“When I look back at my life, I am happy to have had what most people would consider a successful life ... More than anything else, I attribute it to meditation — partially because of the creativity, partly because of the centeredness … I think meditation has been the single biggest influence on my life.”
— Ray Dalio, founder of Bridgewater Associates

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.

I am experiencing a number of benefits but the one I am most cognizant of is an increased ability to avoid distraction in a conversation or some other situation where I need to be focused. Meditation is like repetitive exercise of the focus muscle in the brain.
