Ikigai
The happiest people are not the ones who achieve the most. They are the ones
who spend more time than others in a state of flow. ― Héctor García and
Francesc Miralles, Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Long and Healthy Life
Artists, for example, who carry the torch of their ikigai instead of retiring, have this
power. Art, in all its forms, is an ikigai that can bring happiness and
purpose to our days. Enjoying or creating beauty is free, and something all
human beings have access to. ― Héctor García and Francesc Miralles
