“No good work is ever done while the heart is hot and anxious and fretted.” Olive Schreiner

I couldn’t agree more! We’re fond of a related quote that “The success of an intervention depends on the interior condition of the intervener.” Bill O’Brien

And, the assertion that you can’t do good work if you’re not in good shape internally has me mulling over the question “What is good work?”
