1 November 2010: Anticipating the best with TravelPeople

Do you remember counting off the days to your birthday party as a child? You would visualize the friends at your party, the games that you'll play, the birthday cake and of course the presents ... With each day closer to your big day the excitement would grow, your tummy would start making turns until it feels that you are going to bubble over with excitement and anticipation! As grown-ups we seldom experience that feeling as we live in a culture of instant gratification, i.e. getting what we want now. In the process we lose the joy of anticipation. Cultivating anticipation is a skill that can be practised and it has been proven to be directly linked to our emotional and psychological wellbeing, and ultimately our quality of life. So next time you walk past that beautiful chocolate cake display at the local coffee shop, think about it ... Here on http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ it's all about delayed gratification - and the outcome is much more rewarding!

This week http://www.travelpeople.co.za/ features a brand new COMPETITION where you and your partner stand the chance of winning an unforgettable two nights' stay with breakfast at Inn on the Square. Anticipation does not get any better than this!
