This is a brilliant insight, thanks for sharing. I love the concept and neatness of Ikigi, but like you struggled to work through an find mine. My exploration faded, but my interest was still there.

This is a brilliant insight, thanks for sharing. I love the concept and neatness of Ikigi, but like you struggled to work through an find mine. My exploration faded, but my interest was still there. Maybe I was approaching it wrong as, like you, I had too many things and started thinking that the venn diagram should have multiple layers or dimensions. It started to get too complex. Your Octigai approach is refreshing an has now sent me down a different path, thank you.
Hey Dereck, thanks, glad you liked it, and I'm happy to free another person from Ikigai's restrictive clutches. I see you are quite a creative person, I think the Octopus Way is much more suited to creative, curious people like us, where our disparate interests actually make life engaging and compelling. Forcing ourselves to narrow down to 1 is like an Octopus with 7 tentacles tied behind its back. Not a fun way to live.
