“When I look back at my life, I am happy to have had what most people would consider a successful life ...

If you just sit and observe, you will see how restless your mind is. If you try to calm it, it only makes it worse, but over time it does calm, and when it does, there's room to hear more subtle thing —that's when your intuition starts to blossom and you start to see things more clearly and be in the present more.
