The Japanese Formula For Happiness - Ikigai 

Buying and eating ice cream stop problems for a while, but it can’t remove it

Money does not solve problems, the security it brings, actually brings happiness, money is a means to achieve it.

You need money (a store of value) to not be a parasite, you consume energy by living which has a production cost. Money doesn't have to be paper notes, it has been shells etc. in the past as long as two parties agree anything can be money, money makes barter more effective as you can skip many steps of direct barter that used to be required.

You can not buy happiness but yea money solves problems and if you enjoy your work then it' s just heaven

I think it was more of money isn’t needed for happiness as in you can’t buy out but you do need to feel safe if you feel unsafe like your gonna go bank rupt or injured they trigger the same response of fight or flight so it’s not actually the money/being comfortable it’s feeling safe your not going to be changing all over the place

Helping people is definitely something "the world" needs. I dont think the point is to affect the entire world, but to do something that benefits more than just yourself. I think you got it ;)

I'm so happy you love your job. My grand father died from dementia and I always though people didn't like that jobs

@@weloveit24 i really love my job, seeing those people happy is amazing. Yes, maybe they'll forget it in 5minutes but hey, they we're happy and that feeling is something they'll feel all day eventho they don't know why. Make a person with dementia happy, he'll stay happy for a while.

Dot Solution it seems like you’re doing very well for yourself but there’s one thing that caught my attention. You said you “think” you found happiness. That uncertainty makes me think there’s possibly something you’re not quiet happy with or are missing. Possibly a re-evaluation could help find the uncertainty.

Priyanshu Kumar you need to try new things... You'll never try everything so you better get to work 😆

Im in that state right now, what ive doneis try new things, do things out of the ordinary and see how you feel. If that means job hunting, travelling, joining out of this world clubs so be it.

Okay existential crisis is real but ..but now you are here even if it's pointless . Then you have a bunch of activities that make you feel good and give a some sort of meaning . Well get busy doing these activities

Do nofap

@@osse1n how to find ourself?

HI

Hi there!

Thx(◍•ᴗ•◍)❤

Same here 😊

@@toqa6735 you're most welcome ◉‿◉

Thank you! I hope you are happy too :)

Thank you :) I hope you're happy too!

Arigatou 😁

Thanks man. You too

thanks.. and i hope you are happy too dude

100% :)

I love this!

Thanks. I was wonderng if ikigai (as career choice) was a thing in Japan. To me it looked like students after graduating tried to get hired at the best (largest) company that would take them.

@Sallow The Jugger don't be difficult lmao

@Sallow The Jugger you’re not funny

Rien lol, where do you live ?

And not to forget for girls it FINDOM 😂 Or maybe calling everyone who doesn't agree with them a misogynist , doesn't apply to all obviously

Improvement Pill Its not nearly the same in eastern Europe, I wouldn't know for the west, but here you won't be getting opioids for back pain or anything like that.

nonsense

Rien not money?

The happiness comes from lewding anime girls

You made 6 mistakes in the word hentai

But it's not always a well-paying job

I think you meant issekai. That's another form of escapism... Although, I wouldn't mind changing my current life with that of the supreme ruler of Nazarick...

@@edi9892 But can you bone?

Ikea perheps lol.

@@joelthehole1767 LOL

I think that the people who said that money is not important are either jobless idiots or really rich people fooling everybody else

@@LazyAdventurer101 true Money brings happiness because you don't have to constantly worry about starving, and if your hungry you get irritated and are not happy. + Taking cold showers and no heating is pretty bad. But people forget you have to work for the money. For example, my mother works all day, and never has time for anything. Even when she's on a break she constantly worries about working and can't enjoy what she works for. I would rather work part time and be somewhat poor than full time and be richer. But people that say that money doesn't bring happiness and you should stay where you are are just trying to step on others to not get competition.

@@aaaAAA-vr2hv but you said it yourself your mom has money and isn’t happy. Money relieves you from financial stress, yes, but that doesn’t make you happy, it just makes you not stressed about basic needs. Happiness comes from the relationships you have with other people like love or friendship, and it also comes from purpose too. Doing what you love doing. you can be one of the richest people on the planet but if you hate your job so much you’ll never be happy. In fact, you’ll end up with bad spending habits, buying things you don’t need to make up for how unsatisfied you are with your life and before you know it you’re drowning in debt and your back to square 1 with financial issues. Yes, money is an absolute necessity but being rich isn’t. And if you become rich by doing something you love that’s fucking awesome.

Dude earlier I saw your comment in med school vlog

Bro, you are one step away from people giving you a 69

whats the book about? :)

That's how these videos are made :D

@@osse1n What is that

@@osse1n Coincidence?

@@osse1n I have noticed it when I'm in tune with my self, so when I'm doing the work that I know is important.

i can relate to that❤️

Believe..you will💜💜💜🌻🌻

Yes, trust me, everyone can change the world... and if it's only a tiny little piece.

