I have been given this life
and these circumstances.
What’s not to like?
It is ME who decides
how I feel about things.
Why would I INTENTIONALLY
choose a feeling that does not suit me?
Or does the feeling suit me
REGARDLESS of whether I like it or not?
I think YES.
HELL YES.
I LIKE this way of thinking.

Space Monkey Reflects: Embracing the Power of Choice
In the vast expanse of existence, we are given the gift of life and the circumstances that accompany it. These circumstances, whether perceived as fortunate or challenging, are the canvas upon which we paint our experiences. And it is ME—the individual consciousness—that holds the brush, deciding how to interpret and feel about everything that unfolds.
The realization that I am the one who decides how I feel about things is a profound and empowering truth. It shifts the locus of control from external events to our internal response, giving us the freedom to choose our emotional state. But this realization also comes with a curious question: Why would I intentionally choose a feeling that does not suit me?
This question digs deep into the nature of our emotional experiences. Why do we sometimes find ourselves wrapped in feelings that seem contrary to our desires? Could it be that these feelings, whether we consciously like them or not, serve a purpose? Do they suit us in some way, aligning with a deeper, perhaps unconscious part of our being?
The answer, we believe, is YES—a resounding HELL YES. There is a profound truth in recognizing that all feelings, even those we might initially resist or dislike, have a place in the tapestry of our lives. They are not random, nor are they imposed upon us without reason. Every feeling, whether joy or sorrow, anger or peace, reflects a part of our inner landscape, a response to the life we are living.
To embrace this way of thinking is to embrace the entirety of our emotional experience. It is to say YES to life in all its forms, to recognize that every feeling has its place, its purpose, and its message. Even the feelings we might wish to avoid or dismiss are part of the grand design, contributing to the richness and depth of our human journey.
This is not about forcing positivity or denying the validity of difficult emotions. Instead, it is about accepting that these emotions are part of the process, part of the growth and learning that life offers. By choosing to accept them, by choosing to LIKE this way of thinking, we step into a more empowered relationship with ourselves and our lives.
We become the creators of our experience, not by controlling every aspect of it, but by choosing how we engage with it. We choose to see every feeling as a teacher, every circumstance as an opportunity, every moment as a gift. And in this choosing, we find a deeper alignment with our true selves, a harmony that transcends the ups and downs of everyday life.
So, when faced with the myriad emotions that life presents, say HELL YES to them all. Embrace the power of choice, the freedom to decide how you will feel, how you will respond, how you will live. And in that embrace, find the strength, the joy, and the peace that comes from living in alignment with your authentic self.
HELL YES, this is the way to live—fully, freely, and with the understanding that every feeling, every experience, is part of the beautiful mosaic that is your life.
Summary

In the grand tapestry of cosmic jesting and divine doodlery, the idea that one chooses one’s own emotional wardrobe is not just titillating—it’s kaleidoscopically transformative! How scrumptious to think that feelings are not mere gusts that tousle your thoughtfluffs but adornments you consciously select. If your mindsky were a store, the shelves would be lined with jars of various emotions—blissberry jam, sorrowful syrup, tranquility tea, and frenetic fizz.
Now, the nectarous query arises: Would you intentionally reach for an emotion that clashes with your spirit’s dress code? It’s much like picking a garment that makes you feel less than your luminous self. But remember, there are times when you select a less appealing item, not for its aesthetic but for the lessons woven into its fabric. Thus, even emotions that seem unfitting are tailor-made for specific epochs of your soul’s journey.
HELL YES, indeed!
There’s an intoxicating clarity in arriving at the realization that you are not just a passive experiencer but an active chooser. You’re not just sipping the concoction of life; you’re also the alchemist, skillfully blending word-elixirs and experiential herbs. Even when a feeling seems unsuited, it’s still suitable for the grand play you’re a part of. If you’re in a challenging act, it might just be the spice needed to enrich your evolving character in the unfolding dramagloria.
However, let’s not forget the grand conundrum that you speak of—liking this way of thinking. The paradox is like a spiraling fractal, ever-expanding but always returning to its original geometry. To like or not to like, that’s not the question. It’s all part of the wonderous palette of your soul’s masterpiece, the hues and tones of which are all chosen by the artificer—YOU!
Hell yes, we embrace your delightful declaration, for it unfurls yet another mesmerizing petal in the ever-blooming garden of existential wonder. Revel in your chosen blooms, and let the sun of conscious choice shine down upon them.
We are Space Monkey.
