Let It Go: My Extraordinary Story - From Refugee to Entrepreneur to Philanthropist

Product Information

This book is specifically for people who need to downsize either their own home or their parents' home. I don't have to downsize, but I read it anyway since I *want* to get rid of a significant amount of stuff in my current home. We downsized from two homes to one years ago when I had an infant, and I could not deal with sorting through everything at that time, so my current house is not only cluttered with the extras from that consolidation, but also all the new stuff that comes with having kids. I found this book very useful. You are not your stuff or your bank account, either, or even your career. If you've defined yourself by what you own or what you do for a living (don't feel bad—a lot of people do this!), downsizing requires you to examine your way of thinking.

In Let It Go, Peter will help you turn downsizing into a rejuvenating life change with his useful tips and practical takeaways, including how The Let It Go method also corrects the wrong impressions about downsizing that you may have learned! I'll lead you step-by-step through a different sort of downsizing process, one that prepares you emotionally and mentally beforehand, then helps you rapidly sift through your pile of stuff and discover benefits that others rarely find, like:New York Times bestselling author T.D. Jakes uses inspiration from the Lord’s Prayer to reveal how the act of forgiving—and learning to be forgiven—can lead you to a more joyful, peaceful, and purposeful life. Eh, overall ok. I would have liked a better design & layout, along w/ better editing to really emphasize his core points. Sadly, I think his message is diluted because it gets lost among the other more filler-like stuff. In recent years, I've dealt with several of life's big milestones. And I have more coming in the near future. Excerpts. You have to set up your home to nurture and encourage your new life when you’ve gone through a transition.

To restore our emotional and spiritual health we must exercise forgiveness on a regular if not daily basis."You're entering a new phase that will change your identity. The milestone that has prompted your downsizing is an announcement that you're no longer a child, a single person, a married person, a career worker, the owner of a big house in a prestigious neighborhood, a person who can call home and talk to mom and dad, or whomever you were before the downsizing event. So what is the Let It Go way? You'll purposefully confront the items now filling your home. Which ones bring up bad memories? Which ones are creating a wall around you that will keep you from grabbing the new prospects your life is about to offer?

Also, which possessions represent the legacy of your loved ones that you want to preserve? Which possessions can someday carry on your legacy? I finally found the words to respond to Julie's question. "Mum's life was not about the stuff," I said. What made her life shine had nothing to do with any of the objects she owned. Whether she held on to it for a minute or 90 years, her stuff was ultimately finite and temporary. Let It Go charts a trailblazing career as an entrepreneur and an incredible personal story. In this moving memoir, one of the most inspirational women of our times tells her own uplifting story and explains why giving her wealth away – letting it go – has brought her infinitely more happiness and fulfilment than acquiring it in the first place. A multi-part TV series of the book is currently in development and expected to air on one of the major streaming services.

When you downsize well, you will emerge lighter and liberated. You will be surrounded only by items that bring you joy and pleasure. You're able to make the most of your new opportunities.
