Shilpa Shetty is reading a book called Ikigai: the Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, and it got her thinking.

'Most of the content in the book got me thinking, but this quote by #FriedrichNietzsche really hit a nerve. We all need a reason and a purpose to do something in life... that one thing that really drives us.

<p'It is so crucial to be able to aptly identify and apply this 'reason' to our lives; for it is, sometimes, the only thing that will keep us going and see us through our toughest times.

'There may have been phases when we may have wanted to stop putting in any more effort, but one reminder of 'WHY' we did it in the first place is enough to bring us back on track.

'This 'why' is also the origin of a happy and long life. It gives you something to look forward to... a motive to live your lives by. Have you been able to identify your Ikigai?'
