Okinawa is an island, South of mainland Japan, containing some of the world’s longest living humans. On average, men live until 84 and women until 90. There are also a very high concentration of people who are 100 or more. Even the oldest Okinawans are considered healthy and have the emotional, physical and intellectual capacity to live and function independently. Those who study why the inhabitants of this island in the south of Japan live longer than people anywhere else in the world believe that one of the keys - in addition to a healthy diet, a simple life in the outdoors, green tea, and the subtropical climate - is the ikigai that shapes their lives. Ikigai. Iki meaning “to live” and gai meaning “reason” - or as we would say in English, Ikigai means your reason to live.

My mother in law is from a small island not too far from Okinawa. Her island is named Kikai. She just turned 96. Other than bad hearing and blood pressure she has no visible health issues. She has been living with us for a couple of years now and is a true joy. Up every morning around 7:30, hair fixed up, dressed nice and ready to face the day. She loves a vegetable rich diet, especially sweet potatoes (there’s a Japanese variety we find sometimes). She helps out in the kitchen, crochets every day, loves to watch golf (very passionately), and tries to walk outside a bit everyday. She stretches a lot throughout the day. She keeps herself very busy with little things every day. She laughs and smiles a lot, sometimes she gets down thinking about her older daughter that passed a couple of years ago, but day to day she is smiling. We play cards and she wins just as much as us youngsters in our 60s. What’s really funny is sometime she tries to bend the rules a bit to win.....🤣
I watch her and try to absorb her wisdom about life and living.
Thank you much 4 sharing!!
Your story more interesting
Very cool. I'm very thankful to know the benefits of gratitude. I hope anyone that reads this comment researches it for themselves.
Planning to visit rural Japan next year. Will checkout that Kikai
When I was 21 years old I worked in a convenient store in Texas. One day an older lady came in and you could see she spend most of her life frowning. She had deep frown lines. It was at that moment I decided I was going to have laugh lines when I got older. My 54th birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks and guess what...I have my laugh lines. I am constantly told I shine or I'm bright or I have a great vibe once I was even told I looked mystical. And all because I decided 30+ years ago to have laugh lines.
Wow!

Life is simple but we always try to make it hard . If someone wants to be happy , he must take care his health, relationship and financial.
That’s like saying just be happy or just get good at things your inexperienced with
"The key is to have a few, 3 or 4, good friends."
True enough. But also, try to be your own best friend. Because regardless friendships will come, they will go, especially here in the West.
But you'll be with you a lifetime. So strive to be happy with this relationship first and foremost.

agree!!
Better be happy alone than unhappy in a relationship.
Enjoy life and use your talents.
My parents and grandparents always talked to me about Ikigai. My paternal grandmother lived to 97, my maternal grandmother and great grandmother lived to 100.
@Janice Brown Hopefully people take care of their mental or that will be a loooooong time to suffer. 🙁
Here are the the 10 ikigai's :
1) Follow your reason to wake up every morning
2) Take it slow
3) Eat only to 80% full
4) Surround yourself with good friends
5) Smile
6) Reconnect with nature
7) Give thanks
8) Exercise
9) Live in the moment
10) Never retire
Really ultimate
#8 is EXERCISE YOU HAVE SMILE TWICE 5 & 8. SMILE IT HAPPENS
@@chrismash6057 thanks. i've corrected it.
THANK U! j
Good
To help others is to help yourself.
My dream: a simple, minimalist, frugal, eco friendly, meaningful life.
Thank you.
When there is clarity of vision in your life
Nothing can disturb or alter your stability of who you were created to be
These kinds of philosophies and Christianity are still relevant and are needed now more than ever before. The competitive world of the present is making people more self-centered rather than selfless.
I hope my cats count as good friends. Then I have three!
I love my kitties.
I have four dogs and plants! Not one friend. People are available to Me because of obligations but not one. I will try to be a friend to create opportunities to grow friendships!
yes they count! another video i just viewed said that "you are the average of the five people you spend the most time with".. it was difficult for me to even get to 4 so i counted my dog as 5. i spend more time with her than anyone else so yes, count cats and dogs!
Like most Americans, in this culture, I had to wait until I retired ( 1st journey) to start my igkigai, 2nd life journey. I am happy, that the now generation is learning about igkigai. The argument of the value to learn about other cultures of the world.
The concepts of IKIGAI are fantastic and many can be incorporated. But everyone may not be that lucky to have ideal conditions to implement all of them.
Is very nice have moments in silence alone for feel yourself....is good for health too
*_Ikigai is one of my favorite tools to navigate life, great video!_*
How to find purpose of living?
So much for "an introvert"
Living life is a wish. Experiencing life is a dream.
Ive always tried to avoid being an icky guy, but hell I'll give it a shot.
I think the concept of Ikigai is fantastic, helping you start a process to identify your purpose in life in a way which is easy to understand and follow
Each point makes me want to drop another like on the video but then I remember I have liked it before 😭
Many thanks for finding you and your philosophy of life. I believe I was on the road , but missed some points which I learned today. I am 85 and still walking straight. Hope to do better with ikigai.
I really love this channel, thank you for sharing so much wisdom. It allows people to identify to one they identify with the most and enforce it on their lives
Im actually reading the book right now and I’m on the last chapter ❤
Im so grateful i found this video
I love life and I truly believe in gratefulness.i believe in doing.. Doing for my family,my friends and for the strangers in need.
I learned new things! Thank you!
Thank you ❤️🐬 very beautiful, inspiring and integral way of living. Great Video ❤️
Amazing! An eye Opener. Thank you
I really enjoyed this video. As part of a quest to find my purpose in life I started a couple years ago, it's been very insightful.
Thank you so much for this video.
Good luck finding 3 - 4 friends
You are fortunate to find 1 true friend in lifetime
Very good summary. Thanks for doing this. I learned quite a bit from watching this video and a few of your other videos.
Thank you so much
Love it ,Thank you very much.
You, this video and the good people who are also grateful and, therefore, contributing to this learning are on my gratitude list tonight. Advice to myself and those interested is to not expect or eventually try to be perfect at Ikigi. Celebrate everytime there is any attempt or success in the moment. Congratulate yourself. If we beat ourselves up, we are more likely to give up as we tend to avoid doing things we get punished for. Go slowly. Thank you.
Thank you for this wonderful video!
Such and great video i go sharing for my family
I’m thankful for the video you share too 🙏🏾👌🏾🥇
thank you very much for this information
thank you so much!🌳
I FILL my stomach cause it is what I like it is tough finding a balance in anything in my life....
Very inspiring motivating video. Gives us mental energy and we feel so happy that we should live for many years
long life in western world is different, full of worries and anxieties and fear! so live short but fruitful! the quality of a blessed life is not about the length of it, but about the quality of it.

