You don’t need it.

People say

“You always have to keep learning.”

I say

“Fuck that.”

There’s no amount of knowledge that will give you what you already are.

Knowledge can be fun, it can be practical, it can be entertaining, and it can be intellectually challenging, but you don’t need it for happiness.

It’s mostly ultra-light distraction with an attitude.

You don’t need to collect mental gems or facts or figures.

You don’t need to hoard other people’s ideas.

Just look at young kids: no knowledge.

No yoga, no meditation, no issues.

No non-dual philosophy, no Buddhist chanting, no gratitude journal.

And almost always ridiculously joyful.

Choose your own stuff in life, whatever that may be (and of course, that CAN be adding things to your mental storage facility).

But don’t just do what you think you should do.

You don’t really need it.

I’m done learning.

Fucking done.

The only thing I want to get better at is not thinking and not being interested in other people’s thinking.

Simple.

Cool.

Bliss.

BOOM!
