Reality and Dream Misalignment

Lately I have been a little bummered out. I typically am an up-beat and optimistic person, yet lately have been getting down each day. Over the past couple weeks I have tried to pin-point what it is exactly that is bothering me. It most likely is a handful of variables, but I believe the main portion is from the current misalignment between where I want to be in life and where I currently am.

I have lived in Salt Lake City 6 years as of this August. I love Salt Lake and I consider it my home … yet I am ready to move on. I am ready to move geographically, start a new adventure, try a new career, go back to school, meet new friends, learn a new language….. something…. something other than what I am doing here.

It isn’t that I am not happy here; it is just the point that there is more to life than what is entailed within one city / state / country. The completely frustrating aspect is I yearn for something new, but for some odd reason I can’t quite seem to get all the “ducks in a row” to make things happen. And I think I realized that maybe there is a reason for me to be waiting. I don’t know what the future entails but I do believe that things happen for a reason. Perhaps I need to consider more options. Perhaps I need to stick around because a new leaf will turn in Utah. Perhaps I have yet to make a contact that is necessary to open a door. I don’t know. I guess I will keep on brainstorming and hope that soon a new opportunity will come my way.

    Congratulations on your inviting and informative blog.


    I noticed you are interested in venture capital as well. I have recently started a blog on PE investmens for small investors thru listed PE funds. To me, this subject has been of particular interest as I used to work for a FoF PE house which only allowed instituional to participate on PE performance.



    I'm interested in any kind of feed-back on my blog and would like to implement constructive suggestions (also in terms of language).



    If you like my blog, I would be honored if we linked to each other's sites.



    Best wishes from Switzerland,

    Simon

    In Philly there are bolted bridges and tons of bouldering in surrounding areas. Skiing sucks...Gunks are 2.5 hours away though. Lots of interesting people. Can walk everywhere. Philly is a cool place. You should go to Australia though. You would seem like youd have a good time there.

    I understand, and I would love to move too. I'm thinking Spokane maybe. There are a lot of people with collies up there that do herding, which I want to do with my collies. Anyway... moving is good. I have lived in SL since I was 7 years old. Maybe in a few years we will pick up and move.
