COT: Bet on Yourself. YHC explained about his journey out of military service – job hunting. YHC was offered a job but turned it down because it wasn’t the right fit – and not in alignment with passions and purpose. The decision sends additional anxiety to take a sure thing but not go for it – but YHC recognized you have to know your value and know what you can offer. YHC encouraged all pax to do the same – look within, know what they’re capable of, and align to the things where they can provide the most value.
