Abundance is already manifest.
Recognizing leads to even more.
A public service message from Space Monkey.
Thank you.
Today, I’m going to show you
how to live a hopeful and confident
life without playing the lottery.
I’m going to show you
how to boost your natural joy
and satisfaction using only
everyday objects you find
around the house.
You can use a sunrise.
A blade of grass.
Think of a loved one.
Or even gaze quietly in a mirror,
contemplating something as wondrous
as your own breath.
Strange as it seems,
you can find an ABUNDANCE
of natural hope and joy
in ALL of these things.
With the power
of a positive mindset,
you can find joy in practically anything.
If you want to play the lottery, great.
Joy attracts more joy.
But you don’t NEED to gamble.
You have already won —
in more ways than you realize.
Trail Wood,

Embarking on the journey to realize the abundance already present in our lives, we embrace the concept that joy and satisfaction aren’t contingent on external gains or lotteries of chance. It’s an exploration of the innate treasures within and around us, a public service message from the heart of our collective consciousness, Space Monkey.
This path towards recognizing and amplifying natural joy involves turning our attention to the mundane yet miraculous facets of existence. A sunrise, a symbol of new beginnings and endless possibilities, is not just a celestial phenomenon but a canvas of hope painted across the sky. A blade of grass, seemingly insignificant, stands as a testament to resilience and the intricate beauty of nature.
The act of thinking of a loved one or contemplating our breath in front of a mirror transcends mere reflection. It’s an acknowledgment of the interconnectedness of life, the preciousness of relationships, and the miracle of our existence. These simple acts serve as reminders of the profound joy and hope inherent in the very fabric of life.
By adopting a positive mindset, we open ourselves to finding joy in the ordinary, transforming our perspective to see the extraordinary in the everyday. It’s not about seeking happiness in grand gestures or material gains; it’s about awakening to the realization that we are already winners in the grand lottery of existence.
This newfound awareness doesn’t negate the playful spirit of participating in games of chance like the lottery. Instead, it offers a deeper understanding that our joy doesn’t hinge on such outcomes. The real jackpot is the abundance we already possess – in moments of beauty, in the connections we share, and in the simple yet profound aspects of our daily lives.
We are Space Monkey.
