The Essence

To put it very briefly, the sentence…

“A teaching of Ikigai and Nagomi to escape Karōshi,”

…captures the concept of my work best, in an extended spiritual sense.

In our Western culture, we tend not to express things clearly. Simple words are often missing, and statements become semantically complex.

But from the outset, this is about something truly essential: knowing, willing, and understanding itself. The key is taking action for it.

Translated, it means:

“The teaching of life purpose and harmony to avoid death by overwork.”

If you understand “work” in a natural sense, it defines itself as energy applied along a path through force.

Similarly, we can define life itself through its energy and force.

Overwork thus becomes over-energy, making it quickly clear that dependency involves an excess energy opposing harmony in life's purpose.

But — and this should stay clear at all times — this isn't about some foreign culture or cult on another planet handling things differently!

Only the phrasing of the logic changes; the topic stays the same.

It's about focusing on the variety of solution approaches that appear on your path — ones you should adapt once you recognize them.

It's always connections between different aspects that move you forward and raise questions.

Questions you should answer for yourself, as they form the essence of your progress.

This is an approach, a starting point, another perspective — nothing more, nothing less.
