The Crossroads of Should and Must: Find and Follow Your Passion by Elle Luna
A beautiful, visually & intellectually, straight to the point pep talk on honoring that voice within to learn and do not what you should, but rather what you must.

1. "How long will you wait to honor who you are?...It is here, standing at the crossroads of Should and Must, that we feel the enormous reality of our fears, and this is the moment when many of us decide against following our intuition, turning away from..."
"Must is who we are, what we believe, and what we do when we are alone with our truest, most authentic self...Must doesn't accept compromises...To choose Must is to say yes to hard work and constant effort, to say yes to a journey without a road map or guarantees...Choosing Must is the greatest thing we can do with our lives."
2. Time is one of the most priceless gifts we will ever be graced with in our lives. But the way we spend that time lies in our hands.
"You make time for what you want. If you're not prioritizing the things you say you care about, consider the possibility that you don't actually care about those things...What do you want? Do you know?...It turns out that the more intimate we are with what we want, the more self-aware we will be about how we spend our time."
3. Figuring out your calling is a lifetime journey & destination, one that calls us to be our most complete selves and in turn lifts and changes the world around us.
"All too often, we feel that we are not living the fullness of our lives because we are not expressing the fullness of our gifts...Must eludes you because once you hear it speak, once you know what it is and what it wants...it is difficult, if not impossible, to forget it. When you know why you are here - what you were put on this earth to do - it is challenging to go back to life as you knew it and be satisfied...And this is why this journey is fascinating, intoxicating, and downright intimidating."
