According to the Japanese, everyone has an\u00a0ikigai<\/i>\u2014a reason for living. And according to the residents of the Japanese village with the world\u2019s longest-living people, finding it is the key to a happier and longer life. Having a strong sense of\u00a0ikigai<\/i>\u2014where what you love, what you\u2019re good at, what you can get paid for, and what the world needs all overlap\u2014means that each day is infused with meaning. It\u2019s the reason we get up in the morning. It\u2019s also the reason many Japanese never really retire (in fact there\u2019s no word in Japanese that means\u00a0retire<\/i> in the sense it does in English): They remain active and work at what they enjoy because they\u2019ve found a real purpose in life\u2014the happiness of always being busy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
