Mind your Inspirations

By nature, we are the most imitative creatures in the known world. We’re drawn to role models, but there’s a massive distinction.

The fool idolizes the model and copies surface actions, like Andrew Tate’s hard fans.

The wise draws energy, drive, and blueprints to pursue their own goals.

Historically, many kung fu styles were modeled on animals’ movements and instincts.

Even Alexander the Great aspired to be like a fictional character (Achilles)

In short, inspiration comes in many forms.

To choose an individual to model your life after, is not about copying them. But rather stealing their energy and translating it into your own action.

So here is a simple method to keep in mind, when choosing an Inspirational character:

1. Whilst picking the character you want to embody. Focus on traits, habits, energy, and mindset, not just fame or wealth.

2. Don’t worry if they aren't good teachers. You are seeking inspiration.

3. Let your model evolve. I started with John Singer Sargent for art, and later switched to Kim Jung Gi for his insane ability to mirror imagination on paper. Growth demands change.

4. Mind the flaws, for humans naturally have them. Extract energy but avoid destructive traits, just because a "character" is cool.

5. Limit yourself to 1-2 models per life aspect. Too many dilute focus. Narrow attention to grow holistically.

Here’s my 2025–2026 lineup (which I'll likely keep for 2026):

Art: Kim Jung Gi - mastery, flow, play.

Entrepreneurship: Sam Ovens - clarity, structure, relentless execution.

Philosophy: Friedrich Nietzsche & Miyamoto Musashi - critical thinking, courage, and deep reflection.

Writing: Alan Watts, Naval Ravikant - precision, concision, and piercing insight.

Physical training: Artem Shirokov - Mutant like strength and power.

Pro tip: Reverse engineer. Study routines, mistakes, breakthroughs, and adapt them into your own way.

Modeling is a shortcut in life. You’re not trying to become them. But to amplify dormant parts of yourself, and gain clarity.

PS: Talk about Clarity. I’ve built a simple and aesthetic system in Notion called the "Clarity Machine". It's about bridging Awarness and Execution with Clarity. comment if you want me to share it..
