Nothing you don't already know: Remarkable reminders about meaning, purpose, and self-realization

by Alexander Den Heijer

So go out and meet people. Travel. See the world that exists outside your community. It’s enlightening, not just because of the places we see, but because of the people we meet.

The fear of making a mistake is more harmful than the mistake itself.

Now is always the right time to deal with life. Face it. Look life straight in the eye and just know that there may be things that you don’t want to face, but there is nothing that you cannot face.

the most courageous people are not those who are never afraid, but those who are not afraid of feeling afraid.

The way you see yourself is reflected in how you treat yourself.

Blaming others for the way they make us feel is like blaming the mirror for the way it makes us feel. The key is not to blame the trigger, but to look in the mirror, and see what it is about ourselves that makes us feel so uncomfortable and then face it.

The thoughts we don’t question become our limits.

Without strong intention, we become a slave to our habits.

The truth is, if we decide to look for limits we’ll see them everywhere. And if we decide to look for potential we'll see it everywhere, too. It’s all merely a matter of focus.

we cannot control how much we get from life, we can only control how much we give.
