  • Have you ever wondered what your purpose in life is? Tim Tamashiro delights us with a journey into the discovery of Ikigai, a treasure map for finding one’s own happiness. Ikigai originates from Okinawa, the birthplace of Karate and home to one of the highest percentages of centurions in the world. Take the first step in discovering your own Ikigai, and earn your yellow belt in finding your purpose.
    A love of music, and a dream to create a life full of it, carried Tim Tamashiro all the way from childhood music lessons to a successful career as a jazz musician. Growing up in small town Alberta, Tamashiro felt differently than the other kids, and embraced that feeling to pursue creative outlets that he enjoyed. Piano lessons led to music school, work with with HMV retail, then a role with MCA Records. For twenty years, he enjoyed working in music, from performing with bands, singing at events and in front of prime ministers and royalty. He sang jazz standards with The Jump Orchestra in Edmonton, then moved to Calgary and joined a local jazz group called The Swinging Bovines. He released his debut album, “Wiseass Crooner,” in 1995, and toured Canada promoting it. Most recently Tim authored the book "How to Ikigai: Lessons for Finding Happiness and Living Your Life's Purpose" This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

    Listening to him was like listening to Uncle Iroh. It must be lovely to have a cup of tea listening to him anytime of the day.

    I have heard many talks on ikigai but this seems to be the best motivational speech which gives us the roadmap for finding our own ikigai.

    None of you will mispronounce "Ikigai" again. Tim's Speedo will never leave your mind.

    This is the talk I needed for this specific moment in my life. I was so immersed in it I even felt like clapping at the very end.

    Sometimes western influences recommend choose a job what you like to do, but it is not make sense. Sometimes what we like could be not valuable skill in life, but this Japanese philosopy, ikigai says better something, it is kind of combination "what you like", "what can you earn", "what you are good at "

    The best Ikigai talk I've ever listened to! I've never thought of it was an action/verb before. Everyone tells me that this is a goal to strive forward and that sometimes make it feel like it's something too far away. Thank you for reminding us that meaningful life starts now, with each action we choose for ourselves!

    I have been delighted by this wonderful talk, light hearted, yet deadly serious, it's not the 'what' we get in life, it's 'how' we live it, seeking to delight others cannot be done by forcing yourself on others, rather it is like stepping in as a dance partner, for a few moments drawing attention to something beautiful, telling, profound, meaningful, ultimately moving and thoughtful, a light touch and a happy smile, and magically we've dabbed a dot of colourful delight into another's life...

    Ikigai - do what you love, do what you are good at, do what the world needs and do what you will be rewarded for.

    What hit me about this talk is Martial Arts changed my life! Ouit so many bad habits, got in shape and went on to teach! I was also a professional musician for many years! I still love doing both!

    Great concept but more than that he's such a naturally good speaker! Lots to learn from him in that area. Do feel like he kind of rushed through the last part of it.

    God spoke to me and told me that my genuine purpose in life is to be an advocate and helper of the weak, when they are not strong. Healer of the wounded souls that do not have the love of Jesus and protect those whom are being mistreated. My family say that I'm sort of like Joan of Arc 🐺
