" I made a choice, many years ago, about the kind of person I wanted to be, and the kind of life I wanted to live. And every day I ask myself if that’s the person I still wish to be. And every day, I say yes. Even when I’m tired. Even when things are going poorly. This is the life I want to live, and this is the way I want to live it. "
