Can Someone Please Clarify Some Things About Mindfulness( Focus, Sensual Clarity, Equanimity) For Me Please?

[Preetom]

I'm a 23 years old university student. I have pretty much abused almost every source of temporary pleasures/highs/cheap thrills except from hardcore drugs. To a point where now I find all these pleasures (30 ways society fucks you in the ass) absolutely hollow. They carry no genuine interest or meaning in me. Just the raw bodily pleasure exist from purely physiological addiction/mechanicalness. And I can't even imagine making a good life for the next 50 years, working hard just to keep these pleasure substances as the target and ultimately indulging in the same shit. Hell NO! This can't motivate me to wake up in the morning. 

 My question is how realistic is it to make one'e sole intention and goal of life developing and nurturing Mindfulness 24/7 regardless of situations and periods of life by making it the PRIMARY purpose and everything else being secondary. With Mindfulness, I am also talking about some byproducts like emotional mastery, slow deliberate healthy body movement and stance, lifestyle minimalism etc.

I would like to hear some expert opinions and personal experiences from those who have actually lived in this condition for 6 months/1 or more years. Your answer will be very much appreciated and will help a fellow guy trapped in between divinity and being a lost soul. If there are any discussions/forums/videos especially on this topic please do share. Looking forward to some reply. Thanks in advance

it's just as realistic as i am feeling the keyboard on the tip of my fingers as i am typing right now, thinking of a way to describe to you the amazing feeling of realizing BEING at this exact moment. being present and sincere right now is the only way if you don't want to be full of regrets in your deathbed. there's no other teaching. give yourself a moment to think about it because it's one of the most powerful insights that you can allow yourself to have.

i want to share this book with you. read it slowly, preferably one chapter or sub-chapter after a meditation session. it teaches you the main principles of living spiritually connected. i repeat. read it slowly. it's life changing. it's your medicine.

Thank you thank you so much buddy

@ajasatya Thanks a lot for your kind and genuine response. I will try heart and soul to follow your directions. I've been practicing mindfulness through meditation (1 hour, 5/6 times a week) for about 6 months.

The only realization and 1st hand experience I've had is understanding how much I am unnecessarily suffering all throughout the day and how it all stems from my thinking patterns, decisions, interpretation and response. And the surprising thing is, it is all considered "normal and healthy" in everyone around me. Also I am not interested in building a spiritual life for explosive sensations, temporary highs anymore. I want permanent transformation and life mastery 24/7.

Thanks again for your kind reply. I think the value you are providing here is immeasurable. If I can really develop permanent goodwill, then any goodness that will come through me, will be due to a sincere contribution you made today. I wish you all the richness of life. Take care you good sir.
