Last night I spoke at an event in Calgary called Boozy Lectures. It's an event that invites speakers and professors to give presentations at a bar. 300 people came out to Bank and Baron Pub. When the introductions began everyone became instantly silent. It was amazing!!! I delivered my How To Ikigai talk that shares inspiring information for why it's so difficult to find purpose in life and how to go about gathering the evidence. The audience was comprised mainly of young adults between 20 and 45. It reminded me how lost we can be in a life that requires us to focus on "adulting" while forgetting the benefits of curiosity and wonder. If you're lost, searching for purpose, remember the most essential thing you can do is to gather evidence. Get out and do things that inspire you. Try the things that fascinate you. Dig elbow deep into your curiosities. And never, ever forget that you are your work, not your job. Here's hoping you Do More You today. Oh, and make sure you take the Do What You Love course in the Classroom to get started with your ikigai

When you click the Classroom tab you'll notice there's a new course available for you at Ikigai Dojo. This course has had thousands of students on platforms like Skillshare and Udemy . Now, it's thrilling to bring it to this community. If you take the course, you'll be prompted to name your ikigai. When you do let us know below! It's fun to have a little ikigai coming out party.
