggeling finding what I like doing for a long time now, spending a lot of energy on jobs I don't like only to end up being drained at the end of the day. Will definitely try this out and hope it helps. Thanks for the video!
Hey. What have u chosen to do?
I am currently in the process of creating my own Creative Agency and have been facing some issues (lack of motivation) with my other co-founders. After watching this video I feel so relieved and motivated that I quickly dialed my partners up and told them that guys this is what we really need to do! we need to find our individual IKIGAI and retrospect if we can actually make this happen. Thankyou @ChrisDo and @TheFutur for your words of wisdom. This has certainly brought us back on our paths to achieving want we really want to.
When i read the book ikigai i was highly influenced to find my purpose of life.
Ever since i could think of becoming someone. I always saw myself as a dr and currently m in a medical school too.
But regardless of that I've always loved giving. Gifting and helping! ❤️ That's something I've always loved.
Recently in 2020 the best thing that could ever happen to me was i started my youtube channel for medicos for there exam revision series and lecture stuff! And read along with sessions! When i started i did it because in my college and class many of my frnds couldn't make it through to the next year with us and i was separated from my frnds. It was due to multiple reasons but i did it because I didn't wanted anyone to fail again in med school and read my notes all imp ones asked in exams and pass atleast. Doing all this i truly found what i love doing. I love to help and there msgs and comments really warm my heart. Inspires me to make good notes and upgrade my videos to better! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Good luck and hope you'll too find ur ikigai and give something back to universe which has given you so much! Much love
Growing up I always did what my parents, especially my dad, told me I should do so when it came time for me to choose a career I of course had no idea what to choose. So, I ended up getting a master's degree that I've never used and have practically been unemployed and struggled with depression and general anxiety ever since. I've been begging various people from my job centre to help me because I've been so clueless. This is the most helpful information on the topic I've ever come across, thank you!
The way around this crisis is self employment. Being an employee is so difficult to please the boss. Hard to be self employed too.
So nice to see this intersection of design, technology and personal growth. This challenging time makes us reflect on what we love, what we want to do and what really matters. 🧡✨
My new favorite teacher! I’m so happy to hear diversity promoted! And being taught on such a personal level but meant for everyone! Thank you!
I'm 53, discovered I have ADHD at 50, life long health issues.. Coeliac diagnosed at 48. Not only did I manage to watch all of this, it may be helpful for me to choose my future as I've not been able to work. It does strike me that this method can also be applied with the opposite meanings, i.e. what doesn't pay, what are you not good at etc as a way to establish anything what you need to learn to reach your goal or even be honest or realistic about what isn't your strength and to take that into account to. I don't see that as a negative thing but to help give you an honest and realistic direction. 🤔
When I was little I spent time dancing and singing in front of mirror for hours. Also spent time filming myself and making movies in Windows Movie Maker. I invented roles for myself and I played out all involved parts or said other character dialogs in my head also without camera. But I was super super super shy and anxious in general. I'm now 22 almost and anxiety is my biggest obstacle which I'm overcoming all the time. Actually in Kindergarten I said that I want to be a spy when I grow up. Because I wanted to fight like Zorro and Jackie Chan, and pretend to be someone else. Also I was too afraid to say that I actually want to be a singer. Now I'm working on my singing. But I always wanted to just try to be everything because everything is interesting.
Follow ur passion
Same for me but acting lol I'd record my self as a superhero's and recreating my favorite video games I would do this all day and then put it on Windows movie maker and edit it and I felt so happy but as I started growing older I felt shy and scared to actually pursue it and it didn't help that my family wanted/wants me to go the "safe" route and go to school and get a "real" job that makes good money.. :/ I just finished highschool and I'm going to really try to get into acting :)
@@GayahakJ I hope everything works out for you! See you in Hollywood, hehe! ;)

This is like Simon Sinek’s Find My Why, but so much more in how to do it. Thank you.
Thanks 🙏
@@thefutur yes! There are so many talks on what you should do, but few break it down into steps you can actually follow.
I liked the overall concept in that book, but it sounded too much like a way to snoop on your coworkers' personal business.
Exactly correct
I really do wish this exercise waz done earlier in my life. 3 years into my photography journey now and watching this video further confirms my decision in quiting my job and pursuing a career in photography. Thanks Chris! 🙏
