It’s an intuitive sense.
I mean, in general, you are going to realize your life has “gotten better” on some level. (That doesn’t mean “perfect or ideal” but better)
But that’s the issue, it’s soo very individualized.
I would think most people would “know” that their life is “better”.
But there’s going to be a percentage where a lot of “seemingly” bad stuff has to happen first before they are on the “right track”
And I can’t personally guarantee how long that would take or when it might happen
ie. what if things are going great for 8 months and the 9th month everything turns to shit because that’s what needs to happen for financial/emotional/spiritual “best path”-ery? (I like that word)
See?
That’s how these things work though.
