Giving Back - My Ikigai 

Ikigai is a Japanese concept referring to a reason for living, a sense of purpose, or a "reason for being." It's about finding what truly matters to you and living a life filled with joy and meaning.

Ikigai (生き甲斐) is a combination of "iki" (生き), meaning "life" or "to live," and "gai" (甲斐), meaning "worth," "value," or "benefit".
