Gracefully retiring CostFreeNess for Oneself

Hey.

Comes a time, when a concept has done its duties towards one.

One’s own philosophy has undergone many x.y upgrades, on the back of the wealth being created by a concept, …

… … one like … …

…CostFreeNess.

Why would someone then retire such a concept?

Perhaps requirements from the field of action have changed.

Yes.

That’s the one.

Let’s divide the timeline of action into before and after.

Before today, the day of retirement [of CostFreeNess, for me], I was getting established.

The extra boost supplied by CostFreeNess was…

…required.

It gave a feeling of doing something right.

I don’t need that validation anymore.

Walking towards different heights, climbing new peaks, setting forth in motion new paths, pioneering a new trajectory – casting off the transient and revealing the true – to quote a central axiom of Nichiren Buddhism – all this – requires walking free from older concepts that were once pivotal for one.

Were.

What’s coming is not where these are pivotal anymore.

Hence the retirement, for myself.

With lots of thankfulness and gratitude.

CostFreeNess is long not done for others, in different phases of their market trajectory.

CostFreeNess is a king-maker.

I remember describing it as the closest thing to a holy grail in the markets, starting the sentence with, if I remember correctly, that ‘although no holy grail in the markets exists, …’

In this space, you’ll find many, many pieces, during which this concept was developed and during which it saw itself through, to its logical conclusion.

Of course many others would have discovered this pivot for themselves; CostFreeNess is a universal phenomenon, albeit abstract; it exists like the wind or the rain, or like sunlight and the mountains.

No one here is claiming that they are the founders of anything.

If at all, I have repeatedly remarked, that …

… we stand on the shoulders of giants.

And, to make it a better world, we pay our debts forward.

At times, something we work on …

… becomes a giant …

… like CostFreeNess.

Please feel free to stand on the shoulders of a giant called CostFreeNess, and progress on the back of its propulsion.

Using Auto-Manual Mix Towards Peace of Mind

Create…

… an asset.

Move on.

Create…

… next asset.

Move on.

Loop to the nth and decide what your magic n is.

Retire.

Ha!

Formula for financial independence in 22 words?

You decide.

How?

By treading the path.

The act of creation is manual.

One can use many tools while putting the asset together manually. That’s absolutely fine.

Let the asset loose.

From this point on, it’s on auto.

It’ll remain on auto, hopefully, till its logical conclusion is reached.

If the asset misbehaves in between, it will attract your attention.

If your attention is attracted beyond your critical mass, you will stop what you’re doing and attend to the asset.

You will either tweak and repair and let it loose once more.

If the asset is beyond repair, you will terminate it, i.e. sell it off, even at a loss. After all, it is misbehaving. You don’t wish to hold something that bothers you.

Peace of mind is the most valuable asset in your portfolio.
