生き甲斐

ikigai (いきがい)

(/ˈikiˌɡaɪ/)

A Japanese broad concept combining "iki" (いき, life) and "gai" (がい, worth/value), narrowing down to translate into "a reason for being" or "a reason to get up in the morning". It represents the intersection of passion, mission, vocation, and profession—what you love, are good at, the world needs, and what has value.
