I think part of mindfullness is to live in, and actualize, the moment. It is to pay attention to experiences, thoughts, and feelings as they occur and not dwell on nor be destracted by the past or the future. I think this is where some religions display a weakness. The Joy of the moment is sacrificed by constantly interpreting one's own experience by the standards of others. To concentrate on the emulation of others while forfeiting one's own thoughts and feelings is to neglect the self.
