A lot of frustrated educators can alleviate their pain by learning to love the detours and obstacles that come their way. This often means embracing options other than their current one, and making the most of those options. Tune in to hear how Option B can be just as amazing as Option A in your professional life when you learn how to work it just right!
Quotables
It’s your reality now and you have to deal with it
Sometimes its your plan A for a season or a moment
Allow the plan to work itself
Dominoes have to fall in a particular order and, more importantly, a specific time frame
Plan B isn’t so bad and most often my plan B becomes my best plan A scenario
It might not look like what you want, but it might be the best thing for you
It might not be what you want right now, but it might be the cut through road to where you cannot wait to be
“Life is what happens to you while you are busy making other plans”- John Lennon
Plan within reason, but don’t put blinders on to what is happening around you
