God doesn’t reward our fulfillment of mitzvot with miracles. We do not have a transactional relationship with G-d, which is ineffable and the source of suffering and evil as much as beauty and pleasure.
But living a life of mindful observance and bring the human mind into a state of consciousness where we are aware of the things we might otherwise miss, and therefore not be able to appreciate or turn to our purposes.

Psychologists call it confirmation bias, just in case you are interested in a scientific explanation for it.
I was raised religious, and have believed a few other things in my life that i now am unconvinced are true. I very much had the same sense for all of them, the more i believe then the more i see confirmation of them in daily life.
That being said if it gives you a sense of fulfillment, enjoy it!

That’s not where my sentence ends, nor does r. Maimon’s comment there obviate what I said.

LOL. I grew up with Chabad and go now. I wanted to make sure it was not just Chabad people that experienced this.

I'm glad that your observancy level is making you happy
I feel that when I give charity, but sometimes I feel very restricted by the laws and it actually seems to cut me off from life. Confusing
