Dave Arnold is a return guest on the podcast this week. He was previously in http://qualitylivingmadesimple.com/how-to-overcome-displacement-in-your-alley-dave-arnold/ (episode #35), in which he talks about his book, "Pilgrims of the Alley."

http://qualitylivingmadesimple.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/COVER-Its-Possible.jpg ()Dave Arnold has written another book: "http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IFVAWXQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00IFVAWXQ&linkCode=as2&tag=josrivblo-20 (It's Possible: How to Thrive, Not Just Survive.)"

He shares the story of how he began the journey in his own life that led to this book, starting with a sermon he was preparing: "The Impossible Becoming Possible."

He refers to the story of Hugo Cabret, who was an orphaned boy that lived in a train station in Paris during the early 1930's. He became engaged in rebuilding a automaton. He deduces that the little mechanical man was just waiting to do what he's supposed to do - waiting for his purpose.

Dave also shares what he calls Destiny Deterrents - those things that try to stop us from fulfilling our destiny.

He has a great quote and lesson:

Well it's time to unlearn and relearn what we've learned.

This reminds me of a quote by Yoda in The Empire Strikes Back:

In closing, he shares a little bit about the Levels of Languishing - those things that cause us to lose vigor or strength.
