We all&#8211;no matter our backgrounds or current state in life&#8211;want to have a life that is full of purpose and that matters. It is a universal desire of all humans. We want a life that is not a throw-away, that is seeking deeper levels of acknowledgement and contribution to humanity as a whole. I have worked in two jails and a psychiatric unit in my career. I have worked with heroin and cocaine addicted adults. These people, who have enormous challenges in their own individual lives, spoke of still making their mark in life, of realizing their potential, and of capturing the reason to be alive.<\/p>\n<p>I believe that one way to find meaning in one\u2019s life is found in practices such as mindfulness. Mindfulness is being in the present moment. Is all about putting your mind, body, and spirit in the here and now\u2026 without judging what\u2019s happening\u2026 just accepting it. When we practice being more mindful, we settle in to a calm and a peace that is unlike anything else. It is a way of being that is able to accept all things without resisting against it or trying to numb difficult feelings.\u00a0 When we are in this place, on a regular basis, we can find meaning in our precious lives. We find what\u2019s real and we touch what\u2019s beautiful in the moment. We don\u2019t have to seek anything, we just recognize the enormous gifts of life, our life.\u00a0 When we slow down and discontinue our constant striving, we find a level of goodness and understanding that is much deeper than anything we have experienced perhaps. Maybe a \u201cMeaningful Life\u201d is always available. Maybe it&#8217;s right here under the doing and busyness. Maybe it has always been here all along. I believe mindfulness offers a way to meaning. I believe mindfulness is available for all people. I believe that having meaning in one\u2019s life is part of the key to a life filled with joy and peace.<\/p>\n<p>No matter who you are or what you do or the challenges you face, there is a human need to find meaning in life. What will you do to find meaning?\u00a0 What is the meaning of your life?<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14142,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"nf_dc_page":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[159,158,96,114],"tags":[98,86,117],"class_list":["post-14141","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-core-values","category-intention","category-mindful-practices","category-perspective","tag-clarify","tag-mindfulness","tag-self-awareness"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>What will you do to find meaning?
