5 Gears Intro: Maintaining Peace through presence and productivity when there is never enough time

Bearded Wisdom with Les McDaniel

Want to grow in your purpose and understand your peace? Here's some news for you; you can't achieve that if you constantly live your life in "one gear." Just like a bicycle has different gears for different terrains, we too must shift gears depending on what life throws at us. So, if you don't have peace in your life, it might come down to your inability to shift in and out of the right gears in different situations.

Today's episode is the first installment of our new series on the 5 gears of life. Les shares how we can use the 5 gears plus reverse to stay present and productive when there's never enough time. The goal is to help you understand the gears that come naturally for you and use them to grow into peace and productivity.
