This book inspire me a lot. :")

"Focus on what you have, not on what you don't." because satisfaction doesn't come from getting what you want but wanting what you already have. :)

There's abundant wisdom in this. I loved that this was filled with personal past experiences. The main and the sub-chapter texts were written concisely and paired with fascinating topic title. A 5/5 star rating for being the second book of Bo Sanchez I've read and didn't disappoint. This book answered and clarified the hazy thoughts in my mind. Forever grateful for this one!

Quotes:
It is not enough if you are busy. The question is, what are you busy about?

Simplify because you want to love from an uncluttered heart.

Because if we want to win in life, a master skill that we need to learn is the ability to let small problems remain small - and believe me, most of our problems are small.

Focus on what you have, not on what you don't. Because satisfaction doesn't come from getting what you want but wanting what you already have.

Angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly. -Zen Proverb

Little things affect little minds. - Benjamin Disraeli

Simplify everything in your life. Always think of the future, all of the things that could happen, will you be ready?

• Create a savings plan as early as you can through: investments, insurance, 10% annual increase, etc.
• Make an unexpected savings account (calculate in a year how much you spend on unexpected things, then put aside a portion of your income monthly based on that amount)
• Be generous. Give to the needy. The more you give, the more you receive. It’s just the law of the universe.
• Find it, don’t settle. Keep searching for what you love and have that as your work. You’ll be in the flow and you’ll be living your ikigai. After all, you spend 60% of your day doing work.

[Gelai · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read book especially to those who are still living life aimlessly and still can’t figure and experience the true happiness. Really, simplicity is having the time and space to embrace what is most important to you. We really just have to focus on what we have and not on what we don't.

There are quite a few number of online mentors that I consider. One of them would always be Bo Sanchez. I read this book of his a long time ago and can't remember in verbatim the chapters it contained.

One of the things I value most is practicality. This is maybe why I get along with these types of books (tackles financials, money and saving). This book instilled into me that the brands of my apparel won't define me; and that things that truly matter in this life are mostly free.
