Mindfulness is about being present with what is from "summary" of Mindfulness in Plain English by Henepola Gunaratana

Mindfulness is not about getting anywhere else. It is about being where you already are and knowing that you are there. It is about seeing where you are right now, in this very moment, without wishing it were different. Mindfulness is about acknowledging the reality of the present moment. It is about accepting whatever is happening right now and not wishing for it to be different. It is about being with what is, without judgment or resistance. When you practice mindfulness, you are fully present with whatever is happening, whether it is pleasant or unpleasant. You do not try to change or fix anything; you simply observe it as it is. Mindfulness is about being aware of your thoughts, feelings, and sensations without getting caught up in them. It is about observing them with curiosity and openness, rather than reacting to them with aversion or attachment. Mindfulness is about being fully engaged with the present moment, without being distracted by thoughts of the past or the future. It is about being aware of what is happening right now, in this very moment, and not getting lost in memories or fantasies. When you are mindful, you are fully present with whatever is happening, without being pulled away by distractions or worries. Mindfulness is about cultivating a deep sense of presence and awareness in your everyday life. It is about being fully engaged with whatever you are doing, whether it is eating a meal, walking, or having a conversation. It is about bringing your full attention to each moment, without getting lost in thoughts or distractions. When you practice mindfulness, you are training yourself to be more present and aware in every aspect of your life.
