‘Stop in your tracks’ moment

If we were at the height of our career, enjoying excellent health, having great friends, colleagues, family, etc., why would we want to stop and take a long hard look at our life? I suspect it's not the kind of thing one would naturally do. We might have a 'stop in our tracks' moment once in a decade, barring tragedy (a family death) that would automatically hit us with a 'stop in our tracks' moment. During a recent radio interview, the radio presenter asked me if I ever stood back and took stock of my success during my heyday (I have been a successful songwriter). I answered that at the time, I was too busy writing songs.
