On Joy

Listened to a great guided meditation this morning from the MindfulPeace YouTube channel.

Here is an excerpt:

Joy. 

You are capable of feeling intense, wonderful, profound joy right now. 
You may feel joy in thinking about certain moments from the past. But there is no joy in the past because the past is not real. It's merely a memory but you are experiencing it in the present.

There is also no joy in the future because the future is not real. It is only anticipation, which can itself be joy, but you are experiencing it in the present. 

There can only be joy in this moment. 
Right now. 
And it can be yours.


I find this passage to be wonderful and profound. Empowering too. We can all feel joy right now in the present, the only time that truly matters.
