What's Meaningful, What Really Matters?

     It seems we have different priorities at different stages of life. Playing, fitting in, preparing for adult life, career- & nest-building, and then suddenly, retirement. 
     But when do we deeply investigate who we really are, what's really going on, what's really meaningful in this fleeting life? When & where do we learn the skills to investigate these questions?
     Should not the answers to these fundamental questions guide our life? Should we not deal with these as early & as thoroughly as possible?
     To be led gently, skillfully, towards deep insight would seem to be a vitally important opportunity. Mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) is an evidence-based, secular path to connect to our own core values - the rudder & ballast of our life. Embracing our own depth is the gateway to a rich, meaningful, congruent life - often an urgent calling by middle-age.
