“Decide in your heart of hearts what really excites and challenges you, and start moving your life in that direction. Every decision you make, from what you eat to what you do with your time tonight, turns you into who you are tomorrow, and the day after that. Look at who you want to be, and start sculpting yourself into that person. You may not get exactly where you thought you'd be, but you will be doing things that suit you in a profession you believe in. Don't let life randomly kick you into the adult you don't want to become.”

― Chris Hadfield

I've been reading Chris Hatfield's delightful "The Darkest Dark" to my two-year-old daughter at bedtime. This quote sums up a lot of what inspires me about him.
