While there’s some debate over its “true” form, the most commonly used ikigai diagram in Western culture is a Venn diagram-esque map of four interlocking circles.

Ikigai is a Japanese word that means “reason for living” or “sense of purpose.” This is the exact concept that an ikigai map can help you find.

By filling in the four circles of an ikigai template, you can slowly identify your true purpose in everyday life. The sections where two rings intersect are positive areas; the sections where three rings overlap are even better; and the center—where all four rings coincide—is the ultimate sweet spot.

The four circles of an ikigai diagram correspond to the four components of ikigai. Loosely translated, these are:

What you love – This is your passion in life—maybe traveling, fishing, or reading a good book.

What you’re good at – These are areas in which you excel—think problem-solving, cooking, or creative writing.

What you make money from – These are your marketable skills and qualities—perhaps graphic design, marketing, or fluency in a second language.

What the world needs – These are ideals that can make the world around you a better place—examples include respect, compassion, and balance.

Filling out an ikigai diagram is simple; thinking about what to write may take some more reflection.

Start with an ikigai template from FigJam, and add as many examples as possible under each individual circle. From there, work your way into the center. For example, where the “what you love” and “what you’re good at” circles meet, you’d put the passions that could lead you to success. Digging deeper, you’ll fill out the three-circle areas before finishing with the center.

Once you have your ideal in the middle, all that’s left to do is share your ikigai concept with the world.
