“In order to stay focused, you need to be motivated. In order to stay motivated, you need to know your why!”
Marcel Riemer, Slamming It Out!: How I got shit done in 5* kitchens

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“Prayer is often considered a weakness, a support system, which is used when we can no longer help ourselves. But this is only true when the God of our prayers is created in our own image and adapted to our own needs and concerns. When, however, prayer makes us reach out to God, not on our own but on his terms, then prayer pulls us away from self-preoccupations, encourages us to leave familiar ground, and challenges us to enter into a new world which cannot be contained within the narrow boundaries of our mind or heart.”

“You have only failed if you have completely given up on your goal.”
Marcel Riemer, Slamming It Out!: How I got shit done in 5* kitchens

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“The main problem of service is to be the way without being “in the way.” And if there are any tools, techniques and skills to be learned they are primarily to plow the field, to cut the weeds and to clip the branches, that is, to take away the obstacles for real growth and development.”
Henri J.M. Nouwen, Reaching Out: The Three Movements of the Spiritual Life

Henri J.M. Nouwen
“But Karl Menninger did not accept any of these answers as the right one. His answer was “diagnosis.” The first and most important task of any healer is making the right diagnosis. Without an accurate diagnosis, subsequent treatment has little effect. Or, to say it better, diagnosis is the beginning of treatment. For Karl Menninger, speaking to a group of future psychiatrists, this obviously meant that the most attention should be paid to learning the diagnostic skills of the profession. But when we take the word diagnosis in its most original and profound meaning of knowing through and through (gnosis = knowledge; dia = through and through), we can see that the first and most important aspect of all healing is an interested effort to know the patients fully, in all their joys and pains, pleasures and sorrows, ups and downs, highs and lows, which have given shape and form to their life and have led them through the years to their present situation.”
