“Get good grades, get good education, get a good job and then you will be able to have a happy life”. This is what I was thought at young age to believe in. Now I ask myself, “What is a happy life?”. Is is about family, money, success, sex or friends? There must be something missing in my life because i can’t seem to crack the code to a happy life. I have had it all, from money, success in work, friends, and loved by many, but it seems like its not the solution.

Many people think money will make you happy, my mom for one. Yet someone think that being successful and accepted by many is the key. Well, I have had it all, yet I feel like that's not the solution. Its currently end of 2021 and I'm writing this in hope that one day, my future self will read this and be able to see how far I have become to find the truth to a happy life.

Well, to wrap up my last 5 years very short. I went from Single to being a relationship to having 3 sport cars, 3 houses, land and other amazing assets, to single again. Spent 4 month traveling around Asia and Europe, then back to life again in Thailand. Work with family (Not a good idea). I think it was Gary Vaynerchuk who once said on his pod cast “Don't do what your parents decide what you should do, because if you fail, you will blame them. Instead do what you love, succeed and they will be happy for you.” Well, lesson learned the hard way for me, took me 1 year to realize i can’t work with my parents.

Year 2021 and Covid. Not as bad as I would have thought. Mostly stuck in a 65 sq.m apartment with my lady and her little daughter in Bangkok. My daily routine was boring, but yet rewarding in a way. I studied about crypto currency, metaverse and trading, which I find quite interesting. As I am about to enter a new year, finding a new skill/challenge that doesn't require me to sit in front of the computer, but instead challenge me physically would be great to accomplish. Getting a Divemaster certificate is a challenge and a skill I would like to have under my belt. To be able to isolate yourself from the rest of the world and just be with yourself (with a dive buddy) and explore the seabed. The ocean have always fascinated me, all those beautiful fishes and corrals.

I think I just end this blog here for now…to be continue..

Put a Norwegian and Thai into a blender and I'm the finished product. Love to explore places and talk to animals, even though they don't speak back.
