ERIC KIM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s purpose in life<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For example, I feel my purpose in life is to empower others, using photography as a tool of empowerment.<\/p>\n

How can you use photography as a tool for self-therapy and to find your purpose in life?<\/p>\n

1. What is your purpose in life?<\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

First of all, just ask yourself:<\/p>\n

\n What is my purpose in life?\n<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Just brainstorm, and write down a list of anything that comes to mind. Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t censor yourself, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be humble, and no need to share this list with anyone else.<\/p>\n

Some things I would write:<\/p>\n

The purpose of ERIC KIM\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s life is:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To empower others<\/li>\n
  2. To share information that can empower others (open source<\/a>)<\/li>\n
  3. To discuss the secrets of visual art, what makes a great photograph, and the purpose of art<\/li>\n
  4. To help people conquer their fears in life, and to find more satisfaction and purpose in life (via Stoicism<\/a> and Zen<\/a> philosophy)<\/li>\n
  5. To help others fulfill their personal maximum<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Whatever you write down, don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t think it is dumb. Just be honest, idealistic, and a bit foolish.<\/p>\n

    2. How can you bridge the gap with photography?<\/h2>\n

    Now, how can you use photography as a tool to achieve your life goals, and to fulfill your life\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s purpose?<\/p>\n
