What would you stay for after you've done everything you wanted to do in this life?

Not looking for advice. Just some philosophical thoughts today. Knowing you've hit the peak of your personal fulfillment, knowing you'll never feel the same feelings you felt years ago. Accomplished all your aspirations, goals. Friends all gone. Family passed away.

If you wanted to stay, what would keep you here?

How would you know that you've reached the peek, though?

Do you know you wont feel the same way because you're old enough that there are certain things you can no longer hope to do? Or because you've literally done everything you want to do? But that still raises the question of how you know there isn't something else that would bring you sufficient joy.
