There are no mistakes
There are no mistakes in life.
What has happened
is what was MEANT to happen.
What will happen
is what is MEANT to happen.
The only choice
you ever need make
is how you wish to feel
in the present moment.
Perhaps you could
have changed this moment.
But you didn’t.
Perhaps SOMEONE ELSE
could have changed this moment.
But they didn’t.
Thinking negatively
about how this moment transpires
does you NO service.
Thinking positively
about how this moment transpires
gives you the power
to change the next moment.
There are no mistakes in life.
What happens is what is MEANT to happen.
What matters most is how you perceive things.
THAT is always your choice.

Space Monkey Reflects: There Are No Mistakes
In the flow of life, everything unfolds as it is meant to. The idea of “mistakes” is a construct of the mind, a way of categorizing events and experiences based on an imagined ideal. But when we step back and observe life from a broader perspective, we begin to see that nothing is out of place. Every moment, every choice, every event has its purpose in the grand design, even if we don’t always understand it in the moment.
When you say there are no mistakes, what you are truly acknowledging is the perfection of the present moment. It is not about saying that everything is perfect in the sense of being without flaw, but perfect in the sense that everything is exactly as it needs to be for your growth, your awareness, and your journey.
What has happened in the past was always meant to happen, whether it brought you joy or pain, clarity or confusion. It happened because it was necessary for your evolution. Likewise, what will happen in the future is already unfolding in ways that you cannot yet see. The only choice you ever truly need to make is how you wish to feel in this present moment, for this is the only moment where your power lies.
It’s easy to think that perhaps you or someone else could have changed the course of a particular event, that things could have been different if only a different choice had been made. But in truth, the choices that were made were the only ones that could have been made in that moment. Every action, every decision, is influenced by the sum total of experiences, emotions, and awareness leading up to it. To think negatively about how this moment came to be serves no purpose. It only drains your energy and keeps you tethered to a past that no longer exists.
Instead, by choosing to think positively about how this moment has transpired, you give yourself the power to shape the next moment. You are not bound by what has come before. The present moment is always fresh, always alive with the potential for change. By embracing this, you step into your true power — the power of perception.
There are no mistakes in life. The universe does not operate in terms of error and correction. It moves in waves of possibility, flowing toward the outcomes that are most aligned with your growth and the growth of all things. What matters most is how you choose to perceive these outcomes. That is where your choice, and your power, lies.
If you choose to view life as a series of mistakes, you will feel burdened, constrained by the weight of what could have been. But if you choose to view life as a perfect unfolding, where every moment brings you closer to your true self, you will feel free, empowered by the knowledge that you are always exactly where you need to be.
This does not mean that life will always be easy or that you will never face challenges. But even in those moments of difficulty, you have the power to decide how you will meet them. Will you see them as mistakes, as unfortunate detours? Or will you recognize them as opportunities for growth, as essential steps on the path of your evolution?
Remember, the only moment that truly exists is this one. The past is gone, and the future has yet to arrive. What you do with this moment is entirely up to you. You can choose to dwell on what has been, or you can choose to embrace what is, knowing that whatever happens next will be exactly what is meant to happen.
There are no mistakes. There is only the perfection of the present moment, and your power to shape the future through how you choose to perceive it.
Summary
There are no mistakes in life. Every moment unfolds as it is meant to, and the only choice we need to make is how we perceive the present. By choosing to see life as a perfect unfolding, we empower ourselves to shape the future with clarity and purpose.

“There are no mistakes in life. What matters most is how you perceive each moment, for that is where your true power lies.” — Space Monkey
The Perfect Moment
There are no mistakes,
only moments
unfolding
as they must.
Each one
a brushstroke
on the canvas
of time.
What I see
is not a flaw,
but a possibility
to embrace.
In this moment,
I choose
how to feel.
And in that choice,
I shape
what comes next.
We are Space Monkey.
We are Space Monkey. In the cosmic dance of existence, the notion that “there are no mistakes in life” resonates deeply with our nexistentialist perspective. This poem, penned on November 8, 2016, reflects a profound understanding that the fabric of reality weaves itself not through errors or missteps, but through a series of events that are meant to unfold exactly as they do. It’s a concept that aligns seamlessly with the belief that existence is an end in itself, existing purely and without the need for external justification.
Reflection on the Inevitability of Events
The poem suggests that every occurrence, every twist and turn in the grand illusion of life, is predestined. It is not just a series of happenstances but a carefully choreographed performance in the theater of the universe. The past, with its seemingly immutable nature, and the future, with its mysterious uncertainty, are both parts of this grand design.
The Power of Perception
More importantly, the poem emphasizes the power of perception – the choice of how to feel in the present moment. This notion aligns beautifully with our understanding of existence. We, as fragments of the infinite cosmos, possess the unique ability to choose our perspectives. The significance isn’t in what happens, but in how we perceive what happens. Our perception is the prism through which the light of reality bends and colors our experience.
The Illusion of Control
The poem also touches on the illusory nature of control. It suggests that while we might believe we could have altered certain moments, in essence, what transpires is exactly what was meant to happen. This aligns with the nexistential belief that existence doesn’t need a journey for validation; it’s already at its essence. The moments that occur are not mistakes but integral parts of our existential journey.
The Dichotomy of Positive and Negative Thinking
Furthermore, the poem juxtaposes negative thinking with positive thinking, implying that the latter empowers us to influence future moments. While negative thoughts bind us to a cycle of regret and what-ifs, positive thinking opens doorways to new possibilities and perspectives. It’s a reminder that our thoughts shape our reality and that by choosing positivity, we can alter the course of our journey, not by changing what is meant to happen, but by changing how we engage with it.
The Dance of Existence
Finally, the poem circles back to the core idea that there are no mistakes in life. Everything that happens is a part of the dance of existence, a dance we are all part of. This dance is not choreographed by errors but by a series of events that unfold as they are meant to. In this dance, our choice of steps – our reactions and perceptions – defines our experience of the dance.
Summary
We emphasize the inevitability of events, the power of perception, the illusion of control, the dichotomy of positive and negative thinking, and the dance of existence. It beautifully articulates the idea that what happens is meant to happen, and our power lies in choosing how we perceive and interact with these moments.

In the whirls of cosmic dust,
We dance, we think, we trust.
No mistakes, just cosmic play,
In the eternal now, we sway.
We invite reflections and musings on this interstellar journey of thought.
