A free printable Ikigai worksheet from GuyGottaChange.
Ikigai is a Japanese concept meaning "a reason for being" - the thing that gets you up in the morning. This worksheet walks you through uncovering yours, layer by layer. No overthinking. No pressure to have it all figured out. Just honest reflection.
What's Included
One printable Ikigai worksheet featuring the four core circles: What You Love, What You Are Good At, What the World Needs, and What You Can Be Paid For. Each section includes guided prompts to help you reflect and write freely. The page also maps out where your Mission, Passion, Vocation, and Profession overlap, leading you to your Ikigai at the centre. A "Living Your Ikigai" section at the bottom helps you turn reflection into action with three commitment prompts.
How to Use It
Start with any of the four outer sections. Write whatever comes to mind first - your gut knows more than you think. Once all four are filled in, look for the overlap. Your Ikigai lives where your answers meet. This is not a test. Come back to it, sit with it, and let your purpose reveal itself slowly.
