In this chapter, the speakers discuss the concept of discernment and how it applies to making important life decisions. They explain the process of deeply thinking about a decision for 15 minutes a day for 30 days, rather than waiting for inspiration. They also share their personal experience of leaving a comfortable job to pursue a different role.
