The career path that we choose is influenced by a lot of factors - our mindset, goals, passion, and most especially the circumstances that surround us. We have a vision of where we want to be, but sometimes, we take a different route, we take a detour.

In this episode of On Purpose, Jay Shetty shares several mistakes we unconsciously make that hinder our character growth and what we can do to correct them.
