As I understand it, mindfulness basically means being fully in the present moment—not rehashing and second-guessing the past, not fretting about the future, but focusing on right now. It means being aware of your physical sensations, your feelings, your thoughts. It also means accepting these thoughts and feelings, without judging whether they’re right or wrong. It means not overthinking everything.
In the end, all that really matters—all you really have—is the people you love. Not your job, not your career, not your awards, not your money, not your stuff. Just your people.
If I had to list the top five things that I am exceptionally good at, I’d go with, in no particular order: • Sarcasm. • Ridicule. • Hand farts. • Locating the bar at a wedding reception. • Developing an instantaneous hatred for people I don’t know.
