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.
What I love

@CocoPop, @JGComm thanks for quick editing. It prevented me from posting unperfect text on LinkedIn.
My pleasure! Great job))
Ohh, I've forgotten the most important part of the post: My Personal Mission [title]
I want to work on a product with a practical and measurable value. I want to be able to clearly explain to my parents and to my children what I do and why I spend half of my time on it.

😱Thanks🙏
Anytime :)
This isn't a correction, nor an attempt to improve your sentence. I just thought I could point out, in case you didn't know, that the expression what drives (someone) could be another way of saying a reason for living or a sense of purpose. Even so, I'd choose a sense of purpose anytime over what drives...
@CocoPop Am I wrong?😂
No you're not 👍🏻 You're right on the money. That's an excellent alternative: A Japanese concept referring to what drives someone — their driving force; their reason for living.
@Simone👍
In French, it's called "raison d'être". Not that that's relevant here hahaha
It's a good idea to do such an introspection once in a while. I am curious to know your experience with coaching. Are there specific things that you want to achieve with your coach? How many sessions are you planning to take?
@JG: It's very relevant here because we use it in English too: https://www.vocabulary.com/dictionary/raison%20d%27etre
