Tune in to a video workshop to understand the Japanese secret to leading a meaningful life, and to find your own purpose
Cards from Life Deck
The best of us face days when we struggle to define our purpose, and feel that our lives are dragging on, driven on a default mode. Over a decade ago, Ahmedabad-based chartered accountant (CA) Anish Baheti was going through a similar phase. After completing his CA, he started working but found a lingering sense of dissatisfaction that prompted him to change multiple jobs, and later, pursue an MBA. Despite a new degree and job, the same discontent crept in, compelling Baheti to quit. A chance phone call from a Dubai-based finance student who needed help with his coursework led Baheti to mentor him. Eventually, a few more such mentoring sessions followed, before Baheti realised that helping people, simplifying complex problems and inspiring the uninspired was his calling. Nearly 15 years later, Baheti, the founder of Train My Brain, is now a purpose coach, author and a keynote speaker, leading professionals from various fields towards their ikigai.

A motivating force, a purpose, or the raison d’être of one’s life — the Japanese term ikigai has many definitions. According to Japanese culture, every person has an ikigai — a reason for being. In an online video-on-demand course, he unpacks the meaning behind the Japanese secret. Baheti, who has designed the Life Deck, explains that each of the 52 cards in it stand for a different life concept — fear, irritation, anger, to name a few. The final card — purpose or ikigai — is the basis for the video course.

“It’s a simplified version of ikigai which has three pillars. First is skill — what are your strongest skills or something you’re good at? Next is pay — what are the things you think that people will pay you for? The third and most important aspect is love — what is something you love to do, even at 2 am, even for free? It can be anything that takes you to a no-fear, no-stress zone,” Baheti elucidates. The key to finding ikigai is to trace the common thread that connects these three pillars, he adds.
In the video, the expert walks you through the concept of ikigai. “These are the three core areas you need to work on. It might come to you now or three years down the line. Once you do, you won’t feel like you’re just working, because you’ll be enjoying your life,” he promises.
