5 Gears - 3. Navigating your 3rd and 2nd Gear Tendencies

Are you a confident driver? Think of the craziest road you've ever driven on; how well did you manage the chaos, the constant honking, and shifting of gears? If you are like most drivers, the experience left you sweating, fuming, and overwhelmed. But if you're a competent driver, your skills made for a worthwhile driving experience.

Life is like driving through a chaotic highway. You need a relatively calm head to enhance your mood and manage the vehicle of thoughts cruising through your brain.

In today's episode, Les tackles gear two and three in the 5 gears plus reverse series. He also explains why we need to embrace the twists and turns in our journey through life because life is not a straight line.
