Alexander Den Heijer Quotes

But in reality, it’s the way we relate to things that matters. It’s not social media that makes us depressed; it’s our relationship to it.

Instead of changing the world around us, it may be better to change the way we relate to the world.

Life is not a race to be finished; it's a dance to be danced.

Most people fear change because change brings challenges and challenges bring discomfort. People don't like discomfort, because they are attached to the way things are. Comfort is addictive.
