I have just finished reading Bo Sanchez' book on how to live a Richer life. If you don't know him yet, he is a leading motivational speaker in the Philippines and has written a lot of best sellers, the one I read being one of them.
From my previous posts, it's obvious that I had been in a rut. And so I'm trying to form a ritual to read uplifting books whenever I'm in that state, thus what happened this afternoon.
Before I forget all lessons that I've learned, I feel the need to share them all to you.
That's just how much I love you guys.
So here's the drill.
According to Bo, a life that's lived very simply is ideal. Simple is defined as learning to live within your core being, and your core would have to consist of the things that really mean most to you examples are your family, health, God and what not. Learning to concentrate on living within these essentials makes you prioritize easier.
I've also learned that living a simple life means having to make do of what you have, and not longing for things you really don't need. It also makes you save more, which was really continuously pressed on several times in the book. Set aside 70% of your money to everyday expenses, and the rest you invest. He suggested 3 categories where you should invest your money to: 10% back to tithes, 10% you invest in paper documents(stock, mutual funds etc.), and 10% on your relationships with people in your inner circle.
All in all, I've read some of his books before, and I must say that many salient points were mentioned consistently which is live simply, plan and invest.
