- “To achieve success in any art the artist must know his tools and for what purposes they are designed. Furthermore, to achieve the highest success, he must know what he cannot do as well as what he can do with them.” —Brett Page ([Location 428](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=428))
- This book is all about a journey I’m inviting you to take—the journey to know, name, and live out your personal calling. ([Location 431](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=431))
- gospel-centered life design! That’s what I wrote Younique to be. ([Location 437](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=437))
- Younique starts with special calling, not common calling. I’m not going to let you get stuck in the “unoriginal sin” of neglecting your uniqueness. You have a one-of-a-kind calling that will be our focus. Younique provides a real pathway to walk on so you’re not just walking around. Good intentions have a way of evaporating by the time you’re ten feet away from your favorite reading nook. (I know that’s true for me.) So we’ll lay the stepping stones to get you somewhere new in your life. ([Location 460](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=460))
- The difference of identity between any two people in the world is found in less than 1 percent of their DNA. Yet embedded in that 1 percent is jaw-dropping potential for different personalities, beautiful relationships, and bountiful dreams. That 1 percent, together with the peculiar combination of finely detailed surroundings that only you have ever experienced, ushers in the meaning of being uniquely you. This book is a 1-percent book. And that 1 percent changes everything. ([Location 473](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=473))
- Younique does much more than sprinkle a few questions at the end of each chapter. This book will guide you through an entire set of tools and experiences to utilize on life’s journey. In fact, I have named the transforming trip that I want you to take the Younique Life Plan Journey (or, “The Journey” for short). ([Location 487](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=487))
- Finally, this book reflects an actual coaching experience that you can pursue in any of three ways. The first is a four-day accelerator in cities near you. The second way enables people to attend from anywhere in the world. We call it a “virtual cohort” consisting of five to eight people who meet online weekly over twenty-four weeks. Finally, you can work with a certified coach for a one-on-one retreat that usually lasts two days. ([Location 498](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=498))
- Our biggest dream, however, is for your local church to become the main provider of the Younique Life Plan. We can picture every church attender enjoying the Younique Life Plan Journey with local leaders they know and trust. Our vision is to see life planning and life design as a regular part of what the local church offers. The goal is not just to slot people into a volunteer position for an hour a week but to slingshot them into their life calling every moment of every day.

- Younique’s two distinctives—its total focus on your special calling and its proven pathway for real progress—add up to break-thru: a new, accessible point of view that powerfully changes the trajectory of your life. ([Location 507](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=507))
- The screaming need today is not for more voices from the balcony, but for someone to show you the staircase. You need ladder-makers and escalators. You need people throwing you ropes, not false hopes. You need access points to the upper level. Unfortunately, inspirational glimpses into next-level living don’t take you there; only steps do. ([Location 516](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=516))
- If the only things you did to put this book into practice were to (1) align your emotions, habits, and commitments repeatedly to your mission in life and (2) devote yourself to one new goal every ninety days, your life in ten years would be indescribably richer than it is right now.

- “Life favors the specific ask and punishes the vague wish.” ([Location 3621](https://readwise.io/to_kindle?action=open&asin=B083JKMNQZ&location=3621))
