I have gotten to the point in my short lifespan that I feel that I am in a bit of mid-life crisis, so to speak. Albeit at the age of 27. I don't want the 2.5 kids, 2.5 cars and the house in the suburbs type of lifestyle. I want the life that challenges and creates intellectual abilities previously unknown to me. I want to be tested as a person. To go into something not knowing the ultimate outcome, and wanting that challenge. 9-5 is fine for most, but not for me. I want that drive that makes a wall street trader get up at 3:00 in the morning to learn the data that no one else knows. I want a life that I am driven to succeeding in. I want the opportunites to create an environment in which I won't have to vent my frustations here. I want a passionate lifestyle, one that can be rewarding personally and professionally. A lifestyle that I could die tommorrow and not regret what would have been. It is a difficult point in my life to feel unsatisfied in my accomplishments, yet feel that I can accomplish so much more, given my abilities. I am not sure where my journey will take me, but hopefully it will end in a satisfaction that I gave whoever my best possible product of myself.

Well God willing this is a 1/3 life crisis and not a mid life crisis, you are too young for that! In your recent blogs you seem to be challanging yourself, what you think, what you believe and now your worth as you see it. It is OK to push yourself, in reality, who else is going to do it? In life the things that are important drive us, if a change is needed then you have to want that change, no one can want it for you but you have to do it for yourself. If you are successful, then all those you touch benefit.
