This Japanese concept roughly translates into - the happiness of always being busy. There have been various studies to analyse the high life expectancy in Japan and especially in Okinawa. There are, of course, several factors like genetic makeup, diet, climate etcetra but the one which stands out is, Ikigai.
They are always on the move. You will never find them sitting idle. They would keep on working till the very end. They do not have a word for ‘retirement’. They prefer walking around the town running errands. Smiles and laughther are ubiquitous across their social groups. You see, most of the secrets we seek are so simple. Have you found your ikigai?
