Whenever I read this Nelson Mandela’s quote, I get goosebumps as it reminds of the Costa Rican phrase plan de vida meaning soul’s purpose, the Japanese call it ikigai meaning life purpose and the French term it raison d’être meaning reason for being. It is rooted in the belief that we have a unique reason for existence and we should discover for ourselves along life’s journey what it is and consciously create a life that fulfills this. The Japanese refer to ikigai as defining your personal meaning of life in relation to your talents, passions and most importantly, what you can contribute to the wider world around you.
Dan Buettner’s Netflix series Live to 100: Secrets from the Blue Zones uncovers how having a strong plan de vida and ikigai helps you lead healthier, more vibrant lives and drives you to a higher purpose that serves the collective good.
Start by setting goals that are motivational and excite you when you think of it, ensure you have a realistic time frame to achieve them and create clear actions that will help you achieve them.
