Elle Luna: Mendengar panggilan dalam diri

Elle Luna menulis bahwa ada persimpangan dua arah yang Anda temui di dalam hidup, yakni haruskah dan harus.

Salah satu petikan dari tulisannya:

"Must is why Van Gogh painted his entire life without ever receiving public recognition. Must is why Mozart performed Don Giovani and Coltrane played his new sound, even as the critics called it ugly. Must is why that lawyer in his thirties spent three years writing his first novel only to be rejected by three dozen publishers. He honored his calling, eventually received a “yes,” and that is why John Grisham is a household name today. Must isn’t exclusively for writers and painters and composers, though. Must is why, in the early days, Airbnb sold boxes of cereal to make ends meet because no one would give them money and every conceivable metric said they should quit."

Kita dapat bertemu atau tiba di persimpangan ini berulang kali dalam hidup. Dan setiap kali, kita memilih. Bila Anda yakin bahwa ada hal yang istimewa dalam diri Anda, lalu Anda merasa tiba waktunya Anda memberikan kesempatan terhadap hal tesebut, maka wujudkan atau lakukanlah sesuatu meskipun itu kecil.
