I say, instead, just think about what you are internally motivated about.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, study children. They are internally motivated by curiosity, learning, discovering the world, and discovering physics \u00e2\u20ac\u201d input and reaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. First, become physiologically strong<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-video wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-videopress\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"VideoPress Video Player\" aria-label='VideoPress Video Player' width='1180' height='664' src='https:\/\/videopress.com\/embed\/pQj07oYw?cover=1&amp;autoPlay=1&amp;loop=1&amp;muted=1&amp;persistVolume=0&amp;posterUrl=https%3A%2F%2Ferickimphotography.com%2Fblog%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F06%2Feric-kim-cooks-short-ribs-galbi-2_mov_std.original.jpg&amp;preloadContent=metadata&amp;useAverageColor=1&amp;hd=0' frameborder='0' allowfullscreen data-resize-to-parent=\"true\" allow='clipboard-write'><\/iframe><script src='https:\/\/v0.wordpress.com\/js\/next\/videopress-iframe.js?m=1770107250'><\/script>\n<\/div><figcaption><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/24\/i-love-short-ribs-galbi\/\" data-type=\"post\" data-id=\"409910\">GALBI<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it is impossible to pursue your life passion without first being physiologically healthy. When I talk about physiological health, I mean sun exposure, time outdoors, fresh air, interaction with fellow human beings, great sleep, and physical strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A simple life experiment: just rent an ideal Airbnb or a hotel somewhere desirable for a week or two, and see how it affects your health and your mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, get into <a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/powerlifting\/\">powerlifting<\/a>. A single one rep max sumo deadlift attempt once a week is key.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4.

Zen means, empty mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, get rid of any mental or physical irritants which bother you. This could mean, toxic people, toxic ideas, toxic social media, toxic news, etc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Also, spend some time for yourself, by yourself.

It literally just means \u00e2\u20ac\u0153teacher\u00e2\u20ac\u009d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I like the saying, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153When one teaches, two learn.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The easiest way to share your thoughts and learnings is just on your own personal blog, on YouTube, or make your own podcast (I like the \u00e2\u20ac\u0153Anchor\u00e2\u20ac\u009d app).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The biggest upside of making your own personal blog is that you have 100% freedom. You cannot be censored.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. The meaning of your life just might be photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My number one thought today is that after all of this, my number one Archimedes lever is photography. It is that which I am most interested in and curious about, passionate about, and can never tire of. For me, making photos is akin to breathing, or eating meat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Turbocharge your photography<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So assuming that photography is your life mission, how to maximize it? I say go on more trips, adventures. Travel more, whether internationally or domestically. It doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t have to be expensive, far, or inaccessible. You can just go on a simple road trip, rent a nice Airbnb, or even go tent camping.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">10. What is the end?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The end is your own personal death. But I say, while you\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re still alive, keep building your legacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ERIC<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">LIVE MORE<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the few, the intrepid, and the brave:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/workshops\/\">ERIC KIM EXPERIENCES<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">THINK DEEPER.<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/24\/how-to-become-a-more-motivated-photographer\/\">How to Become a More Motivated Photographer<\/a><\/li><li><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/2022\/06\/24\/how-to-discover-your-life-passion\/\">How to Discover Your Life Passion<\/a><\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/erickimphotography.com\/blog\/\">MORE ON BLOG<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>If this sparked any interesting ideas within you, feel free to forward to a friend!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dear friends, some thing that a lot of us are searching for is to discover our life\u00e2\u20ac\u02dcs mission.
