Everybody has gone through periods in their academic careers when they feel unmotivated, start putting things off, and lose sight of the purpose of what they are doing. These are normal times that frequently arise when one is confronted with obstacles or is worn out from one's regular schedule. Even though learning isn't always simple, having a goal in mind gives us the confidence to take calculated risks and succeed.
Finding your purpose is at the heart of the Japanese concept of ikigai. This idea can provide purpose to your life by acting as a motivator for daily activities as well as helping you discover inspiration in your academics. So, how can one find their ikigai? And what is included in it? In this episode, our knowledgeable staff will examine these issues.
