“Remember that your life counts – and make it count. You are unique.

There is no one like you on this planet. Never has been and never will be.

Do not sell yourself short. Do not sell the world short.

This is your life – love it, live it. One life, one chance – grab it.

Get the life you love – and live it.”

Arvind Devalia, author of ‘Get the Life You Love and Live It’, talks to the Book Detective about why he believes we should celebrate our lives and go for our dreams. He says that we can make a contribution to the world simply by virtue of who we are, and that we all matter.

Arvind explains that finding and expressing your life purpose is about who you are, rather than what you know or what you do. It’s also about looking for the patterns. He realised that everything he does (coaching, charity work, writing and public speaking) all has a common theme of people. He feels that if we could approach life in a way that is childlike, playful, positive and relaxed, it would have a beneficial effect on everything from our health and self-esteem to the work we do in the world.

As well as having an upbeat outlook, Arvind says that the following three steps are important if you want to have a life you love:

Develop clarity so you know what you want to achieve

Commit to it and stay focused no matter what.

Take action in the form of small daily steps

He explains that confidence is an outcome, so don’t wait to feel confident. Instead, know that once you get started on something you’ll develop confidence along the way. Otherwise you may never get going at all!

Ultimately, he believes that spreading love and kindness is all that matters, and shares the power of his three Cs:

Contribution – making a difference

Connection: bringing people together

Celebration: because life is about joy

He is a big fan of the following quote by Mother Teresa, ‘Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.’

Arvind suggests smiling at everyone you meet…for the rest of your life!

The Case of the Inspired Author

“Inspired people take the mystery of inspiration as a given; this doesn’t mean they don’t appreciate it or that they abuse it but they know their job is to be a conduit, a portal in time, opening themselves to continual inspiration and then mastering the craft of taking their ideas and moving through their resistance to turn those ideas into songs, plays, books, articles, TV programmes or whatever their craft is. Inspired people simply have no doubt about the ongoing and continual presence of inspiration; they know the job is to be the in-between – the channel between the divine and the time-bound.”

Nick Williams, author of How to Be Inspired, tells the Book Detective why he believes in the power of inspiration and why we should all put it at the centre of our lives. Over the years he has learnt how to put out the welcome mat for inspiration, navigate the turbulent waters of fear and resistance, and create supportive communities around him. He has also discovered that there are greater forces at work than just market forces.

Nick is a huge fan of the author Steven Pressfield who said, ‘We were put here on earth to act as agents of the Infinite, to bring into existence that which is not yet, but which will be, through us.”

There was once a time when Nick felt that if you became inspired about something, you should go and lie down for half an hour and let it pass. Now a bestselling author and founder of the Spiritual Pro Global Community, Nick says, ‘We all matter, we are all significant and we are the ones we have been waiting for.’
