    The document discusses the Japanese concept of ikigai, meaning "a reason for being". Ikigai is found at the intersection of four domains: 1) what you love, 2) what you are good at, 3) what the world needs, and 4) what you can be paid for. It provides questions to help identify activities or occupations within each domain. The document also lists online resources like My Next Move, Career One Stop, and O*Net that provide information on careers to further explore potential ikigai options. Finding the overlap between the four domains is said to lead to satisfaction and meaning in life.
