We all feel that we are capable of more. But few dare to live as the heart asks. How do they do it? And how can you find and follow your destiny? The artist El Luna writes about this in her book Between Necessary and I Want. The book was published by the publishing house MYTH and is full of colorful illustrations by the author. Briefly about what's under the cover.

Do I need or want?

There are two paths in life: I must and I want. Every day we choose which road to take.

It is necessary - this is the path that your loved ones advised you. You feel that this is not your path, but you go, because it does not frighten you. True, usually people at the end regret not looking for another road. After all, they could do something more for the world … But they were too scared.

The Way I want is what you really want. You listen to your heart and fulfill your dreams. And you feel that you are leaving a trace in this world. Yes, this road requires courage from you, but you are happy to follow it.

Which road are you taking?

About where it came from

Since childhood, everyone around us constantly says what we need to do. Something we accept, something we openly challenge. Growing up, we ourselves decide how to live. But, sometimes, everything turns out quite differently. We listen to a wise mother and smart uncle much longer than we should. And we find ourselves on the path of a must.

What if I don't remember what I want?

Have you forgotten how to hear your inner voice? Yes, yes, exactly the one who whispers dreams of travel, of his own book, and for some reason that one should throw a rotten tomato at a nasty neighbor. It may not be worth throwing rotten tomatoes, but you need to listen to the voice. Stock up on stickers and write down all the stupid, crazy and frightening desires in them. It turns out that the more openly we admit our desires, the more consciously we spend our time.

But how do you get started?

You don't need to rush headlong into the unknown, quit your job and have fifty cats, since you love them. Just spend a little of your time every day on yourself, on your desires. So, step by step, you will come to the life you dream of.
