A lot of people want to be successful. Who those not want it? Even I want it too. Most have often cringed and wished that they be successful as Bill Gates, Henry Ford and a host of others.

Well the secret is easy and not so technical as people think even a no- brainer does it. Each and every one of us has tapped into this power without us knowing.

As kids, we experimented with this power a lot. When you wanted a toy or gift, all we had to do is imagine it and then keep asking our parents to get it for us or try as much as possible most times do everything possible to get it.

Haven’t got it yet? The secret to success is Passion or what most people call love. One thing extraordinary about passion or love is that it has the ability to extract power from within which makes one to overcome fear and limitation.

When you want something and desire it from the bottom of your heart that’s when you will discover true power that you never were aware of. In whatever chosen field of interest, you must have passion for it or it will frustrate you.

Henry Ford was a man of passion. It was his passion that made him successful in the automobile business, he really democratized the automobile.

Just think how you can use this power to shape your lives and make those whom you love happy. Cheers

Vacation rental software can simplify your life. Whether you own rental property in one or multiple locations, and expect it to be regularly booked, you need to ensure that people are aware of your property. This involves advertising and letting them know it is available. It also means that you must spend several hours managing your property, replying to hundreds of email enquiries that may or may not materialize into business. In case you don’t reply to an enquiry immediately, it might mean the loss of that customer.

You can sit back and relax and let the experts manage your rental property if you enter Bookitsystem.com. This property rental software takes care of all the administrative work. For instance, the customized auto-responder replies to each and every incoming email instantly and provide relevant price and availability information about your vacation rental property to the sender of the email. This helps your property to be booked right away. This helps you not only to save money but also earn money for you.

The Process

After you enter details about yourself, your rental policies, the terms you expect, reservation method, payment methods, deposits, check in checkout times, taxes, and service options - in fact, everything you would painstakingly email in your enquiry response – can all be made available readily. This means that a lot of time is saved, both for you and for your customer since they have all the information, helping them decide instantly.

After receiving an enquiry, Bookitsystem.com property rental software presents all the necessary information to the customer about availability etc. If your property is already booked for the date the customer wants, the software shows them alternate dates on which their booking can be accepted, enabling them to plan their booking accordingly.

The holiday season is quickly approaching and many of us are preparing for this joyous time of the year. Some may embrace the holidays with cheer, hope, and thanksgiving while others may embrace the season with burden, anxiety, and personal failure. This article addresses three ways you can overcome anxiety and depressed mood during the holidays.

The first and most effective way to avoid anxiety and depressed mood is to recognize unachievable and unrealistic expectations (unhealthy thoughts) that you may subscribe to. Our thoughts have a direct bearing over our emotional disposition and the consequences that occur in the aftermath. We often cannot change circumstances (situations, events, and the behavior of others) that occur in our lives but we do have the power to alter the way we feel and react to them by simply changing the way we think. If we would like to avoid experiencing anxiety and depressed mood during the holidays, we must take ownership and control over our own thoughts by identifying unhealthy thoughts that we may subscribe to that might be contributing to a negative emotional disposition and replace them with healthier ones.

Some may fear social rejection and judgment from others. Though others may choose to judge negatively, pondering on this thought can ultimately rob you of experiencing joy and happiness. The following are six common unachievable and unrealistic expectations (unhealthy thoughts) that are often pondered on during the holidays:

1. "I need to spend a lot of money on gifts otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - It is a shame that so much worry is attributed from the issue of money especially during the holidays. We should not feel or be made to feel that the holidays are all about external/physical gifts. The most precious gift that we can give to one another is our fellowship and love (internal gifts). No external/physical gift can replace this. Internal gifts have a longer shelf life and increase our self-esteem more than external/physical gifts. We must keep this issue in the proper perspective otherwise we can inadvertently teach others that external/physical gifts are more precious and desirable than our fellowship and love.

2. "For gatherings, my home must always be clean and tidy otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - It is never okay to invite guests to a filthy home. But expecting your home to be constantly tidy might be an unrealistic expectation, especially when children are present. Expecting such would only cause you anxiety and depressed mood. Do not worry about the cleanliness of your home but rather focus on fellowship as this is much more important and significant.

3. "I must prepare a flawless meal for my gathering otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - The quality of meals should not be the main focus of the holidays. If food preparation is an issue, there is nothing wrong with purchasing meals from a restaurant. To go one step further, having a potluck might be a better and less expensive idea as your guests would be directly involved with the food preparation by offering a variety of foods at your gathering freeing up time for fellowship.

4. "My physical appearance must be acceptable and appropriate otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - Aside from daily hygiene, do not worry about your physical appearance. The fellowship that you can give to one another is much more important than your physical appearance. More times than not, our own anxiety over our physical appearance has more to do with how we feel about ourselves rather than how others may perceive us.

