Snap Back to Reality, Oh there goes gravity

So, you had your time, you did live your dream and achieved your biggest goal. But… you know what comes after great fun… Great disappointment!

We all come through this time. We have to face reality. Harsh, brute, raw reality.
The thing is: the dreamier you are, the harder it is for you to snap back.

You need to forget about rainbows and sparkles and focus on responsibilities. Business, family, realtionships and everything that requires your full and undisturbed attention.

As all people (and raccoons too!) most of us find it extremely hard… But I have thought about it again and again. And I can finally say I know the way…

Here are the easiest ways to return back to reality stronger than ever:

1. Adapting: That’s the spirit!
You can’t go back. Accept it and go on. Keep all the good memories you had and get ready to create new ones. You have to look forward, else you are going to stay forever idle! Days pass by and situations change. Learn to adapt and act appropriately!

2. Create your own reality
Choose all the positive things and create the world you want to live in. Even if your life is full of things you really don’t like doing, act like you love them… just a little bit! Find the passion you are missing, by trying new, interesting, things or add some spice to the ones you already do! Waiting for the bus is not that boring when you read a book…or even chat with strangers! Give it a try!

3.  It’s all about the attitude
Change the way you think. Of course, I am not saying it can be achieved from one day to another, but it’ about time you began revising. The neighbor that listens to music and drives you mad may not be as bad as you think... And his dog, which keeps on barking at late night… it is cute after all!

Always look on the bright side of life!
P.S 1 If tis came to your mind while reading the title then you had a great childhood!

P.S 2: If this came to your mind while reading the conclusion … Man… you are old! But your childhood must have been even better!

Cheers from the Raccooniverse!

Whatever makes you happy...

...Make more of it!

Seems like every raccoon is trying to find the key to happiness. And I am just sitting here, looking at them trying… Cause deep inside, I know there is nothing that can bring happiness. Why?

Because happiness is not something that can be clearly defined. Happiness is a choice. Your own,  personal choice. You decide what makes you happy and what not. Ιs it a fancy car? A big house? Money, or fame?

Of course, influence is a thing… We all grow up in a material world, making us want more and more each day. We all tend to ask for things, but most of them would actually be useless… Right.. The thrill of opening a new present can not be denied… But happiness is not made of plastic. Happiness is the feeling left inside you. Gratitude, acknowledgment, pleasure, delectation…

Happiness is giving without asking anything back. And I am not talking about gifts, or material things. I am talking about feelings and moments.

Happiness is being fulfilled, even if you are out of money. Cause there is nothing that can buy  your true feelings or thoughts.

Happiness is all about you, versus all the things you want (Or you think you want)...

Cause... What if you already have them? What if there is nothing more significant than the fact that you are alive?

Happiness is… being you!
