Ikigai
A Japanese concept of finding fulfilment or purpose in life.
As simply as possible it represents the intersection of four ingredients in life:
What you love,
What the world needs,
What you can be paid for, and
What you are good at.
If your working life can be covered by all those areas that is ikigai.
The best diagram I found to describe this is at betterup.com:

And the best description of the philosophy of ikigai is at Positive Psychology:

This website also has other pages looking at quotes, books and exercises to find your ikigai - well worth a look if this is of interest to you.

Thanks for listening,
