From my experience:
After my startup got acquired, i ended up with lots of money (10s of millions, small start-up) and time. This created a vacuum in my life. I was very sad having finally made it.
I had no purpose in life.
Since then,
Self Acutualization - walking the path devised by yogic culture of spritualism.
Cannabis - The king of herbs, it helps me in self Acutualization and achieving state of trance aka ultimate ignorance.
Knowledge is only born out of something you don't know. If i accept my ignorance, suddenly it's no longer ignornance but something 'unknown'
If you already know something, then you won't gain any knowledge from there.
What did i gain? Finally, i am happy and content. My all questions about life have been answered. I've no need of traveling afar and exploring new places, I've no desire to travel back in past or future or to some distant planet.
- lolitan 8y agoso you don't seek for happiness anymore?
- mrhackerpoland 8y agoYes, i don't because i am already happy. It's not a goal anymore
- murukesh_s 8y agoWould you mind explaining the spiritual path you took/system you followed ?
- sauravt 8y agoVery interesting to see someone transcend all way to the top of maslow's hierarchy of needs pyramid. Having achieved this state, what do you look forward to when you wake up every morning?
- phkahler 8y agoWouldn't that be travel to the future? Just experience right now.
- smaddox 8y agoI'm glad you've found happiness. Have you found meaning? Personally, meaning is more important to me than happiness, though meaning often leads to happiness.
- goelakash 8y agoIMO, happiness is just a side-effect, and shouldn't be optimized, just like the taste of good food. What needs to be optimized are ways to sustain happiness, and one of those is finding meaning in life.
- techsin101 8y agoYou could have another goal. Help others achieve same success by mentoring them. For example for my startup, yime.app if I had a mentor doesn't matter how rich just experienced will I could talk to once in a while.. like startup dad. Id be very happy person.
- cvaidya1986 8y agoI am very happy you have achieved this.
