You’re learning all the time. Want to do everything better, absorb everything you might need. You’re a lifelong learner. Shovelling knowledge into yourself like there’s no tomorrow.
Because maybe tomorrow you’ll need it. Maybe.
More is better. Right?
But what actually sticks? What do you really implement?
Are you hiding behind your learning? Spending precious life hours on stuff you’ll never use — and you already know it?
What could you do with that time instead? If you stopped trying to collect more, let go, cleared your head and became present for yourself and others?
This post started in German on reinergaertner.de — yes, 1997, I’ve been doing this a while. The translation was AI-assisted. Any remaining awkwardness is authentically bilingual.
