How difficult is it to solve the time, money and happiness equation? What is our personal IKIGAI? Ikigai in simple terms is that factor which makes you want to get up from bed with a smile on your face in anticipation a great day ahead.
Each of us has our own reasons to be happy about, our own interpretation of money and time. But the million dollar question still remains Do we have the time to enjoy money and the money to enjoy time? This is significant because the success of our life depends on this equation.
We are comfortable negotiating for money but most of us are not too adept at negotiating for time. Though time is a non -renewable resource, we still do not attribute the same respect we have for money to time.
Ikigai teaches us that very small changes in life can create a huge impact in our lives since there will be very less resistance. Our work life balance depends on how happy we find ourselves at the end of the day. Our challenge will always remain on how we manage to complete an apparently impossible task just by virtue of our creative intervention.
The value of patience, good habits, stepping out of the comfort zone and delegation are some of the lessons that we as professionals need to cultivate and pursue in life.
