Alexander Den Heijer Quotes

Listen to your internal compass and let it guide you.

If we have something to aim for, then the unavoidable struggle will have a sense of meaning to it. Hardship stretches us and enables us to realise our potential. This is how we grow. We don't grow without pressure. But if we are unable to find meaning in hardship; we just wither. Do we see hardship as a meaningless way to make us suffer, or do we see it as a meaningful way to make us stronger?

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. It’s not money that makes us unhappy; it’s our relationship to it. It’s not our partner that makes us happy; it’s our relationship to him or her. Instead of changing the world around us, it may be better to change the way we relate to the world.

You don't inspire people by revealing your super powers; you inspire people by helping them reveal their own super powers.

To live our lives trying to avoid mistakes is one of the biggest mistakes we can make.

Now is always the right time to deal with life. Face it.

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. It leads to laziness and inaction. It slowly dulls the spirit. It makes us stop growing. Change may bring challenges, but with every challenge comes an opportunity to grow and evolve.

The problem with fear is that it suppresses creativity, joy, curiosity, and spontaneity.

Getting to know a diverse group of people leads to a better understanding of yourself.

Too many of us believe happiness is a future event. And before we arrive, we need more money first, have a successful career, find a partner, settle down. And only then we will arrive at the destination of happiness. But when we arrive, we will realise happiness isn't there. Happiness is not found at the finish line. There isn't even a finish line. Life is not a race to be finished; it's a dance to be danced.

He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how.

There’s a saying that goes, ‘The best way out is always through.’ If we want to live without fear, or any other emotion, we must first learn to live with it.

The reason many people suffer is not that life is too tough; it's that they haven't found something worth living for.
