What can Japan teach us about meaning, mastery and a fulfilling
life?

In the first episode of my IKIGAI series, we explored why IKIGAI
is much more than the familiar Western four-circle model.

This time, we go one step further.

We look at a perspective in which meaning doesn't have to wait
until we achieve a major goal, find the perfect career or finally
feel that we have “arrived”.

Meaning can also emerge from the process itself.

From attention.

Dedication.

Repetition.

And becoming just a little better at something, again and again.

One example is the Japanese approach to mastery – visible in
traditional craftsmanship or in the decades-long dedication of a
sushi master such as Jiro Ono.

Not perfection as a final state.

But continuous improvement as a process.

And that raises an interesting question for our own lives:

What activity is worth giving my attention to again and
again – regardless of recognition, status or outcome?

In this episode, we explore IKIGAI, mastery, Kaizen and why
meaning may sometimes be much closer than we think.
