you would think this would be an easy question to answer, it used to be, but now i have no answer.  I dropped the past, there is no future, that only leaves me in the moment of life, and luckily i can enjoy that in a conscious and present state of being.  So i guess my answer is i have no end goals.  Is that a bad thing or a good thing, if i was functioning as an unconscious human identity it would be a bad thing but i no longer function as an unconscious human identity, so maybe its a good thing that i dont have goals, what ya think there Peak

I mean at some point, personal development will end and just became maintenance work. Examples: You spend 10 years meditating everyday for 1 hour and get new experiences every now and than. But once you reach enlightenment it will just became maintenance work.Example 2: You study art and how to draw and start from the basics and work your way to the top by practicing and using deliberate practice to focus on one skill set while having fun along the way. At some point you will run out of ideas and stuff to do. Same thing for bodybuilding the gains are slow than medium to fast than back down to slow pace. At some point, the gains will be so little that it's just maintenance work.

you said: But once you reach enlightenment it will just became maintenance work,    how do you know this?

Key is there is no completion, once you're done all those goals what are you gonna do? And then what? And then what? List goes on and on.

I honesty don't know what happens when you reach enlightenment. Sense I'm new to the whole meditation thing.( I started back in the first day of 2016 but miss a lot of days and only meditated here or there.) But Leo said something in one of his videos where once you have a breakthrough experience in meditation, you get to meditate throughout the whole day and be aware of it. I guess this will help: http://paidtoexist.com/meaning-of-life-enlightenment/
