“The reason people burn out is not because people are going hard [after God]; it's because they are working and perusing with the wrong spirit-trying to do it in the eyes of men with the wrong reasons; trying to get into a room you are already in.”

[These] wonderful caretakers, doctors, and nurses don't get as much burn-out as people who are more defensive of the feelings and suffering of others.” quote by Matthieu Ricard](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/aaa/matthieu-ricard-4004_burn-out_when-you-see-those-in-healthcare-who-don_221267.jpg)