@@FaveORitt yes, you're right, every thing is relative...
But if you live a short life how in the world can you enjoy the fruits of you labor? Thats like watering a garden then burning it before harvest.
@@dominiqueharry7436 thanks, if we don't waste our time we have sufficient time to get the fruit of our effort. Even if you write only one poem of a higher quality in your entire life , it'll be more than enough, so it's all about the quality of things we do.
I loved your video and amazing facts shared. I am going to do them. Thanks 😊

Thank you
Love it!
My family tends to have long lifespans on both spans and sometimes it scares me but this video was nice. I'm going to care for my health and fitness as much as possible so I can enjoy my old age more if I end up very old. My great grandmas were 96 and 100 when they died and my grandad who died in 2018 was 85 which is quite old for a man... I was still angry about it though because I was only 23 but I was born into the family late so I was lucky to get as much time with him as I did.
Wonderful
This was a fantastic video
Yes it's interesting information like it
I went to Okinawa last year.. it's a beautiful clean place.. I had the pleasure of being there for two months🙋🏽♀️
And despite having air rail buses and plenty of traffic the air seems a hellofa lot cleaner than the USA.. the food tastes so much better..
And the weather is great... Except for the typhoons😁
THANK YOU FOR THIS VIDEO. THE VIDEO IS REALLY INTERESTING, ENLIGHTENING, AND FULL OF PRACTICAL WISDOM. IT TEACHES US TO LOVE LIFE, ENJOY LIFE, LIVE A SIMPLE AND BALANCE LIFE. LIFE IN OKINAWA IS VERY DIFFERENT FROM MAINLAND JAPAN BECAUSE IN MOST BIG CITIES OF JAPAN, IT IS ALWAYS A HURRIED LIFESTYLE. I REALLY WANT TO SEE OKINAWA SOMEDAY. I have been to Japan several times and had travelled all over Japan EXCEPT OKINAWA. 沖縄へ行きたいです。remember the 3 GREATEST BLESSINGS IN LIFE a healthy mind, a healthy body, and a healthy spirit. A healthy mind is the hardest because everything begins with a thought. THANK YOU AGAIN.
I've run across this term 3x in the past 2 months. I really needed this. I already feel healthier and happy just watching this. I cannot wait to implement these ways of living. Ridding of all that does me no good and welcoming in all that benefits me.
I've deliberately given up on social obligations. It's something I never wanted to participate in, so now I just don't go to Aunt Sally's son's graduation party because I simply don't need it.
this is so fantastic! i think i was japanese in a previous life....
Thank you 😊💓☺💗💛💖
Very nice book!
