Can Ikigai build your positivity and improve your life?

I was going through my twitter feed yesterday and I saw a tweet from my good friend @nathanmars and he said something along the lines of trying to find his Ikigai to best service his crypto community.

My first thoughts was what in the world is Ikigai? So I had to do some research. Source for most of my information.

First, how in the world do you pronounce that. lol. (ee-key-guy). There that is out of the way.

"Ikigai is a Japanese concept that means your ‘reason for being.’ ‘Iki’ in Japanese means ‘life,’ and ‘gai’ describes value or worth. Your ikigai is your life purpose or your bliss. It’s what brings you joy and inspires you to get out of bed every day."

Well, I have to tell you that fits with me 100 percent since I have become Mr. Positive. I am inspired to get out of bed every morning (and grateful) for my family, my day job, Hive, ListNerds and all my fantastic friends and community on Hive.

"It’s important to mention that while traditional Japanese philosophy focuses on finding your bliss, western interpretation has used ikigai as a method of finding your dream career."

To hell with the western interpretation. lol. I am sticking with the Japanese one.

I could go on and on but if this has peaked your interest, you can follow the link or search about Ikigai yourself. Best of luck to you Nathan on finding yours. I know you will.

ListNerds

I missed by a fraction of a nerd today of getting 600 nerds in one 24 hour period. How fracking awesome sauce is that. Lets have a look at the rich list.

Blew past the 12K mark. Whoop whoop. I got my eye on that 4th place. Did Jimmy over take Beststart? interesting.

I found some time last night to do more ListNerds emails. So this morning I was not overwhelmed. It makes for a great start to the day. And more thought and more writing time for my blog post.

I would be amiss if I did not mention my DHF for Off Blockchain support of a Children's Hospital. Please take the time to look at it, scroll to the bottom and look for me, @bradleyarrow .
