Have You found Your Ikigai?

Writer's picture: The Original Me Project The Original Me Project

There is a place that we all would love to continually exist in. It is a state of wellbeing that arises from living within ones own passion of purpose. It is the natural state of living fully in the expansion of internal joy that is externally expressed in a most authentic way.


We all have unique giftings and as I have stated before I truly believe it is our own responsibility to fully become who we individually were created to be.

In this, the rhythm of our own soul's deepest desire exists existentially within each of us, and in this awareness, we can become and live intrinsically inherent personal lives in connection to the Oneness of all.

We are all here with this joyful purpose to assist humanity in its extension towards this fullness by ones own soul expression. The unfolding of our individual soul giftings that continues to reach naturally from the Micro (individual) to the Macro ( humanity).


I have always felt passionate about this idea and understand that each of us must become our fully realized selves by learning to honor the ‘who’ that is in the ‘realized ‘I’.

I describe it as the path towards the fulfillment of our ‘soul-goal’ through the full expression of our essence ...that exist within each of us.

The 'ME'/ I / one- ness that is depicted within this very personal individual journey we all have the opportunity to embark upon..


My instinctive knowing is to the essential inherent need to be true to oneself

and here is such a beautiful example.


I discovered that in Japan there exist the ancient concept named ‘Ikigai’, (ee-key-guy),

Ikigai : ’iki’ - meaning alive or life and

‘gai’ - meaning benefit or worth.

In other words, your ‘life worth’ or your personal individual true worth for being alive WoW!!

An ancient philosophy that depicts this exact concept.


It is our own perfect place of peaceful fulfillment that we all seek.

It combines finding ones natural passion within a space one loves to exist in,

It is where you find your inner child shouting … “You are made for this!”

In this space you naturally have abundant giftings and skills and in these particular areas you enjoy immersing yourself with intrigue towards these natural instinctive interests.

This is your own personal souls domain and you are equipped with all that you need to assist yourself towards wholeness and fulfillment.

The Universe has equipped us all in these areas, to enable us to begin to be able to give to humanity in a way which we can provide for what the world is lacking…

Ikigai offered the concept of having all ones needs for true happiness met by wholeheartedly living out ones purpose or calling…..

Now this is poetic beauty in such a ‘human’ious or harmonious way! .. lol!

This is what I call ‘the sweet spot of existence’

Living Ones Bliss….. Ones pure joy!

….Ahhhhhh yes!…….makes my heart smile!


Many if not most humans live just to fill the monotonous void which societal materialism claims to be able to fill, yet never could.

We all have a passion towards something, even if we have nor yet discovered it.

Not living in sink with ones own unique soul-goal and not staying true to who you are eventually leads to suppressed ‘emotions’ that can create multiple negative outcomes for not only you, but all those you connect with.


Remember that…. Emotions are Energy in Motion.. and energy must continue to move.


If we hold back and block our souls hearts to express itself in the fullness of ones expression of purpose, it can lead to ‘dis -ease’ in the physical body. .

Being true to oneself starts with …the full conscious truth of self.

Don't avoid asking yourselves the hard questions…the only thing you should really fear is …

…..the ’You’ that is not realized!

So lets embrace it all and surrender to the possibilities instead.


Here's to the new and realized YOU! May you all find your own unique Ikigai.

Sending you all Light and Love!


Onwards and Upwards!


Wholeheartedly,

Michelee
