"My workmates, friends and more importantly, my family often remark on the improvements in me"

This journey began half a year ago. I was at a deadend. My life was stagnant. I was not unsuccessful and was by no means impoverished. I had my own house, 2 cars (and a motorcycle), 3 of my 4 children had their college degrees and the youngest was in a top 3 university on a scholarship grant. I am a physician with almost 20 years of experience and still very active in my profession. Many here would say i had it made. But I felt unsatisfied with my life. I mean, was this it? In retrospect, after gqoing through the quest, i realize i felt this way because I had no contribution to the world. Sure, I touched the lives of some of my patients and 1 way or the other made them happy, but that was the extent of it. 
One day, bored to my guts, i was scrolling through YouTube when I came across an old Silva meditation video. I had never done meditation and to this day I do not know what made me keep watching that video and the next ones. Then I enciunterd one by Vishen on six-phase and watched that too. I git so interested that I looked for and bought his 2 books, The Code of the Extraordinary Mind and The Buddha and the Badass. I also got the MindValley app but hesitated on the cost of membership. Then the ad for the Six Phase book came out, I pre-ordered that and so got an access to tge meditations. I went through the Six Phase Quest and decided that the cost of membership was well worth it and so got it. 
Of course I started with this quest. Halfway through the quest, just as i was starting on the lessons on intuition, i got into a motorcycle accident and broke the bones in my right leg. This happened while going through a training course. This training was more than 1 year in the making and my classmates and I were really looking forward to it and so everybody was expecting that i would be devasted that I will not be able to finish it. But, by this time i had already learned about Satori and Kensho and so took the accident as a learning and growth experience. Later in the quest, I looked back at the incident, and realized that the nagging doubt that for 3 hours before the accident had been telling me, screaming even, not to go through with the exercise because i was not ready was acually my intuition and i did not know how to listen to it. 
Finishing this Quest has brought profound change and transformation in me. My workmates, friends and more importantly, my family often remark on this "improvements" in me. Inside, this quest has brought me inner peace happiness in the now and a clarity on the contribution I wish to give to the world. I look at my patients from a new perspective now, one that includes compassion and gratitude. Especially those who are facing end of life. I want to help them find this inner peace and bliss in their remaining days. I have found new excitement in my life and a burning desire to contribute as much as I can with the time I have left.
