Part inspiration and part road map, It's Possible: Learning How to Thrive (Not Just Survive) in Life by Dave Arnold is a powerful yet easy read. We are reminded that we can shake things up and live the life that we wanted. We can finally grab the life we were wired to create. And, we can help others in the process.  How? Dave boils down his premise into three easy to digest tips that set up the whole book: Recognize Your Destiny Deterrents; Refuse to Settle; Run Your Race.I'm a vastly different learner than my husband. I love stories; he loves action. The organization of the book integrates both of these styles and more. Dave Arnold includes motivational quotes and inspirational stories from his life and the lives of others for those who learn and process through situations and experiences. (That's me!) However, his tips and action steps will move you forward as well as keep things organized for those who want the nitty gritty plan to motivate them. This book gives us the why and the how seamlessly integrated into one useful text.Here's my recommendation: Grab some coffee, grab It's Possible: Learning How to Thrive (Not Just Survive) in Life by Dave Arnold, and start reading. If you're like me, you'll drink it all in quickly - including the coffee - to find that you've read through it in one sitting. Then you'll read it again. You'll chew on it. You'll finally start understanding how you can break out of this survival mode the majority of people have found themselves using as a standard method of operation, and then you will thrive just like Dave said you could.As a God Girl, I loved the quotes and scriptures used in the book. Keep in mind that Dave's faith is displayed prominently. However, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this book to any of my non-Christian friends. You'll still find yourself growing and gaining a lot of insight and motivation from Dave's ideas and suggestions.
