I accept the origin of IKIGAI, it's fundamentals and understand why someone may need this. If this talks about the very core of who you're, then definitely there's no specific reason for all the doing in life, because fundamentally you can only name it and can't express anything out of it. We're super unique, dynamic and especially language is a limitation when you try to express out. But, definitely there is a bigger picture and profoundness attached to life which we might be missing completely.
Quoting Socrates "I know that I know nothing"
In the above quote, he asks us to stay grounded and remain unchanged, literally to the level there's no thing that you know. I don't know if that's the way how everything works in reality so we can take this idea and reach somewhere, but to unlock the magic of life and be part of the cosmic play, we should treat life with high regards and proceed the game at every step.
Remain Unchanged, We Start From Nothing
We all know very well this physical form is loaned by our parents when we came into this world. This comes with no thing, neither takes away anything when it get dropped. Time is very limited we all know, and there's no way to crack this either. May be abundance is the answer. We earn, gather and leave the material for generations.
Just a glimpse!
Walking this life all the way would be an interesting journey. We crawled walked and jumped under the shadows but don't know if we have enough courage to continue and complete. We're mostly driven by the moments and situations with or without the support. Life touched to some extent but the level of focus, determination and awareness is questionable. If this is accepted as a change this would put back everything in the next hardest situation. If you break through that also you will celebrate else only silence remains.
Is there a way to go beyond than being accidental?
We are known to this situation. Our habits and muscle memory won't change. As a matter of fact, we inherit them from our parents and grand parents. There's enough proof that the lineage and hereditary played a decent role in our attitude. There's a bit of freedom and sense of maturity when you step up in your own path, at least there's no body else to put the blame. But even that end up with the same baggage (memories, experiences, mistakes and errors). Unless there are moments to find contentment there's no richness in our life. Again there are different levels of contentment so it starts from something and move to an another thing and it's so mixed and modified over a period of time. One think I clearly see that any form of such accumulation is a pit by default.
The Whereabouts?
Like there's fuel for the automobiles, all of us need some push and momentum, else we hit boredom. If you go everywhere there's no choice or target, it just takes you for a ride which may end anywhere. In somewhere, at least there's a purpose and a goal. You have a choice and a passion for your doing. There's an inspiration to make something out of life because you'll be driven by the results and you want to grab success at any cost. But, all of these only push you to a certain extent and act differently for different people. If this may lead to a place from where we can clearly see what this routine life is all about and very distinctly can make a choice out of it, that's what we should never lose. This may relieve you and remove all the pain of being repetitive, whether we live or die.
Have a great journey ahead!
