Simplicity is living from the core of your being. - Bo Sanchez
Here are some lines I've quoted from the book:
-God chose to write the "
map of happiness" on the ordinary parchment of simplicity -- like a treasure map written on recycled brown paper.
-Simplify because you want to discover the depths of your soul.
-Simplicity will point you to where, what and who the gold is in your life.
-Simplicity is having the time and space to embrace what is
most important to you.
-Happiness is found within.
-Simplicity is living from the core of your being.
-Living beneath your means is the only route to take to enjoy a secure and comfortable standard of living throughout your working and retirement years. Living beneath your means isn't a suggestion. It's an imperative. (Jonathan Pond)
-You are worth more than your wealth.
-My experience was that the less I spent on myself and the more I gave to others, the fuller of happiness and blessing did my soul become. (Hudson Taylor)
-Worry is the interest we pay on tomorrow's troubles. (E. Stanley Jones)
-Simplicity isn't the goal - but
peace of mind and love of neighbor.
-When we spend less, we can work less.
When we work less, we can play more.
When we play more, we can take the time to be better human beings.
-Satisfaction is not getting what you want, but wanting what you already have.
-Most of the things worth doing in the world had been declared impossible before they were done.
(Louis Brandeis)
-Simplicity means
singularity of purpose.
-Begin with the end in mind. (Stephen Covey)
-When we're faithful to our mission and give ourselves to the world and genuinely
help people live a better life, we see the world repay us.
-We are created for a mission, and that mission has been prepared for us beforehand. It is waiting for us to fulfill it!
-God has provided enough for our needs and more than enough to be generous if we open ourselves to that provision and work.
-How you define yourself will be how you will act.
-You have something that people need, and you need to
discover what that something is.
-Reject the rejection. Because somewhere near that door that just shut you'll find an open door. So keep on looking.
-Embrace your fears but do it anyway.
-A workaholic works long hours. A lifeaholic works regular hours.
-A workaholic has very shallow friendships, in and out of work.
A lifeaholic treasures his
deep friendships as his
greatest wealth.
-A workaholic works with no defined goals. He just wants to be busy.But a lifeaholic has defined goals and works toward attaining them. And half of these goals have something to do with his work.
-Angels can fly because they take themselves so lightly.
(Zen proverb)
-Little things affect little minds. (Benjamin Disraeli)
-Let small problems remain small.
