What should today’s entry be about? I have been teetering in what exactly I should use this blog for, should it be a journal, a discussion board, or a place for me just to tell stories and allow whomever wants to comment run amuck? I guess that I could just spill on the screen and see what comes of it. I think that’s I will do.
My name is Bryce Prescott; I am a 30 year old mortgage broker that lives in Salt Lake City, UT. I am a twice married, once divorced, father of two daughters, step dad to one son. I am a follower of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and served a full-time mission in the country of Brazil for two years. My formal education consists of a few semesters of Spokane Falls Community College and likewise at Brigham Young University. I have gone to school formally, but my education in business and such has come from a variety of different ventures that I have been a part of. As a mortgage broker I have been originating loans for a number of years and have seen the literal play out in my life of either feast or famine. Before that I was a pawn in the ski industry, taking jobs in various rental shops as a diversion to feed an addition that I have of snow and the winter season. Skied A LOT…it was fun. Truth be told, I would love a return to that industry...I kept gambling that I could make it into the inner circle of people that can actually make a career of working at a resort. Either it wasn’t in the cards or I wasn’t patient enough to wait my turn. Either way, life happened in the mix of it and here I am. Once I started my career as a mortgage broker I have ran a company, been apart of the starting of a real estate brokerage, cut out of that same deal, and now built my own business to try to make this work the way that I am hoping.
As I recount these happenings in my life, what I see is that all this really has nothing to do with who I am. This past year I have dealt with life changes and circumstances that have really forced me to take a hard look at who I am and what I want out of life. The thing about mistakes is that once you make them you have absolute knowledge of the outcome, and if you allow it, that knowledge can guide you to never take the first step that lead to the mistake in the first place. Absence does make the heart grow fonder… The past is the past, and although the consequence of the past will always be there the outcome of the future is still up for grabs. I firmly believe that.
I consider myself fairly opinionated, yet I am always interested in why people feel the way they do just as much as what they think. I am also a somewhat sensitive creature, which I believe is a trait that stems from my desire to be thorough. Looking at all possible interpretations, hoping that those around me will do the same to me…Being thorough has helped me to succeed in the different projects to which I have been a part. Also, my ability to adapt and adapt quickly to what is around me has helped me rise to the top. What has lead to my failure in my various projects is my own selfishness and lack of patience to the desired result that I want. I get very shortsighted at times and it has gotten the best of me and the most inopportune times. I can go into more detail of that later.
Anyway, as time goes on so will my ramblings. I love life and love the release of that writing gives me. Day three… OUT.
