I'm so glad you found it useful Vicki! We need to have our purpose straight to sustain a writing life.

Beautifully said, Jeanette. Thank you for such a compelling article. For years, I've journaled about how teaching and educating others are my passions. Even in my past job, I leaned toward roles that involved user training at the end of a project, and I’d be thrilled. Now, as I write online more, it feels as if a path becomes clearer each time I hit publish. :)

What a beautiful passion, Mae! I also find the more I journal and the more I publish, the clearer my path and contribution become.

Love how you taught us how to put Ikigai into practice through writing and how the practice of writing actually helps you clarify your Ikigai, Jeanette.

Just brilliant! Thank you!

Thanks for your comment, Kathy. I've certainly found that my purpose and passion become more clear through just jumping in and trying things more than sitting thinking about them. Glad you enjoyed it!
