There is no need to ever wait for joy. My joy does not depend on reaching or achieving certain goals. I don't have to graduate college to feel joy, nor do I need to be married to feel joy. I needn't postpone my joy until I've retired or reached a certain level of success. Joy is a state of mind, arising from realization and gratitude, accessible to me at all times.
I focus on the joy that underlies my life each day. When I awake, I feel joy. Throughout my day, I give thanks for the people who share my journey. At the end of the day, I am grateful for each experience, I reflect on the blessings in my life and feel joy welling up within me. I never wait for joy. I choose joy in this very moment.
My brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of any kind, consider it nothing but joy. - James 1:2
