Dave Yarnes on Achieving and Maintaining a Fulfilling Life

Dave Yarnes makes his second appearance on the podcast to explain the principles behind his book Ignite Your Passion, Chart Your Course, Own Your Life: The Three Circle Strategy for a Fulfilling Life. Dave defines emotional alignment, the difference between give-up goals and go-up goals, and the keys to obtaining a meaningful and prosperous future.

The Three Circle Strategy:

1. Spirit
2. Skill
3. Self-mastery

Quotable Quotes:

• "If you can't lead yourself, you can't lead others."
• "If you fail to plan, you plan to fail."
• "The greatest act of spiritual warfare is to not quit."
• "Give up your entitlement to understand."
• "God loves us, and He's going to bring us through."
• "Your mind is a tool. Take every thought captive."

Highlights:

• We need balance in all three areas (spirit, skill, and self-mastery). Be great in all three rather than in either.
• Hebrews 5:7
• Jeremiah 17:5
• You can achieve excellence by devoting 10,000 hours to developing a skill.
• Growth can be painful but do not get discouraged and give up.
• You are not alone in your setbacks. Master how to deal with and learn from them.