This is me. Mind asking what job are you doing?

True, I love that channel.

woman of culture

Yuh

hell yes

same

it's okay because we have the same pfp

My guess is that's u new here,if its the case i was also depressed af in last summer and tbh this Chanel helped me a lot Well at least its was the first step, if u want to be better try watching All his video and learn from them , i also recommend to learn from Jordan B.Paterson if u want to ask anything else i am glade to help you (^^).

Recommendation is on point

That’s because this is really bad advice. Please don’t listen to him at all.

season two is out bro hyyyppe

I was looking for this comment

SylenDraws exactly

Same

The video is like the main focus of Mob Psycho 100

I got that reference

Yeah, me too

Aditya Ranjan me too. Keep it going man!👍🏼

@@sagichdirnicht1558 All the best brother!

Good luck fam!

@@ValentinoHarpa Thanks!

A wet girl is still sexy😋

@@ImprovementPill my friend left me for a couple of months to be with other people and shes talking to me again, and apologized for it. I keep thinking people are going to leave me again and it freaks me out a little.

@@MH-mj3sf Start Working on yourself , have goals and hobbies , have good relationship with your family and socialize then you would feel confident and the fact that if anybody leaves you won't bother you.

@@MH-mj3sf thing is, we think that people are rational but they're not. They do irrational and strange things. So don't focus on anyone focus on yourself. Figure out who you are, what you want, what path is bringing you fulfilment. And go walk it. People who are "yours" will meet you along the way :)

@@polinaa5896 Thank you so much :) I'll try my best to do so

@@ajiteshrai4242 Thank you for the advice, I'll do my best to work on myself :)

That was surely brilliant

More like fake it til u make it.

Manifesting

expecto patronum!

@@lethokuhlemsimang2208 😂😭

Not being depressed will make u happy

Switch your focus from that and look for

But you cant live with nothing, so you have to choose something that will give you money for food. So you choose the minimal thing that will give you the maximum amount of self improvment, then you can be yourself and you need nothing more than this. The ikigay is a minimum achivement instead of giving up on everything.

jacobawojtowicz he’s saying to get yourself to the point where you aren’t living paycheck to paycheck struggling to make ends meet. That can vary depending on how large your family is and where you live as well as career. Money may not buy happiness but it does take care of many problems, as makes things easier

That’s denial of what you truly are. Although you may change throughout life, the things you want will always remain the same. If you understand the things you want, if they are and feel right to you, then go after them. They are literally the reason you are alive. Denying yourself self-realization at every turn is a sure path to the noose.

I agree with you. But most people nowadays aren't happy with just being. They always want to keep doing which is the root of their suffering.

Well some people have at 6 and are not happy. I think happiness is in ones mind.

Me too. It's brilliant. All the best to you in achieving your ikigai. 😄

Well all the motivation i got from this video is ruined by your comment. I can't thank you enough!!!

英語の動画で見付ける日本人はいつも日本が嫌いなのか謙遜で言ってるのか区別がつかないコメントばかりする印象しかないな

Americans lol I wonder if there are casual things we say that are turned into words to live by in other countries

@@ajarimccaster5747 Here in Brazil we use the term "shape inexplicável" (inexplicable shape), which means something like a state of impressive shreddedness. Sedentary people enter gyms saying they will conquer "the shape" and that will change their lives. When a guy is depressed, a common piece of advice to give him is "go and get the shape". I myself live for the shape. So yeah

How'ya doing ?

Unagi!!

Guilty as charged.

Truck kun arriving

Isekai + Harem + Boosted gear

Hobbesfield - never felt it - only anger lol

@@osse1n I have depression and hate life.

Ayee! You are already happy!

Hobbesfield oh honey...

or even better, imagine knowing what someone else loving you feels like

@@ImprovementPill because they are working like 10 hours a day and the young adults aren't breeding?

It’s actually the opposite in India, people always pester you about marrying and having a child that I started to think, ‘marriage is annoying’ and also the fact is that two people actually realise whther they love each other or not only after marriage. Btw I’m 17 and nice video! 😁

Still declining till date

That's what I thought when I saw the title..."I wouldn't put happiness and Japanese people and connect the two..."

@@phil4863 literally because having children is very expensive in Japan.

Totally agree with you!

a hack to achieving instant happiness 😆

Do one shorter easy to watch bc I can't understand all this long videos and I don't have time

you haven't tried enough things

Well said :D !

Haha lol

@@ImprovementPill or maybe not everyone can be happy, maybe they are drowning in some kind of invisible depression.

Boring

Often times physicians are overworked and under a lot of pressure. Most of us can screw up at our jobs without much consequence, at worst you get fired and only screw yourself up. Having other people's lives depend on your actions daily, all while having to work on a crazy hard schedule really takes its toll.
