The best life is with the insanely audacious goals! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2023/02/07/what-do-you-desire-to-achieve-in-life-before-you-die-2/

First of all, one gym session, one lift. At most, do two.

A way you can pair it is doing a very heavy rack pull (7 plates, and a 10), and then do a floor bench press afterwards (the pins are the same height!)

We waste too much time at the gym!

Just spent the last two days in LA, at UCLA, and I’m feeling insanely inspired. Why? Some thoughts:

The first observation that I have made is that it looks like media, entertainment, shows, cinema film vlogs, are the future. Why? Let us just look at all of the advertising and the new products; all of the new interesting digital cameras are all centered around video and vlogging, and also making cinema. Think about the new compact canon cinema camera, and also the new Panasonic Lumix cameras which are phenomenal for vlogging and video. And cinema.

It doesn’t matter who you are, it looks like everybody loves media. For example, all nerds like to watch TV shows, cinema, films, entertainment etc.

Also if you think about all age groups, whether it be newborn kids, kids, toddlers, teenagers, adults, middle-age people, the elderly, etc.; everybody watches YouTube, and or Netflix or something like that.

Everyone has different life goals and different life pursuits. For myself, I am interested in directing our energies towards things that we can actually do ourselves, with no gate keepers, no restrictions, 100% freedom and control.

It seems that the most straightforward answer then is having the ability to record videos, and just upload them online, whether it be to YouTube or your own self hosted videopress.com account (linked with your WordPress.org Website Blog) via WordPress.com

First of all, the simplest and most straightforward way to build your own solo media empire is just making a website blog via bluehost.com and installing wordpress.org. Own your own domain. Ideally your first name last name .com, or you could just make it your first name last name photo .com, or your first name last name photography .com.

For example, I own Erickim.com, Erickimphotography.com, as well as Erickimphotography.com/blog.

In the very long term, your domain name, and your website name, and the .com domain will be critical.

Why .com? To me it is the only legitimate domain name, something that everyone can actually remember. Let us consider google.com, facebook.com, twitter.com, apple.com, amazon.com, etc.

Have the courage! https://erickimphotography.com/blog/2023/01/25/just-share-your-experiences-and-wisdom-with-others/

Once you’re successful, then what?

I say then the final step, and moving forward, invest your energies on innovation, for the sake of elevating humankind!

What type of innovation? Anything. For example, there is still much innovation to be had in the realm of diet health fitness, human physiology, weightlifting approaches and techniques, and also in the realm of ethics.

Success is not being a billionaire, or building and selling an IPO and $1 billion company, or $1 trillion company.

I say success is simple; success is when you had a few life goals, and you met them, and maybe you even superseded them. Also, success is sleeping 8 to 12 hours a night, feeling great, high muscle mass, low body fat percentage, strong muscles, courage, ability to lift insanely heavy weights, not using your iPhone, and not owning and having AirPods.

Also, success as being self-employed. Sole proprietor. Also maybe success is not having any employees. And no managers.

I think in modern-day times, a lot of young people are reticent to having kids because they are fearful that it will impede their personal freedom and happiness. Also, maybe the thought that having a kid will be an impediment to their personal productivity, and artistic output.

On the contrary, your kid is the ultimate artistic creation. And also, I would say that after having Seneca, I am at least 10,000 times more inspired, motivated, artistic and creative. Also more active.

Philosophy simply means love of wisdom, or the love of pursuing more wisdom.

But what is “wisdom“? I think wisdom is simply not making foolish life decisions. To make more wise life decisions, which aid you in your own personal desired outputs and end stages, and end states.

For example, just some sort of experimental knowledge in the realm of diet health and fitness for me, I seek to become more demigod in my physique, and also my strength. Therefore, after many years and decades of experimentation, self experimentation, currently speaking I best prefer intermittent fasting, no breakfast no lunch, and during the day only water and black coffee. And also weightlifting while fasted. And also, the best type of training as one rep max, only single repetitions. My sole goal is to just keep increasing the maximum weight I possibly can lift, once.

Also innovation in terms of new approaches and techniques to weight lifting include my atlas lift, or squat lift hold, and also, one rep max rack pulls. I just did 7 plates, a 25 and a 2.5 pounder on each side for my atlas lift (730 pounds) and I feel insanely great.

Having more interesting questions. For example, thinking to yourself, what is truly your end goal and state and desired outcome for fitness, diet health, physiology, etc.?

For example, posture. I think a lot of people lecture on having “better“ posture as just a technique and a form. However, my personal theory is that it is more hormonal, and also, more about your muscles.

For example, when I am attempting an insanely heavy lift, at the gym, let’s say my yesterday 730 pound atlas lift, before actually doing the actual lift, when I walk around, go to the bathroom and pee, go out to drink some water, and just move around, I find myself towering above everyone else. Maximally standing straight, chin high, and looking toward the clouds in the ceilings. Also my chest insanely upright. 6 foot tall.

And therefore, perhaps a finding is that when my hormones are high, my testosterone and adrenaline is high, it actually aids you and your posture. Perhaps a lot of modern men who are hunched over or simply suffering from low testosterone, and weak muscle mass.

Therefore, through your own personal life and life experimentation, and
