Actually, I planned my next post on Journaly as a fiction story, the first one of a series of essays united by one topic Pleasure and Happiness.
However, I have ready a post for LinkedIn , so pleasure and happiness are still on the wait list.

I'm thinking of applying for services of career coach. I've already chosen the specialist and I hope she'll be kind to take my case. But firstly I want to do my homework in order to make our sessions more effective. That's why I'm trying to dive into fine art of Ikigai (a Japanese concept referring to something that gives a person a sense of purpose, a reason for living). That's the first draft.
