Someone once said that I was an "Icky guy." Is that the same thing?

“We suffer more in imagination than in reality” : SENECA

Is it a matter of doing something you enjoy or doing something you consider worthwhile. There is a substantial difference between those two. Enjoyment brings momentary pleasure and happiness. Doing something worthwhile promotes a sense of your own importance in the world and a sense that you are benefiting others as well as yourself. Big difference.

before becoming a father, I struggled with getting a sense of my ikigai. Once my daughter was placed in my hands, it was amazing how quickly I was able to discover it.

Hands down "aperture" is the most informative, accurate, meaningfull channel I've ever came across & experienced on KZfaq. Topics that I can relate to, that share legit information. Nothing exaggerated, no gimmicks, no bait...because they give a shit! Best content, everyone involved with the channel should proud of what they contribute to the masses. Your videos make my time spent alive, much better in so many ways! Thank you to all.

Eudaimonia is an ancient Greek term that means happiness, flourishing, or wellbeing. Highest goal for it's own sake. Ikigai is the intersection of what you love, what the world needs, what you can be paid for, and what you're good at. Maybe happiness in the moment.

3:43 As a boxer, I'm so glad these visuals got paired with the idea of Ikigai

As almost anyone who watched this video, I’m still on the lookout of my ikigai. I focus on working on my personal/social skills and take it day by day. Like you said in the video, “to enjoy those small joys”. That brings me peace. Thanks for the video, once again. Great content creator.

Thank you for this!

"Discipline. Consistency. Deadlines. Creativity. Reflection. Repeat." --an award-winning author 🐲✨🐲✨🐲✨

I have lived in the US, Japan and China. I’m fluent in all 3 languages. When visiting Japan, Americans by far are most curious about temples and shrines, or things like Zen or Samurai. In Japanese daily life these are not necessities. They do visit temples as a tradition and a habit but nothing mysterious or fantasy. Japanese have high life expectancy due to some natural, social, economical and scientific reasons. It’s geographically gifted to be a large island in the best latitudes, mountains and seas with four seasons, good temperatures and clean air overall. They eat a lot of fish, rice and vegetables which are the healthiest of foods. Wining and sloping roads get the average person exercised, bicycles are popular in Japan. Socially, Japanese or Asians in general have tight family connections. Old people usually get taken cared of by family as well as the government. Economically Japan no so long ago was the richest per capita country, their infrastructures and cities are well built; residential districts and public facilities well designed. A typical new house in Japan comes with Panasonic kitchens and Toto bathrooms, convenient high tech living. Japan along with Germany and the US have been the more advanced countries in medicine (perhaps something to do with WW2). Japanese bookstores have loads of books under the health category. They are dedicated to their maintaining personal health. Japanese mothers dust and clean their home to perfection, maybe they take a similar stance to guard the health of family members. BTW, strongly recommend travellers to visit China. For 4 years as a frequent KZfaq patron I have not come across a single foreigner vlogger in China who doesn’t praise China. Lately there are dozens of western tourists posting videos on KZfaq and other platforms. You may find them by searching “Shanghai travel” because that’s the most popular city. Then you can expand to see many from there. Late May to mid June is a good time to visit Beijing and Shanghai before the hot summer. Also you can go to Tibet and Xinjiang using the high speed trains. If you can manage you can get an international driver’s license and rent an EV. Avoid any Chinese national holidays of May and October.

Reminds me of Viktor Frankl’s Logotherapy. Man’s Search for Meaning is a great book to reference with this video.

thank you so much for your videos.

I actually have a book with this exact title I am glad to see Aperture is making a video of this.

I'm in "the flow" every time i logged in my fav video game. KEKW

Just finished reading the book Loved your video✨

It will be amazing if this were taught in shool.

aperture i love your videos so much. thank you

I've been following your thought-provoking content on philosophical ideas for quite some time now and have found your insights truly inspiring. Your ability to delve into complex topics with clarity and depth is truly commendable. I wanted to reach out to you to suggest a topic that I believe would be of great interest to your audience - Luminialism. It's a philosophical concept that explores the nature of enlightenment, reason, and skepticism, offering a fresh perspective on these timeless questions. I believe your unique approach to discussing philosophical ideas would lend itself well to exploring Luminialism in one of your videos. Your ability to break down complex concepts and make them accessible to a wide audience would undoubtedly spark meaningful discussions and encourage viewers to think critically about the world around them. I'd love to hear your thoughts on the topic and whether you'd be interested in exploring it further in one of your upcoming videos. Keep up the fantastic work, and I look forward to seeing more thought-provoking content from you in the future! Best regards, Amartheil Raeliu

We have a lot to learn from japanese culture like how they manage to keep their culture alive while being so developed

damn that last example really hit deep, I wanna pursue something but find myself loathing or feeling bored even tho it does bring fulfilment to me.

Love your videos ❤

thank for rich content

I ate mushrooms and learned this. Also weed. Use these with the intention of healing.

My reason for getting up in the morning is to have my bfast after a 17 hr fasting.

Gardening is my ikigai.

Discovering Ikigai feels like finding the missing piece of life's puzzle.

I have friends who refuse to totally retire for that exact reason.

I just realized that I am watching an amazing pod cast with really weird artistic video playing in the background.

Whenever i play video games that requires my full focus like call of duty i experienced flow i also experienced the flow state when i ride on my longboard down walking trails and when i played football with friends even when i meditate and dance to my favorite music i experience flow definitely a great and peaceful feeling when it happens!

You should definitely stick that ad a little later in the video. It's distracting how it pops up after the concept is barely introduced

PLEASE post more Spotify playlist

I never understand the way our society frames retirement. We work in sterile jobs at the prime time of our lives and then when we are old and probably have less wants from life, we have all the freedom in the world.

