Little decisions and actions add together to define who we are. It's not the big life plan or words to describe the life plan. It's what we decide is important and how we are true to ourselves. It's refusing to do something that we know is very wrong. Right and wrong is not a theory or a persuasion. Wrong is when our actions hurt someone or many people. And when we know it and ignore it because of our big life plan, we are not brave and we are not true to ourselves.
To be mindful is to not reflect on the past or anticipate the future. It's here and now. Keep the possessions that you need,share the ones that you don't need. And be true to yourself and you will be brave. The mindful life becomes natural, satisfying, true.
Peace
