Ikigai (生甲斐) is our reason to live. Or we often say, our reason to get up in the morning. It is said to be a life's pursuit and a worthwhile one. In Zen we say that ikigai is realized the moment we live from our center; that no time is needed; since we live now.
When we live in this present time / space; our reason for living becomes self evident.
Often this begins with simple the realization that we are all interconnected; from this veiw point, when we look around, the whole of reality is laid out before us.
