Are you driving through the highway of life on automatic or manual transmission? The difference determines whether you have less or more control over your life. If you're on an automatic transmission, you can’t control how you react to life's challenges. However, when you trade autopilot mode for a manual transmission, you become more intentional with your choices. And the more you take control, the faster you will drive through your life, easily making decisions on your own terms.
In today's episode, Les dives deep into how we can learn to embrace the healthy gears and drop the unhealthy gears in our daily life. He explains that if you want to live a more intentional life, you can't be on autopilot. Always have your hand on the gearshift and adjust when necessary.
