My #1 problem is matching "what the world needs" with "what pays well" lol.

I'm using this channel to figure out my life and you make me feel like you're my life coach and that I'm not alone. Appreciate your content

Over the course of my adult life, I've learned a lot about myself through my personal and professional life. In the past year or so, I believe I've discovered my own Ikigai. My passion is helping people; something the world needs is rebuilding from COVID-19; something that pays well is project management; something I'm good at is administration, organization, management, and leadership (project management). I'm looking to combine all these aspects into starting my own project consulting business to help rebuild the global economy from COVID-19. Part of this will involve travelling around the world, which I intend on doing through my PhD. I do acknowledge that this will take a lot of work on my part. However, it doesn't actually feel like work to me so I don't mind at all. Great video as always, Shane!

Computer science seems like a golden ikigai for me

I feel you bro!

Thanks for this. Even though I’m beyond undergrad, I still learn a lot from your videos and especially videos like these!

[maryclaireyabut]

Honestly for me personally I think money can buy happiness. The things that bring me joy cost money, so if someone says money can’t buy happiness I think they are lying.. sorry.

[sam.prochaska]

Figuring out what I want to do as a career is something that's given me a lot of stress in my life, and thanks in part to your channel I think I've landed on nursing as something I want to pursue. Thank you for all the help and keep it up man!

[JapanWalkerJJ]

What the world needs and what pays me well was basically me in the military. I was part of an organization that serves this country and got paid pretty good money for it. But the thing was I wasn't happy at all in the Navy, and I didn't feel like I was good enough compared to people that shared my rank. So I got honorably discharged and currently in college trying to find a passion that combines all four!

[JosephLucasTeach]

Great video! I will show this video to my students, along with some of your college major videos. I teach AP Calculus now, so I have some seniors in H.S. and they're in the process of making one of the biggest decisions of their lives. If I can show them alternative routes (i.e. trade school, comm colleges, or just working) or routes that are better suited for them so that they can slowly find their ikigai, and so that they don't have to pay the amount of debt I paid (finally paid off +100, 000 USD in loans this August 2020, took 12 years), then I will do it by showing these videos and telling about my experiences.

I am also at the point of my life where I am reflecting and readjusting my ikigai. This is my 10th year of teaching, and I realized I have 3 out of the 4 circles, which is a lot compared to other people I know, but I've been reflecting a lot the past three years that maybe it is time for a change. I do like what you said that if we slowly move towards that circle, then we will be ok. So much to reflect on before the year ends. Great video again Mr. Hummus.

I love Computers and and I Computer Engineering is my passion. I love it, I aim to get better at it, and I hope the world needs it.

[randomperson]

This has to be one of my favorites from your videos . Very interesting concept

[amyhemker]

Found my ikigai. Was a music practitioner at the hospitals, playing music for patients in the hospital, it paid well. And I got shut down because of Covid 😠 now I feel like I have to settle for something else just to pay bills and this is so hard! I don't want to do anything else. That was my ikigai. I don't want to give it up. Any advice?

[lightningspirit]

Hi! I'm in going into grade 12 and trying to decide what I should do with my life - your videos are really helpful and have taught me a lot so far! Keep up the great work!!!

[claraschwartz]

Love your YouTube content and saw you’ve done a few vids regarding... Myer Briggs, IKIGAI, and traits of extraversion/introversion... Would love it if you could do a video talking about some of the human personality theories and different tests available out there. I've been looking into which of these, when combined together, could give a clearer path to help you plan out your goals. Hell, I've even been researching how to add natal charts and other astrological ideas to the mix. lol

[gregorykaique]

My problem is find something I'm good at, I'm good at math and only math but I don't wanna be a math teacher because I wouldn't love, maybe Enginner but I'm a criative person. I'll begin Electrical Engineering very soon and I hope I'll be able to learn new skills.
