It Is Always Now | Happy New Moment

Inspiration from @SamHarrisOrg.

The past is a memory. A thought arriving in the present. The future is merely anticipated, another thought arising now. What we truly have is this moment.

Forget the year just lived or the one which tempts you into thinking away from this moment.

I wish you nothing but the awareness of the joyous now.

Now.

(Something I selfishly wish for myself).
