Background: Dispositional mindfulness, the ability to stay present and aware in the moment, has been shown to enhance self-esteem, which in turn, positively impacts life satisfaction, which is a subjective evaluation of one’s quality of life. Aim: This study explores the relationship between dispositional mindfulness, life satisfaction, and the mediating role of self-esteem. Materials and Methods: A sample of 200 university students aged 18–25 years participated in the study, measured using the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS), State of Self-Esteem Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. Pearson’s correlation and mediation analysis using PROCESS Model 4 were conducted. Results: The significant positive correlations were found between mindfulness, self-esteem, and life satisfaction. Mediation analysis showed that self-esteem significantly mediated the relationship between mindfulness and life satisfaction. Conclusion: Mindfulness enhances life satisfaction through self-esteem, emphasizing the importance of self-esteem in this relationship.
