What is invisible but essential about YOU? or ESADE? or Barcelona?

Every story starts with a “once upon a time……”, my story starts with a “there will be a time……..”

There will be a time when we must look beyond our own existence and consider the legacy we will leave for future generations. For me, this realization came early in my childhood from my deep love and appreciation for the natural world, and a burning desire to make a positive impact on the world around me.

As I pondered my role in the grand scheme of things, I couldn’t help but question whether simply accumulating material possessions, doing some social service, and fulfilling worldly duties was enough. It was then that I came across the words of the revered Indian saint, Sadhguru, who stated that the true test of civilization is whether we leave the world a better place for those who come after us.

After arrival of my beautiful child, this thought became even stronger and I made the difficult decision to leave behind my beloved family, disrupting their and my life for a better world.

It was this sentiment and a need for more awareness on environmental impact in business world that led me to choose Esade for my MBA, as it offered me the freedom to explore my passion, align my values, and find a career that would truly make a difference. Yet, as I soon discovered, this was no easy feat.

The quest to find a purposeful career, one that would allow me to make a real impact, is filled with challenges and obstacles. But I refuse to give up, and instead, continue this journey with a steadfast determination.

If you too dream of a life that transcends the mundane, that seeks to make a meaningful impact on the world around us, then I invite you to join me on this journey. Let us strive for a more purposeful existence, one that enriches our own lives and leaves a lasting and positive impact on the world for generations to come. For as the famous saying goes, “we do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.”
