The Cult Of Done Manifesto

1. There are three states of being. Not knowing, action and completion.
2. Accept that everything is a draft. It helps to get it done.
3. There is no editing stage.
4. Pretending you know what you’re doing is almost the same as knowing what you are doing, so just accept that you know what you’re doing even if you don’t and do it.
5. Banish procrastination. If you wait more than a week to get an idea done, abandon it.
6.The point of being done is not to finish but to get other things done.
7. Once you’re done you can throw it away.
8. Laugh at perfection. It’s boring and keeps you from being done.
9. People without dirty hands are wrong. Doing something makes you right.
10. Failure counts as done. So do mistakes.
11. Destruction is a variant of done.
12. If you have an idea and publish it on the internet, that counts as a ghost of done.
13. Done is the engine of more.

The Cult of Done Manifesto by Bre Pettis and Kio Stark

[The Buddhist texts] are not meant to be "sacred scriptures" that tell us what to believe. One should read them, listen to them, think about them, contemplate them, and investigate the present reality, the present experience with them. Then, and only then, can one insightfully know the truth beyond words.

Sumedho Thera:

sit like a rock

from conditions, things arise.
build your gardens.
icestorm practice drill.
earthquake volcano ocean floor.
it's not meant to be a strife.
it's not meant to be a struggle uphill.
two mice fell into a bucket of cream.
one gave up, drowning immediately.
the other swam, churning the cream.
climbed out on the butter.
a nation of immigrants.
didn't mean to get so wrapped up.
thick headed, it's service to others.
a scratch turned scab.
no time for kissy face.
it's insane.
