Life is in your hands

 Do you struggle with motivation and energy?  How do you stay motivated in a time where you have to stay at home, not have more then 5 -10 friends or close contacts and practise social distansing? I find it harder and harder, in the beginning of this world wide pandemic I was all fired up in a way. I wanted to be part of the solution (I still do) but when there are so many who brakes the rules, have big parties and don't keep there distance I'm thinking "what's the point?" There has to be point ... doesen't it? I manage to keep my energy level pretty high at my day job, where me and two others are in charge of all protection gear for our whole commune. We have fun at work and with so many people being sick of the covid virus in nursing homes we have so much to do all the time. I'm not saying it's good that people are sick, I'm saying that we don't have time to feel down. When I get home it's different.  It's easier to stay energetic and...

Are you one of these people who takes on everything? Whenever a friend or family member needs something you jump on board and do what you can to help out? This is actually a good quality to have, but you need to know where to draw the line! Don’t jump on board if you’re helping out so your friend can avoid something that frighten him/her or makes them uncomfortable. Be a true friend and help them help themselves. Let them face this fear and do what makes them uncomfortable, there’s way more value in that then when you do things for them. Also this will be a relief for you and your friend in the future, now your friend can handle this task on his/her own and you don’t have to. Make a priority of your own time and help out in the best way for your future and your friends and family’s future. Helping others are important, but help them in a way that will help them for a lifetime!

Excuse me Unskyld Meg Jeg Beklager Lo siento Waan ka xumahay There’s a million ways to apologize and it’s always appreciated. But why is it so hard? Why do our hands shake and voice tremble when we have to say "I’m sorry". Why is it that we all want to hear it but no body wants to say it. Everyone can mess up and make an complete fool of themselves and the one thing that saves you is the apology! Did you lie? Did you make a terrible mistake? Did you raise your voice to someone? Did you make an assumption that was wrong? Apologize!! Say I’m sorry! I messed up!  Please forgive me!!

Everything you think about everyday is what will be your life ... And here I am, on my way to a new apartment in the middle of the city. It will be smaller and more expensive but I will have freedom and  happy neighbors, and that is all that matters right now. For the last three years I've had screaming, paranoid crazy neighbors. And from the day I moved in here I've been looking for a way out. My first night in the apartment the son in the house was having a party, he was 17 years old and was home alone. The boys had a lot of music playing (LOUD) and they where throwing things on my living room window and looking at me from the outside. I had just moved in so I didn't have anything to cower the window with and I was feeling really uncomfortable. I let the landlords know what was going on and they made a call to the boy who started shouting and yelling before they left the house. After that the partying was going on every weekend because the parents left the house and...

I root for all of you who’s searching to find yourself. But you all need to stop looking out there! What you really are looking for is the true you! Your natural way of being! There’s no alternative you, there’s only the person you have become after all those years denying your true spirit. Your spirit is not the part that believes in God, Allah or the all mighty.  Your spirit is your belief in yourself, and as we grow and deny ourselves what we really are searching for (a good and happy life) we lose touch with our true spirit!  If you see yourself as a universe, and that you create what’s in it! All that goes on in your universe only happens to you no one else! If you are angry at someone and curse them you are only hurting yourself, they don’t notice! The one you’re angry at has no idea that you are spending all this energy being angry and they are walking around totally unaware of your feelings and actions! You can call them ignorant towards your unive...

The last 6 months have been packed with experiences and activities, from volunteering to traveling. In June it started with a Facebook group called "pick one plastic a day" and it has taken off. We were about 2000 members at the time and we grew into this massive group in just a few weeks. All of them exited about plastic reduction and garbage picking. I was surprised that so many people could get so involved about picking up other peoples trash, but there it was. What we do to save our planet. The summer was in general HOT in Norway this year, so I spent a lot of time cooling off and being lazy, but I still manage to go for a run every day by the river. It's a little cooler down there so it felt good to run with a little fresh breeze on my face.  I got to spend a lot of time with my family this summer, and I feel so blessed to have these memories to look back on. I've spent more time with my aunt who's now 90 years old, and my littlest niece who's ...

Being in a relationship with someone who's afraid of missing out afraid of not having the best. Someone who believes that someone else might be better for me, is this what I really want is this enough. What if that one can give me more children, more money, more prosperity. How do you survive in such relationship? Do you stay and work things out, do you convince this person that you are the one, nothing better can come to you. Do you constantly prove to this person that being grateful for what you  have will bring you more to be grateful for. Are you afraid of losing this person to another better version of you? All these questions have I been asking myself for the last few years being in a long distance relationship. I have seen it all, lies, cheating, stealing and convincing. There's so much work in a relationship that's "normal" why put in the extra effort in a long distance relationship. You have the power to end it all just by hanging up the phone...

What type of person are you, or what kind of person do you want to be? I ask myself this when I'm interacting with other people. Sometimes people come off as a little blurry so I don't really understand the person they are trying to display. They seem nice and gentle, but they are rough and hard in there voice. Some people are straight up what and who they show you, they don't have any secrets of sides they are trying to hide. Searching for something People are driven by a few things and the basic is certainty and uncertainty, seeking one or the other. You probably trying to figure out what drives you and it can be both, but at separate times. When your life is filled with uncertainty you are probably looking for something certain to hold on to. When life is straight forward and very secure you are probably looking for something uncertain to get your blood pumping and your heart racing. You need a balance in your life between the two to feel good and exited at the same...

It's all about balance. Everything in this world is about balance, from the life giving sunlight to the melting of the polar ice. You can't have one without the other. If you want hot, you also have to accept cold, when you search for darkness it's because of the light and when all you want is to feel good it's from feeling too much pain. Humans build themselves Not many people are aware of the power they possess or how extraordinary they really are, some people sit at home feeling sorry for them selves and can't see how special and unique they are. As a human being on this amazing planet you are one of the most powerful living organisms in the universe. Every living creature on this planet serves a purpose. The difference between humans and everything else is that humans get to choose their purpose. In balance, Off balance Creating a purposeful life is not as easy and you have to have balance in the process. You want to borrow a lot of money to work on some...
