“If someone told me that I could live my life again free of depression provided I was willing to give up the gifts depression has given me—the depth of awareness, the expanded consciousness, the increased sensitivity, the awareness of limitation, the tenderness of love, the meaning of friendship, the appreciation of life, the joy of a passionate heart—I would say, ‘This is a Faustian bargain! Give me my depressions. Let the darkness descend. But do not take away the gifts that depression has dredged up from the deep ocean of my soul and strewn along the shores of my life. I can endure darkness if I must; but I cannot live without these gifts. I cannot live without my soul.”

“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.”

Astronaut Chris Hadfield’s answer to the question “Any advice to a young person who wants to get into this field?”, from his spectacular reddit IAmA 

This is about as good as advice can get. Really inspiring.

“Ghandi says love is the force of nature. That means despite how people may choose to treat you, showing them compassion can still change things; if not for them, then for you. When you show that kindness to someone else, you remind them and yourself that love in its simplest form still exists in the world, while your actions define it for those who have never known it. People want the best, hope for better, but prepare for the worst; why not give them something to believe in?”

-There is no secret ingredient. To make it special, you just have to believe it is special.

-Inner peace.

-One often meets his destiny on the road he takes to avoid it.

-Quit. Don’t quit. Noodles. Don’t noodles. You are too concern of what was and what will be.

-The dead exist in the past…


- Away from you I’m evil
