"I define IKIGAI as a state in which we experience a mix of positive emotions, a feeling of being truly alive, connected and fulfilled. I believe the only real purpose of human life is to discover the people, experiences and activities that bring us into this state. There is no other purpose.'
Find what makes you feel alive. Follow it. Build your life around it.
MYROSLAVA MARCHENKO // IKIGAI COACH
REGION: UKRAINE
My IKIGAI journey began when I lost my home and had to relocate because of war. In a moment when so much of what I knew was taken away, I started asking myself a fundamental question: What makes life worth living?
Through my own experience and deep study of IKIGAI, I came to see it not as a career framework or a single purpose, but as a state of feeling truly alive, created by the people, experiences, choices and activities that bring us joy, meaning, connection and fulfilment.
This understanding led me to create the IKIGAI Life Plan, a transformational tool that helps people design a scenario for the life they genuinely want to live, built around their own sources of IKIGAI. Instead of asking “What should I do?”, we explore “What kind of life would make me feel truly alive?”
As an IKIGAI Tribe Coach, I help people find their own answers and turn them into conscious choices and actions.
I believe there is no single purpose we are meant to find. Our purpose is to keep discovering what makes life worth living and consciously create more of it.
IKIGAI YOUR LIFE!
