Find Inner Fulfillment in Your Life

The first thing that you must do is change the way that you think. This sounds a lot easier than it really is. It is an attitude adjustment and you might find it difficult to maintain. Once you begin, you will need to constantly check your attitude and inner thoughts to make sure that you are staying on track. Positive thinking is the way to inner fulfillment. Pay attention to your thoughts for a little while. You might be amazed at how negative your inner voice really is. It is these thoughts that bring us down and don't allow us to feel satisfied with our lives. It's time to change those thoughts and bring a positive and satisfying thought pattern into our lives.

Awareness is the first step. Once you have paid attention to the thoughts in your head, begin to make some changes to the negativity. Every time you notice a negative thought you should find a way to change it to something more positive. This will take some effort on your part. The amount of thoughts that run through your mind on any given day is astounding. You should do some checking on your thoughts periodically through the day. Ask yourself what you are thinking and make sure that it is positive.-

Life is Your Creation

It's okay to have a lot of money and live in a beautiful home, drive a nice car and all of those things. However, you have to be clear on why you want those things. Do you want these things to impress others and fill a hole within you? Or, do you want these things to feed your spirit and live a comfortable life, so that you can more clearly live your purpose to do good in the world and benefit others? We can do a lot of good in the world when we are wealthy. We also can live a very shallow and empty life when we are rich. What is driving your goals and desires, spirit or ego?

Again, to create what it is that you want in life, it is very important to be very clear on exactly what it is that you want in life. I would encourage you to take some time and get very quiet and relaxed, with a pen and paper. Take some deep breathes and close your eyes, now imagine your perfect life. What does your perfect life look like? Imagine it in great detail. What do you see? Where do you live? Are you married, if so what is your spouse like? How much money do you make monthly? What are your friends like? How does your body look and feel? What is your emotional state? What do you do for work? How do you feel? Imagine your perfect life in as much detail as possible.

Feel Save and Secure

The other side, the employee working for a large company can feel safe knowing that he is working for the largest companies in the world. "If this company fails, all will fail," they might think. "This is a lifetime job." But sometimes we cannot rationally understand the level of security, because it is not measured on a rational scale but by emotion.

Do people who are unemployed in the US feel less secure than their European counterparts, who have a more sophisticated social security system? Or do they feel safer knowing that their destiny is in their hands and not in the hand of an abstract institution?

Those who have worked for Lehman Brothers may have seen the top of the world, but how about their feelings towards safety now? Did they calculate the risk and were they prepared for this to happen?

Politics and Advertising

Researchers, lead by Bahador Bahrami, discovered that a subject's brain was able to register images that were faint or those flashed at speed if they were in their visual line of sight, even when the subject was adamant that they had not seen anything i.e. subliminal messages.

Although current psychological assumptions work on the belief that what we pay attention to and what we are aware of are the same, this study shows otherwise. Bahrami and his team have shown that we do not need to be aware of subliminal messages for them to have an affect on the brain. Even though we can be totally unaware of any images being shown to us in the form of subliminal messages, the brain is aware and registers them!

This could account for being aware of billboards on the roadside or flashing computer graphic ads on websites not to mention the use of visual subliminal messages in magazine advertisements! It could also account for the phenomenon of being in a crowed room with a lot of conversations going on and suddenly being aware of someone mentioning your name across the room!

Facial Blushing Problem?

More and more people today are experiencing facial blushing problems. It's important to note that its okay to have this problem and that you are not alone. There are entire forums dedicated to helping you with your facial blushing problems.

Facial blushing can in fact be cured. Facial blushing is basically the result of a bodily response which pumps adrenaline through the body and causes areas such as the face, neck and ears to turn red. This however can be controlled without the use of dangerous surgeries such as ETS surgery. Many people also will resort to purchasing and wearing certain creams, but these are only for temporary relief and really don't assess the problem at its source.

How to Increase Your Return at the Closing Table

First, be realistic about the price. There's a good chance that you might have bought your timeshare after having been pressured into buying. There's also a slim chance that you bought when there was more of a demand than there is today; it was the "in" thing to do. Because the market may have changed, you might not get as much cash for your timeshare. Some research indicates that the majority of people get only 50 percent of the money they spent to buy the timeshare property.

However, you could increase your percentage by keeping the timeshare well maintained and clean. The truth is, most people when they sell their timeshares sell something that is left in shambles than when they were first purchased it. The temptation is there, when you're finished using the place for a vacation, to push off cleaning or maintenance chores on the next person. Don't do it! Your laziness could end up substantially hurting chances of selling at a decent price.

Timeshare Cheatsheet Guide

Buyers new to the timeshare industry can fall prey to sleazy business tactics and end up investing a huge amount of money on purchasing timeshares, only to know later that it does not fetch a higher return. Just remember if things change in your personal life, you can always think about selling your timeshare. Because the timeshare resale market is so huge, there are companies that specialize in this type of brokerage. These companies are easy to locate, especially in popular resort areas where timeshare resorts are abundant.
Others use the timeshare for a while and then for some reason, it no longer fits in with their lifestyle -- and they also find themselves putting their vacation unit back on the market. Be aware there do exist some unattractive timeshare resorts. However, with the internet it's easy to search facts about any resort and find reviews by people who have vacationed in any of the resorts. So do your homework before you take your family or friends to a resort. Think about it. Who wants to vacation in a dingy vacation spot, even if it is in a 'resort' area? Ex-timeshare buyers can help you to make good decisions while buying a timeshare for enjoying your holiday. They can also give you tips on the best resorts to visit with your points. Just keep in mind, timeshare rentals are available all over the world, in the best Five Star Resorts, for discounted dollars, IF you know how to 'work' the point system to your greatest advantage.

Fractional Ownership in the UK

The suggested problem seems to be that fractional ownership is only suitable for resorts with year-round warm climates or places with a very long season for other reasons, e.g. Summer/Winter use of an apartment in the French alps or a city-break location. This long season would mean less pressure on the time allocation and allow smaller fractions to be practical. Of course it does help if the season is longer, but I think that what is really being said is that fractional ownership in the UK (outside of London) is not really suitable for developers looking to make huge profits.

Part of the problem is that developers often only seem to be considering a limited range of holiday experiences (basically luxury beach and/or golf) when it comes to developing fractional schemes. In the UK there are a number of existing leisure concepts which fractional developers could tempt consumers away from, the most significant being timeshare. Also as mentioned above there are a large number of second homes in the UK. The owners of these could be tempted either to sell fractions in their existing assets or to buy new fractional developments as a way of releasing capital.

From the consumers point of view the development of fractional ownership in the UK would open up the possibility of second home ownership to new groups who had not previously believed they could afford it, and had been unwilling to buy timeshare because of the bad publicity/poor investment returns.
