At the start of the year 2018, I shared and wrote on the changes that I wanted to make for this new year 2018 and setting my goals for year 2018<\/a>, after reflecting on my year 2017<\/a>. On the 10th<\/sup> January, the day it was marked as \u201cAnother year older (Again) in 2018<\/a>\u201d, I promised myself that I wanted to get a book on that particular day, a personal goal for myself. I wanted to buy a particular book on that day since it\u2019s a milestone day for me. I went to Kinokuniya Bugis and it was out of stock, I was determined to buy it today and I went Kinokuniya Orchard and I managed to buy it!<\/p>\n A new book \u2013 The little book of Ikigai : The essential Japanese way to finding your purpose in life by Ken Mogi<\/a>. This is going to be a significant moment, one of my goals for year 2018, finding my purpose, finding my direction, seeking a balance in the force.<\/p>\n On that day, 10th<\/sup> January, I started my personal journey of exploration, seeking my own Ikigai (????). Googling for the diagram representing Ikigai, I found a common diagram of four circles, intersecting together. Although it was useful, easy to use and explain, I was looking for something more therapeutic and closer to my heart. In the midst of my Google search, I discovered some gorgeous landscape photographs with the word \u201cIkigai\u201d.<\/p>\n At that moment, I knew how I wanted to share on my journeys seeking my own Ikigai, through the landscape photographs (most likely using the monochrome landscape photographs) that I took in Hokkaido, Japan.<\/a><\/p>\n
