At the Beginning of this Enterprise

I have recently been trying to fight that voice and have been working to just dive all in. In this context, I feel it is important to remember we very rarely start from zero. We all have expertise and if you have felt compelled to pursue a new desire or want, then you should do it. Learn that new skill, start that new project and grow as a person. I have also been inspired by my little sister who runs a Boston sports blog. She has just dove into the project and so I'm deciding to follow with my own project.
Sometime last month, I decided that I want to write more. So, I am starting this blog. A while ago I did a blog while I was working for Unite for Sight in Ghana, that was under A PreMedLife. I shared my thoughts and experiences while I was out experiencing the joy of the country of Ghana. It was a nice way to summarize my thoughts and ideas and I felt like I want to do this again. I’ll probably repost and share those experiences on this blog because they were really fulfilling and perspective shifting. Along with that this blog will contain my musings on lots of topics that I find interesting. I am in no way an expert on all the areas of my musings, but I still think that it is vital to share well-articulated thoughts and ideas.
Second, I want to interview people. There are so many interesting people and I just like learning what makes them do the things they do and how they arrived at the places they are at now. I might transcribe these interviews or add them as a podcast or audio file, we'll see. Currently outside of my research at the University of Utah and spending time with my lovely wife, Emily, and my Black Labrador Retriever puppy Boston, my time is consumed with the pursuit of medical school and medicine. I have been building a personal collection of old medical textbooks, some from before the American Civil War. So, hopefully a portion of these interviews that I will be transcribing or recording and adding a link to are going to be with medical doctors on their journey through medicine. I want to interview all sorts of specialists and individuals at different stages of the path. Hopefully this will build a repository of medical school advice and thoughts that can help demystify that process or at least add more tangible data point to the discussion. It will in no way be a road map to medical school and into the field of medicine. It is just my path and the discussions I have had. Maybe that portion of this blog will spin off and become it's own thing but right now it's going to be under this blog.
I’m also using this space as my personal lifestyle blog. I enjoy sharing my perspective and my thoughts on lots of topics and ideas. I’m not an expert. These are just my thoughts on issues and my ideas on things that I do in my life. I believe that if you have to record and articulate a thought then your mind inherently finds the flaws in that perspective or opens your mind to the adjacent possibles. I am going to share my thoughts on dog training since Emily and I just adopted Boston. I hope that it will be an honest take on dog training with my thoughts on training a puppy in an apartment. I also want to share my opinion of books that I am reading and movies I have watched. I haven't really shared much about my life and now I want to share a little more. In my opinion, it doesn’t matter if people are receptive or not. This is for me and me alone. I just hope that my thoughts and perspectives on life will help people dealing with similar problems or circumstances.
With that I am entering into this new enterprise of writing and personal blogging. I hope you enjoy this as much as I enjoy writing and sharing my thoughts and ideas. If you want to share your thoughts or opinions, please reach out. I am more than happy to have other individuals on this blog sharing thoughts and giving perspectives.
Have an awesome day. Stay in the Gain.
