Discover your purpose and track your growth journey
Structure your reflections for maximum clarity and growth
The STAR Framework: Structure your experiences from context to outcome
Set the scene - describe the context, background, or circumstances of your experience.
Define what needed to be accomplished, your role, or the challenge you faced.
Describe the specific steps you took, decisions you made, and how you approached the situation.
Share the outcome, what you learned, and how it impacted your growth or future actions.
The STAR method helps you:
Describe the context or circumstances of a meaningful experience today
What needed to be accomplished or what challenge did you face?
What specific steps did you take? How did you approach the situation?
What was the outcome? What did you learn? How will this impact your future actions?
A Japanese concept for finding life purpose and fulfillment
Ikigai (生き甲斐) literally means "reason for living" or "life's purpose." It's the intersection of what you love, what you're good at, what the world needs, and what you can be paid for.
True ikigai exists at the center where all four elements overlap. This creates a sense of purpose, fulfillment, and sustainable happiness in your career and life.
Use ikigai to evaluate career changes, find meaningful work, or identify skills to develop. It helps bridge the gap between passion and practicality.
Your ikigai isn't fixed - it evolves as you grow, learn new skills, and discover new passions. Regular reflection helps you stay aligned with your authentic self.
Fill out each section honestly and completely. Don't worry about perfect answers - focus on authentic reflection:
Find your reason for being at the intersection of passion, mission, vocation, and profession
You tend to be most productive on Tuesdays and Wednesdays. Consider scheduling important tasks during these days.
Your reflection mentions wanting to improve communication skills frequently. Consider taking a public speaking course.
You mention feeling stressed about work 60% more on Mondays. Try preparing for the week on Sunday evenings.