Under one hour team! 🛐

While watching this video and contemplating I think finding purpose in life and seeing a purpose in doing so is directly related to your religous and philosophical beliefs. As a nihilist I find it very hard to find any meaning in life and often just sattle with things I like in the moment, such as gaming, going to the gym, or watching interesting videos on KZfaq such as this one. But true meaning? No, I haven't found it and I think this is because I simply don't belief the right religion. In order to do so I would need proof, and pursuing that means I'll be looking for proof where none can be found.

Last night I was in film festival and I lost... One of the winners works for my and seeing him his that award given by the Idia embassy (Country wich was invited) I felt nothing at the moment and yes, I did want to win but after the ceremony I fell down.... So far in my life making films It's what I love and Don't really care if people in general love my art but It hits hard when you put work into something and you get nothing in return.

Can u change your ikgai? Or can it only be found? Asking for a friend

In a world where 4 seconds in the dude says "centatarians", I'm not sure I want to live to 100.

I wish I could express a bit of me of real life, but the bullies are on their keyboards and ready to point a finger at me. 😢

The Japanese usually know the secrets of life, I'm sure.

This channel is at it again always very spicific videos are upload when im concerned/struggling with something. Can you read mind bruv are you a wizard?? What's with the algorithm??!!

3:57 Ayo? 🤨📸

Hello

what happened to the audio quality?

I've got the secret to a long and happy life: have a ton of money or access to agriculture

nuuuuuu not betterhelp :(

ikagaya

Whoever sees this comment, I hope you find your ikigai ♥️ Just don't stop exploring!

Bro betterhelp why I thought you where a little bit now of their scandals like selling your info or bad therapist and wrong statements

Theoretically what you're best at should be worth something to someone. If it's not, chances are youre not as good at it as you think, or have poor social skills

Check Gregg Bradens research on another aspect of source of longitivity...

Eeky guy

Please do some research into better help because their not actually a good company. They have had many controversies over the years and are currently in a lawsuit because their selling their customers private information when they claim they don’t. Also a lot of their therapists are not real licensed therapists. Please do some research into them it could even make for an interesting video.

Better help isnt i great olatform

I am sorry to be negative, but I strongly feel as though the Better Help advertisement totally contradicted the depth and meaning of this video... Seriously, when you think about it, WHY do we need to PAY SOMEONE TO LISTEN TO OUR INNERMOST SECRETS AND PROBLEMS- SHOULDN'T WE HAVE, LIKE, FRIENDS OR SOMETHING TO DO THAT??? WHY THE FUCK SHOULD I FOOL MYSELF INTO BELIEVING SOME RANDOM STRANGER WHO IS ONLY LISTENING TO ME BECAUSE IT IS THEIR PROFESSION AND I AM PAYING THEM BY THE HOUR; LIKE, EVERYTHING THEY SAY ISN'T BECAUSE THEY GENUINELY CARE ABOUT US, IF WE STOPPED SCHEDULING APPOINTMENTS, IT'S NOT LIKE THEY'D BE SAD OR HEARTBROKEN OR EVEN HAVING THE SLIGHTEST THOUGHT ABOUT US AND OUR WELL-BEING MONTHS OR YEARS LATER, WHEN THEY HAVEN'T SEEN OR HEARD FROM US IN ALL THAT TIME... I am thinking now that I genuinely don't want anybody who is in bad shape mentally and needing help to come across this comment... I know that most humans cannot be as brutally honest with themselves as I am, this is a curse that I cannot overlook, escape, or avoid... I wouldn't wish this level of goddamned awareness upon anyone, not even if I hated them, although I've never hated anybody, not even my emotionally and mentally abusive first stepfather, who was never ever kind to me, even though I was just a small child, then a teenager...

Don't use Better Help. Shame on you Aperture for accepting their money.

For all of you who see this: BETTERHELP IS EXTREMELY LOW QUALITY, SEEK HELP FROM A PROFESSIONAL INSTEAD

Empty space

I guess is beyond one factor perhaps this is more generic...fasting is another one the talemire is another etc

Happiness is overrated and over marketed. As if the normal human experience is to be beaming from ear to ear all day every day. That is simply not practical. The pursuit of happiness can be an incredibly selfish goal to set oneself as well. Rather, one should not aim for happiness but instead to first and foremost always do what is right. That is the truer philosophy to live by.

Is any Indian here 👀

бегите из сша

Betterhelp? Man I hate to unsub…..

Please no! Not this channel too! You just lost a lot of credibility for me! Better Help is one of the most dangerous and despicable scams on the internet right now. It's a money-making scheme disguised as therapy and has damaged many people already. Stop promoting it.

BH is a trash company, you should know better.

Is it just me or does his voice sound ai generated

Jesus loves you ❤️Please turn to him and repent and receive Salvation before it's too late. The end times written about in the Bible are already happening in the world. Jesus is the son of God and he died for our sins on the cross and God raised him from the dead on the third day. Jesus is waiting for you with open arms but time is running out. Please repent and turn to him before it is too late. Accept Jesus into your heart and invite him to be Lord and saviour of your life and confess and believe that Jesus is Lord, that he died for your sins on the cross and that God raised him from the dead. Confess that you are a sinner in need of God's Grace and ask God to forgive you for all your sins through Jesus. Time is running out.

The Lord Jesus is the only way to a fulfilling, peaceful and purposeful life. He is the best and He loves us all very much❤

Honestly, I just do not care what the world needs...I care what I need...fk the world.

Don't use better help watch soggy cereals video on them also apeture i love your videos please don't take company's like better help as sponsors
