Hebrews 11:15, 16

"And if indeed they had been mindful of that place from which they went out, they would have had a season to return. But now they crave a better place, that is, of upward-vision: Therefore Placer is not ashamed of them, to be called their Placer; for he hath prepared for them a city."

One of the current "in" words of our times is mindfulness. And it can, indeed, be a very useful one. In this case, the significance lies in what Abraham was not mindful of: his place of beginning, the journey's starting point. For someone who is trusting fully, the importance of this journey is where we are going in our lives...not where we began.  Our mindfulness is focused on an "upward-vision": the highest and best of the divine plan.  In fact, as the Etymological New Testament has it, we "crave" the better.  It is with the most intense of longings that we press on in this life of faith, of trust in Placer.
