Gai, which is a variation of 'kai', means worth or avail. I would translate 'ikigai' as a life worth living. ๐Ÿ™‚

Was there supposed to be a link or pic?

Ikigai is a Japanese term that blends two words: โ€œikiโ€ meaning โ€œto live,โ€ and โ€œgaiโ€ meaning โ€œreason,โ€ which translates to โ€œa reason to live.โ€ It's a concept that encourages people to discover what truly matters to them and to live a life filled with purpose and joy.

@Ryo1 thanks for the explanation...I was lucky enough to born with a large supply of this that I never knew it had a nice name......"pollyanna" really doesn't cut it!
