Finding Your Ikigai Book Novels & Stories

It wasn’t until we entered our first lockdown, that I found myself furloughed and decided to give something a go to keep my ever busy and flustered mind, calm. So I decided to write a novel. I cast aside the negativity from my schoolteacher and threw myself into my imagination and created Finding You. Sadly, my furlough didn’t last as long as I had hoped, after all, I welcomed the break, and soon enough I was thrust back into the high-pressured work life I had always known and my book had to take a back seat, however now it has finished. I have completed my first novel and stuck a middle finger up at my English teacher who impacted my 15-year-old former self.

You can find it by searching on my name❤️ Hope you will enjoy the book and don't forget to leave a good review after. Much love/ Melan

It seemed she wanted me to go close. “We don't even know what kind of book it is. What kind of book floats?” I responded, trying to make sense of whatever was going on. “You don't actually need to know, just find out the truth that's why you're here isn't it?” I nodded, determination forming in my eyes. That was truly the reason why I was here. I found out the truth. I immediately rushed towards the place where the book had settled, and then the pages began to flip on its own.

They all then started to make rude about that. But when they were talking about that, Neu then started thinking about something and he asks them about their idea "Hey since there were a lot of books here. Do you think that maybe we should just take the first word on each book title? Want to try it?" Maybe it was not impossible that it was the answer. So Hikari asks Neu which rack that they need to search first. It's true that there were a lot of racks there. It will be hard for them to search at every rack there. Neu then says to them that maybe they should just start it from the first rack

Jake walked to his laptop and googled a whole lotta crazy scenarios like schezophrenia, personality disorder and even crazy itself but none of it was completely relating to what was happening to him. “Shit!” He closed his laptop and that's when he saw it. Lying just an inch away from behind the laptop; its tattered edges and broadness with the dark old cover and the distinct golden embossed symbol on top of it of the pentagram. The book.

She said, instantly letting her guard down around me, which was refreshing, “What did you want?” “Just wanted to check up and see how you were doing.” I responded, sliding and starting my second cup. “Ah, well, I am doing fine, just researching,” Mia stated, raising a book onto the table, “I want to try and help Risa.” The book was a large one, with the title reading. ‘The State of the Brain Under Stress’ written by Hikari Mizutani. The name sounded familiar, much like the Howard guy, but I couldn’t put my finger on it.

Except for Eli. He was sitting at register three, legs kicked up on the counter, sipping coffee from a thermos shaped like a rocket ship. “Did we swap personalities?” she asked, setting her bag down. “I couldn’t sleep,” he said. “So I figured I’d alphabetize the self-help books by level of delusion.” Callie arched a brow. “What’s top of the list?” “‘Manifesting for Millionaires.’ Right above ‘Confidence in Six Minutes or Less.’”

She decided to document her journey and insights in a book—a heartfelt memoir that would serve as a guide for future generations. With great care, Luna poured her wisdom onto the pages, sharing her personal struggles, triumphs, and the profound lessons she had learned. She weaved together stories of her own experiences, anecdotes from the people she had met along the way, and the transformative power of authenticity. The book, titled "Embracing True Colors: A Journey of Authenticity," was published and received with great enthusiasm. Its impact spread far and wide, touching the lives of individuals who sought guidance and inspiration on their own paths to self-discovery.

If only I had known that Jane would come to him, I should have come to him first, for I have first known him, he belonged to me. ‘Believe, the simple little things of today might be the bigger things tomorrow. ’ she said and pulled a book from the bookshelf; Ikigai - The Japanese Secret to a Long and Happy Life, and handed the book to me. ‘Open it to whatever page,’ I then opened the book, page 66, the first thing I read was, Live an Unhurried Life. ‘What do you see?’ she asked. ‘It says, Live an Unhurried Life.’

So after eating breakfast, which a girl bought to me, I was staring at the riddle. After no luck, I tried to match the riddle with my life. 'I am what sometimes bring you joy and sometimes sadness.
