Yea that's a fairly reasonable way of looking at it.

So was just wondering for those who are able to meditate and focus, what was your goal or the reward you feel you got by persisting with meditation?

Generally speaking it's discovery and healing in the 'truth will set you free' sense.

My personal reason for trying to meditate is to first feel some peace of mind and also to see if I can experience absolutely anything spiritual that would make me feel there is something bigger than standard human life.

A human life is what it is about, but there is a lot about ourselves we don't know, have forgotten, or have never seen.
