Which is more important: passion, mission, profession, or vocation?
A respected profession without a true calling can lead to feelings of dissatisfaction and burnout, despite outward success.
Doing what you love while barely making ends meet leads to constant stress due to lack of funds, a feeling of sacrifice, and potential resentment towards the world for a lack of recognition.
Following a mission without joy in the actual work can feel like the right thing to do, but it lacks personal fulfillment. Alternatively, living without any sense of mission can leave one feeling like their potential is unrealized and that they’ve missed opportunities to do something meaningful.
By some estimates, the average person changes careers 5-7 times in their lifetime. Right now, over half of working professionals are considering or planning a career change in the coming years.
And how often do you think about dropping everything and starting with a clean slate?
Chronic stress and burnout from a job you don’t enjoy can lead to the desire to switch careers, move to another city, or drastically change your lifestyle… Or you can keep enduring it and feel like life is passing you by.
But there's another way.
Ikigai is a Japanese philosophical concept centered around the search for one’s personal purpose, which allows one to find meaning and joy in life. Eastern sages were able to build a value system where every action, step, work task, and hobby brings maximum satisfaction. Ultimately, ikigai isn’t some specific goal to be achieved, but rather a way of life filled with meaning and joy from each day lived. It’s the inner motivation that prompts us to get up in the morning and do what we do with a sense of fulfillment and purpose.

For a long time, I chased career highs, working late, missing family dinners, and spending weekends with my laptop. Success seemed synonymous with constant busyness and sacrifice. At some point, I realized this race wasn’t bringing me real happiness. I felt constantly tired, irritable, and was drifting away from the people closest to me. The moment came when I stopped and honestly asked myself, “What do I really want from life?” The answer was obvious. That’s how the changes began.
Alice
Deciding to change my line of work wasn’t easy, it was even a little scary. I left a stable, well-paying job and started learning a completely new field that allowed me to work remotely and have a more flexible schedule. It was frightening to start from scratch, to learn new things, but the internal need for change was stronger than the fear. Now, a year later, I can say it was the best decision of my life.
Patrik
I was driven, achieved external success, but felt an inner emptiness. I tried to fill it with accomplishments and entertainment, but it didn’t help. Serious health problems forced me to re-evaluate my priorities. I realized the fragility of life and understood that the pursuit of a career was taking away my time with loved ones and the joy of simple things. The painful experience became a lesson. I gave up the unnecessary and started paying attention to my inner needs and relationships. Now I understand that true happiness lies in harmony with myself and the world.

“This is expensive.”
Let me break it down with some simple numbers. To cover everything we’ll tackle in ‘Overcoming Resentment,’ you’d need like, two or three sessions with a therapist. Now, do the math: a single therapy session costs at least 100 euros, so the numbers speak for themselves.
“What if it doesn’t give any results?”
We psychologists are convinced that people won’t change anything in their lives unless they really want to. And to spark that desire, you need clarity. When you answer questions honestly, by yourself, you acknowledge the problem, process your emotions, and get motivated to change. Plus, I’m sharing professional techniques and insights that I use with my clients in in-person therapy sessions.
“I need to think about it.”
Honestly, that phrase always means ‘I’m not ready.’ If dealing with resentment is important to you, and it’s affecting your life, stealing your joy, aren’t you ready to get rid of it? Maybe you just like carrying those grudges around? Think about it.
The choice is yours.
You can keep living on autopilot, feeling unhappy and unfulfilled, as if trapped in a routine that brings no satisfaction. Or you can take a conscious step towards change, by starting to search for and embody your Ikigai.
