Arvind Devalia has written the ultimate guide to making things happen. I first met Arvind nearly seven years ago at a charity event where he spoke for one hour about the Wheel of Life exercise to help one determine their work/life balance.

He has just written a brand new manifesto called "A Guide To Making Things Happen" which he is about to release in the next few days or weeks for his blog readers. You'll want to check out his blog and sign up to be notified when he releases it.

The manifesto is broken down into three parts: (1) reasons for making it happen now (2) how to start making it happen and (3) go! make it happen.

He further breaks down part two into simplifying your life, your health and exercise, healthy eating, career fulfillment, relationships. He ends on a short discussion on your personal social responsibility (also the title of one of his paperback book's) and discovering your legacy.

The 43-page manifesto, colorfully laid out, is chock full of inspirational quotes and motivation to get you going. Arvind seems to have two purposes - first, to get you to get out and make something happen in your life that's in line with being socially responsible, and second, to check out his Make It Happen Club which is a group of people working to make things happen in their life and the world.

You'll want to read this manifesto to help you go from where you are to take the next step and be socially responsible. It helps you to think about what it is you want to get out of your life - and then strive to realize it.

Here is a section of the book in which Arvind writes his seven beliefs:

My thoughts from reading "How to make one hell of a profit and still get to heaven" by John Demartini.
 
* Payment is due when service is rendered.
 
* To think it is more honorable to give than to receive is to break a profound universal law, the Law of Equilibrium.
 
* Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one's courage.
 
* Donate (time and money) to causes that truly inspire you rather than just those where you feel the need to rescue.
 
* You grow the fastest and deserve the most when you can be exactly who and where you are. Your true power lies in the balanced truth.
 
* You have exactly the samey potential as any highly accomplished person; you just aren't believing and acknowledging it. But the instant you have it in your mind, you start enacting it in your body.
 
* When you can take the things you judge in yourself and appreciate them to the point where it wouldn't matter if people found out, you'll attain real self-love.
 
* Wealth grows or appreciates in value where and when it's appreciated and knowledge is a vital key to that growth.
 
* Whoever appreciates nothing, receives nothing.
 
* Wisdom means looking at your life and realizing that every single person and event was perfectly designed to help you on your life path.
 
* When you see and appreciate the divine perfection that surrounds you, you give off a radiant light and bring harmony to yourself.
 
* Those who path a value on themselves end up wealthy.
 
* The gurus of financial markets are those who have learned to master their own emotions. Most people lose money because they let their own emotions dictate their behaviour.
 
* When you love yourself, peoples opinions won't touch you. When you don't love yourself, people are mysteriously drawn to attack you because you're doing the same to yourself first. The world is a mirror that shows you how you feel about yourself, and with self-love mthere's little fear of such reflection.
 
* When you're willing to do the things that other people aren't, and when you trust and honor yourself that much, the world honors you right back.
 
* Emotionally charged relationships can dissipate your potential to amass heavenly fortunes. Your heart is your greatest asset.
 
* If you attempt to live in a fantasy, you'll become frustrated and disillusioned trying to match your fantasy and it's not going to happen.
 
* People who are present are more productive, and the only way to be present is to see things as they truly are, not as you imagine then to be.
 
* Relationships exist to expand you by pushing your buttons about the things you haven't yet loved.
 
* True trust in relationships is about trusting others to live their values, not yours.
 
* If you can speak from your heart, your partner will go into his or get heart and meet you in the center.
 
* When you stop trying to change that person, in that moment they'll transform.
 
* Caring and selling are identical; they basically mean knowing and meeting people's values.
 
* The point of a purpose is to give you such a big "why" for your life that you attract the resources, money and people to help you overcome any obstacle on the path to your dream.
 
* Those with great purpose have the courage and discipline to go beyond their fears, to act with inspiration, to go even beyond themselves and what they think is possible.
 
* To the degree that you remain unconscious of your purpose, someone else will partly determine your destiny.
 
* In your heart you know exactly what you'd love to do, but the fears and guilt in your head stop you from acknowledging it.
