  • Do what you love. How can you find a job that you love and has meaning? Is it possible to do what you love and make money? Try the Ikigai exercise as Chris demonstrates to the team and applies it to a student who wants to know what to do after school.
    Ikigai:
    A Japanese concept that means "a reason for being." The word refers to having a meaningful direction or purpose in life, constituting the sense of one's life being made worthwhile, with actions (spontaneous and willing) taken toward achieving one's ikigai resulting in satisfaction and a sense of meaning to life. The concept of this idea comes from a larger and more inclusive philosophy used within the Japanese traditional health system called the Wuxing that was introduced into Japan in the early 6th century from China and embraced by local folk religion and culture.

    • How Do I Know What I'm...
    🙌 Here is Jayden's IKIGAI:
    .
    ✅ I can help people to spread their message by making content and storytelling
    ✅ I can also try to teach and create courses that were the result of all what I learned
    ✅ I can also build my own business in the food industry
    ✅ Make a TH-cam channel to try things and then show people what it feels like to do those things, what lesson did I learn.
    .
    🔥 Once you figure out this thing, I would recommend you to pick one and then double down on it, go all-in with it, do it UNTIL you get it. And I am sure it will be an interesting journey for you all.

      There is old saying: Many people do what they like to do, what they can do, or what they must do. Just few of them do what they are supposed to do.
      Your missing piece are those people who do what they are supposed to do.

      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 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.

    • @clove8461

      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

      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.

    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.

    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. 🚀

    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.

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.

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 🙂

    Wow thank you so much for this Chris!!. I was really struggling figuring out my Ikigai. This puts all the right words to what I have been searching clarity on. Thank you!

    This is super helpful! I recently graduated high school and have no idea what I want to do with my life. I’ll definitely be trying this exercise and see what comes up for me. Excited to find my Ikigai. Thank you so much, Chris!!

    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!

    You know when you find a channel and since it fits all of your needs with half of the videos(maybe more) but you feel the need to watch and like all the videos? Here it is!

    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. 🧡✨

    A vocation is something you do that feels like your life mission rather than just a job. I would have put it at the intersection of "you love" and "you are good at"

    Really loved your video! Being a creative person like myself, you sometimes feel you’re a jack of all trades master of none. I will be applying this to my thinking as I’m wanting to head back to school. Thank you!

    This was one of the best videos in awhile that I came across on the futur. It had s strong start, 2 great examples, one being a live one as well and simple and relatable language. I had read about Ikigai yesterday and I feel like I might not even have to buy the book now. Thanks so much Chris. This was way too helpful.

    I wish this concept of an "ikigai" was explained to me in grade school. Thank you

    There's never a dull moment.. and timely when I browsed through your YT playlist today. Thanks again for sharing Chris. Had a similar discussion with my 20 year old niece the other night about choosing the right path while he's young. Sent him the YT link just now and look... he's so into it. He even grabbed a pen and notebook. Happy for him! Cheers sir!
