Actionable Advice from Ancient Wisdom Discovering Your Purpose with Ikigai

Actionable Advice from Ancient Wisdom

I recently wrote an article about the centuries old philosophy of Ikigai with actionable steps to discovering your purpose as a successful way to figure out who you truly are, what you really want and how to get it.

Let me know what you think in the comments.

Most welcome

@alipallib.bsky.social life your profile and cover image. You’re creative and clever. I dig that 🥰👀

Worry less about the darkness and just be the light. Then the darkness will cease to exist

All that time I thought that the closest was my "safe space” when it was in fact just the world's least comfortable studio apartment. I prefer an open floor plan with lots of natural light and fresh air. Live authentically, live better.

Confirmed: children sniff out being fake and inauthenticity like pigs sniff out truffles. Gone are the days of do as I say and not as I do. Good Riddance. Authenticity for the win

I used to think my unapologetic authenticity and unique energy were bugs, but plot twist: they're actually the features . Patch your software, people, it’s 2025.

I spent 40 years on the hide-who-you-are diet and can confirm: zero nutritional value. Pro tip—life's short...eat the cake, buy the dress, be your authentic self and never apologize for it.

“Mix” Don Mamone sounds like the DJ we need at Pride. Sorry, old school formalities, there’s a new beat in town. #SpinGenderRoles

So, let me make sure I have this straight. We’re all supposed to be unique, but if you actually act unique, everyone side-eyes you like you just brought kale chips to a pizza party. Authenticity: harder than quantum physics.

Fun fact: being real is like going off script in a Marvel movie—suddenly, everyone’s invested.

Just call me Iron Human (may not have the same ring to it)

Apparently, the real glow-up isn’t skincare, it’s just telling everyone you don’t need to apologize for yourself. Sorry, not sorry for being “too much.”

Honoring folks with empathy and compassion instead of “sir/ma’am”? The world would explode—kindness is dangerous stuff! #RevolutionaryRespect

We can invent the iPhone but not a gender-neutral sir/ma’am? Step up, English language. Emojis are more advanced than honorifics at this point. 📱🚀

Can we all agree to rename “ breaking news” to “ heartbreaking news” for the next 4 years?

I was at a pro-democracy rally in Dallas this last weekend and there were so many powerful messages on the signs people made. This one was one of my favorites though.

I am hosting my first ever book reading and signing event at Opening Bell Coffee on Sunday, April 27 at 12PM. I scheduled this event to create a little hope, joy and fun at a time when it seems like people could use them. Hope you can make it. If not, order your copy and I will mail it to you.

@juliejohnsontx.bsky.social look forward to your town hall tonight. Desperately seeking hope & encouragement. It’s time for the Democratic Party to aggressively protect & defend transgender Americans from an administration & political party that has demonized them & made their lives less safe .

I attended a peaceful pro-democracy rally. I was sad there weren’t more people but I was encouraged to see a diversity among them that clearly illustrated that people from all walks of life, age and experience are done with this nonsense.

Authenticity for the win! Everytime 🥰

Aww, thank you @heathervickery.bsky.social! The feeling is entirely mutual sweet friend 🥰

Any article that leads off by calling Tr*mp a genius is one I never need to read
