Vitiligo as Ikigai
Ikigai (two Japanese words: iki, meaning “life” or “alive,” and gai, meaning “worth” or “benefit.”) is a Japanese concept that refers to finding one’s purpose or reason for being. It’s a personal quest to discover what truly brings satisfaction and meaning to your life. At its core, Ikigai is about finding joy in life through purpose.
In practice, Ikigai is often represented by four primary elements that intersect:
1. What you love (your passion)
2. What you are good at (your vocation)
3. What the world needs (your mission)
4. What you can be paid for (your profession)
When these elements come together, they create a balance between personal satisfaction and societal contribution, leading to a fulfilling life.
For Dr. Holla and MelanoSite Vitiligo treatment is Ikigai. This is what we love, what we good at, what we contribute towards the vitiligo sufferer and we are paid for this contribution.
