Summary

TLDRIn this video, we explore the concept of 'ikigai'—your reason for being—by examining the intersections of four key elements: what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you excel at. By reflecting on these aspects, you can uncover your true purpose and move toward self-actualization, as discussed in Maslow's hierarchy of needs. The video emphasizes the importance of honest self-assessment and encourages viewers to take action towards identifying their ikigai, setting the stage for the next session on maximizing efforts through the Pareto Principle.
