Quote of the day, 13 April: Blessed Georg Häfner

I’m not leaving today [for the Dachau concentration camp]. So the danger has been postponed for eight days. Perhaps I will be spared the worst. Now, don’t let up on praying. I put all my trust in prayer. And people shouldn’t let up either, as long as I’m not free. Perseverance!

Today I submitted another request for release. I am firmly convinced that God will hear our prayers and set me free again, even though things look bleak at the moment. I have had to endure some difficult days so far, and I wouldn’t wish them on my worst enemy. God has always given me strength.

Blessed Georg Häfner

Letter to his housekeepers from the Gestapo’s detention center in Würzburg

Note: We recall the anniversary of the priestly ordination of Blessed Georg on 13 April 1924 in Würzburg, Germany.

Wintering is the courage to stare down the worst parts of our experience and to commit to healing them the best we can. Wintering is a moment of intuition, our true needs felt keenly as a knife.

When Doubt Creeps In

Ask yourself, ‘What’s the worst that can happen?’

‘Don’t think about what you can’t do. Figure out what you can do. Then do it to the best of your ability.’

‘People often ask me how I have the nerve to make cold calls. First, I’m naturally curious, so I genuinely want to learn from other people. Second, people love to be asked about what they do and, generally, are eager to tell their stories.’

‘I was learning. Every day. That is how you stay fresh and motivated. Always be learning. An important lesson, for sure.’

‘You can do this, I said to myself. You’re smart. You can figure it out. And you can help people by helping them enjoy water.’

‘I’ve figured out a lot of stuff in my life. I can figure this out. And if it turns out I can’t, at least I can put this idea out there, that you can enjoy things that don’t taste sweet.’

‘… Sometimes, if you think too much about the end, you will never get past the beginning.’

‘It’s okay to admit that you have a problem or that you have no idea what you’re doing.’

‘It’s really important to bring your personal story into the brand identity. People associate the brand with a human being and that person’s story. It adds tremendous meaning and value to them.’

‘You have to have a good sense of your own strongest skills and also be willing to acknowledge where you fall a little short.’

‘Minimize risks. Always.’
