PROPERTY INVESTORS: How our obsession with Onceness will help you get ahead!
In the ONCE office we are obsessed with living our best life. That, and helping our clients do the same, of course. So you can image our delight when we recently discovered the Japanese philosophy of ikagai, which is the subject of neuroscientist Ken Mogi's new book, The Little Book of Ikagai; the Essential Japanese Way to Finding Your Purpose in Life.
The word ikagai literally consists of "iki" (to live) and "gai" (reason). Put simply, it is a Japanese word for describing the pleasures and meanings of life. And yes, we're obsessed and recommend you read it immediately.
Onceness
While the book is filled with ah-ha moments, one pertinent concept which particularly stood out to us was that of "Embracing Onceness"
The Japanese concept "ichigo ichie" literally means 'one time, one encounter'. Referring to the appreciation of the passing character of any encounter with people, things or events in life. Meaning that because an encounter is fleeting, it must be taken seriously.
So, whilst Mogi's book is full of reasons to stop and smell the roses, our key take-away is to treat everything we do with a sense of importance and carry out every actions with purpose. Whether it's doing our job or simply making a pot of tea. Take price in the small decisions and recognise everything we do is an opportunity to bring happiness.
With this inspiring concept in mind, I'm so proud of the passion and dedication that each and every one of the ONCE by Laming Property team brings to our clients daily. I truly believe I work with the best of the best in the property management business. We're obsessed with finding a better way to do things - with efficiencies and economies for our clients. Which is why ONCE was borne in the first place.
