When you have children, it is very easy to expect too much from yourself. Stay calm. Be patient. Always know what to say. Never lose your temper. Never get it wrong. The longer I am a father, the less I believe in that kind of parent. I think much more about something else now: what a child feels next to us, especially when the day has not gone well.
OBSERVATIONS & EXPLAINERS

I write about family, life in Norway, wellbeing, FitLine, personal growth and business. Here you will find personal stories, observations and answers to questions I have researched for myself.
The hardest decisions for me are not the ones with two clear options. The difficult ones are when I do not know what will happen next but still have to decide. Over time, I stopped waiting for complete clarity and started looking at those situations differently.
After moving, I started looking at stability differently. Before, it was easy to connect it with work, income, a familiar city and knowing how everything around you works. When the country changes, part of that has to be rebuilt. That is when you see more clearly that a family is safer when it has more than one thing to rely on.
I have been thinking about quitting smoking for a long time. Not for a week or a month. I just kept finding reasons to put it off. At some point, I got tired of hearing those reasons from myself.
In my service business, customers often did not know exactly what they needed. They only knew that a printer had stopped working, the office needed equipment or there was a problem that had to be fixed. Asking the right questions, understanding the situation and suggesting a sensible option was our job. I look at FitLine recommendations in much the same way.
I want this business to generate income. But for me, it is not only about money. I have understood the basic idea of network marketing for a long time. What is different now is that I am actually trying to build it consistently and learning skills I had hardly used in practice before.
When you live in another country, it is very easy to compare everything with the way things worked back home. I do that less now. Not because everything in Norway is better. I have simply learned that many things have their own logic, and it makes more sense to understand that logic first.
