2 - A Detour Doesn't Mean You're Lost

Andy Jacks
About this episode

Just because you take a detour doesn’t mean you’re lost. Some journeys take longer and are more challenging. But we can make it. In life and in the classroom, our perception of our ability to affect the journey is what really matters. This episode reflects on time I almost was lost at sea and a discussion of how the perception of control affects our lives. Share your thoughts with me on social media @_andyjacks. Read the supplemental blog post here: https://andyjacks.com/2021/02/01/a-detour-doesnt-mean-youre-lost/
