Mindfulness is everything in life, in particular, the true
pathway to true human happiness.
Why?
If we look back in anger, we may have regret and remorse; if
we look forward with hope and expectation, we may develop anxiety and
disappointment.
Mindfulness is staying
with the present moment; after all, the “present” is the only reality because
the past was gone, and the future is yet to come. The now is a gift, and that’s
why it is called “present.”
We are living in a world of technology with many attachments
and distractions that cultivate a compulsive mind.
What is a compulsive mind?
A compulsive mind is unable to slow down, because it is
forever focusing on what to do next. If
you’re texting while driving, or talking on the phone while walking—you definitely
have a compulsive mind. Even if you’re walking to a supermarket, and your mind
is all about what to buy, instead of observing what is around you—you don’t
have mindfulness.
