The Overlapping Circles, a intriguing and knowledgeable concept derived from the book Ikigai, a Japanese concept that means, “a reason for getting up in the morning”. As shown in the diagram; That whatever you do in life, you should always have or try to have the following, .
- A PASSION for it, you should enjoy what you are doing .
- The SKILLS that are required to finish the pursued task or career
And, .
- The NEED or MARKET DEMAND for it, which means that there should be a “demand” for that in the market
- What you can be Paid for - that will help you make money

And if you are able to have all those together then you are in the “Sweet Spot” also known as “ikigai” and that will give you “a reason to wake up in the morning”. And if you don’t have “PASSION” and you want to succeed then replace “PASSION” with “DISCIPLINE”
