Today we set the limits of our projects, and that is something that has never happened before.

There is a popular belief that life is built in stages, “steps“ you should make to shape your future. A learning phase, entrepreneurship… But what if I told you this does not exist? What if I told you that, in fact, you are in the same phase at all times throughout your life?

I’ll give you a very clear example: competencies in education (at least in spain) are “trending topic”, that is no more than the different abilities a student must have over their learning phase… But here I find a clear inconsistency: Learning phase? Did you stop learning at some point in your life? Did we come to a stage in our life where we stop experiencing?

No. Entrepreneurship, exploring , learning , maturity… All these “phases” that make up our lives are not such but parallel paths that are present at all times, are the roads that cross your mind every time you decide to take a step front. The important thing is this: take a step forward.

All this can be extrapolated to any field or any moment of your life, both personal and professional (Is there such a distinction?). We are nowadays in a time in which we must believe we have the ability, tools and resources to do what we want: you are the tool, and the resources are your surroundings.

There is just one thing able to change the course of everything: Innovation. By innovating web create, change and explore new horizons. It is the turning point that everyone, in their life or their project, need to do to get new results. Whether these results are better or worse, always will mean something new, and that will always be positive because they will entail meeting with our old friends: Exploring, Learning… Do you remember them?

As part of the initial group of “creators” of Mapmakers, I accepted to innovate my routine, I agreed to explore new horizons, I agreed to learn how to do all this and much more… I agreed to step into a new adventure that is about to write. The most important thing is to make, to create, to make decisions, whether right or wrong they will take us to new places. And for that will always pay off.

This article is full of questions with a single intention: for you to make them to yourself, and for you to try to respond them with your exploration. We must get involved in new adventures, creating new things, we must forge our path with experiences that will lead us to a “state” that is worth: satisfaction. But, be warned, this can be addictive. The more you explore, the more curious you will become, the more you get involved into the unknown, the more you will want to know. Are you ready?

Thanks for reading,