5. "I need to bring a mate to the gathering otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - If you are single, sometimes attending a gathering by yourself where couples are present might make you feel uncomfortable as you might feel that you do not fit in. Keep in mind that you are not alone as there are many people that are divorced, separated, or single. If having a mate was a prerequisite for gatherings, I guarantee you that there would be a lot less gatherings! In addition, avoiding gatherings would only rob you of the experience of possibly meeting a potential mate.

6. "I need to pretend that I am happy during gatherings otherwise I might be perceived negatively by others" - Experiencing happiness is not a prerequisite for attending gatherings. Oftentimes, life events and experiences that have nothing to do with the holidays may play a direct role in your emotional disposition. The wonderful thing about gatherings is that there are plenty of people that you can talk with. If someone asks you how you are doing or feeling, be honest with them and let them know. Do not tell them that everything is fine when it is not. Oftentimes, having someone to discuss your problems with might actually help you resolve them as well as make you feel better. Take advantage of this opportunity.

If there are any other unhealthy thoughts that you might be dealing with that are not discussed in this article, I encourage you to write those thoughts down on a piece of paper writing a healthier thought (one that you would like to subscribe to) next to it. It would also be a good idea for you to review these thoughts daily so that it becomes easier to recognize and replace unhealthy thoughts.

The second way to avoid anxiety and depressed mood is to establish personal and professional goals for yourself. There is a lot to be said for New Year's resolutions. Establishing short and long-term goals is a healthy idea because they can provide you with structure by giving you something to look forward to. Goals oftentimes give meaning to our lives. Those who do not have goals often feel hopeless and helpless. Just make sure that the goals that you establish are significant and achievable otherwise they will not be effective or worth your while to achieve.

And finally, the third way to avoid anxiety and depressed mood is to work at giving to others. Sometimes we are fooled into believing that happiness is achieved through the gifts that we receive or the items that we purchase. Just the opposite is true. You can achieve true happiness by helping others in need, volunteering your services, holding the hand of one in despair, or just simply being there when one experiences a low moment in his/her life. Oftentimes, it is not the words that we say that lifts one's spirit or gives one hope. But rather, it is just being there that makes all the difference in the world. At times, we feel uncomfortable because we do not know the right words to say to those who are hurting. Words are not always important. The fellowship and the love that you can provide is what the holidays are all about. Let's not lose this perspective and let's not give unhealthy thoughts, with all the anxiety and depressed mood that goes along with them, the ability to rob us from experiencing the joy and the happiness that we all deserve to experience during the holidays. Happy holidays to all!

According to surveys, the two most visited islands in the US are Maui and Hawaii. You may either take the word of those who have traveled there, or see for yourself by planning your next great vacation in Maui.
As one of the Hawaiian islands, Maui is often called the "Valley Isle" because of it's location between two volcanoes. It is the second largest of Hawaii's eight islands and has many tropical rain forests, pristine beaches, clear waters, green pasture and rocky cliffs.
The island is a great place to visit throughout the year, as the weather stays a comfortable 75 to 85 degrees all year round. If you are interested in spending your next vacation here, try booking online or visit your local travel agent. This would certainly be a memorable vacation and be sure to bring back lots of souvenirs and pictures.
Tourists can stay either at the western or eastern side of the island. The western side is the biggest tourist destination and where most of the resorts are located, in the towns of Lahaina, Kaanapali and Kapalua. However, if you want to avoid the crowds, try the east side where you can trek through the rainforest, see waterfalls and cross over land bridges.
How can you start your tour in Maui? Well, you can probably start by hopping on board the Sugar Cane Train in Kaanapali and relax in an open-air coach while visiting the historic town of Lahaina. You could then snorkel at Wailea Beach or relax in its waters and see the black lava formations that mingle with the sand.
For those who don't want to swim, they can go whale watching; join a fishing cruise or a scenic sightseeing cruise. This will give tourists the chance to learn more about the island and intermingle with others.
In the evening, you can enjoy a dinner cruise with lively music and dancing in the perfect setting for a romantic evening. These boats usually depart on the west side of the island and many of these can be found in Lahaina. These cruises usually last about two and a half hours and it is recommended to arrive early.
When you return to the island, you may have a drink at the one of the open air bars or watch a fire dance. This show will surely amaze you as these individuals are able to perform their demonstration unscathed.
Before returning, you should check out some of the art galleries. Who knows, you may find something here that you would like to buy and display in your home.
A vacation in Maui is not only for families but for couples as well who may be celebrating their honeymoon or anniversary. This provides you the option to stay at a secluded place so as to enjoy each other's company without disturbances.
This vacation in Maui may be your first, but surely will not be your last. With the breathtaking views and the friendly people, chances are you will return again in years ahead or even recommend this place to family members and friends
