Reinvent your Life - Charles Bukowski

“Invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
don't swim in the same slough.
invent yourself and then reinvent yourself and
stay out of the clutches of mediocrity.

invent yourself and then reinvent yourself,
change your tone and shape so often that they can never categorize you.

reinvigorate yourself and
accept what is
but only on the terms that you have invented
and reinvented.

be self-taught.

and reinvent your life because you must;
it is your life and
its history
and the present
belong only to
you.”

― Charles Bukowski, The Pleasures of the Damned

Many days I would listen to this ten times in a row in the early morning, alone, living in a foreign country, just to get the strength to keep going...

[TheBorg]

I've died a thousand deaths, each time reinventing myself brighter, stronger, and purer than before. From the midst of destruction, I become the creator of myself. From the midst of darkness, I became my own source of light.

The problem with the world is that the Intelligent people are full of doubts, while the stupid ones are full of confidence.

“Sometimes you climb out of bed in the morning and you think,
I'm not going to make it,
but you laugh inside,
remembering all the times you've felt that way.”

I was thinking there is nothing for me in this world, at midnight alone. When I heard it it gave me courage to live.

I'm starting to learn that the masses, the ones who all claim to be experts in their fields, really don't know what they're talking about and they know it. You can turn all of their heads with your new unorthodox approach. Ignore their rules and simply create.

Saw this after going through a beautiful life crash.. REINVENTING myself now 🚀💫 wish me luck guys 😇 soon love & truth will rule the world

[notnow]

I've been watching this over and over because I'm at this point in my life that I must reinvent myself. If you've acquired a high degree of success in a certain area, this is very hard to do. It's easy to stay within the success you've obtained. The change is giving up that success to move to your next level. One of the greatest life lessons we all must learn.

Anyone going through distress that no body can fathom because only you can understand how much it hurts, keep going friend. I am in your shoe, but we will make it - one day.

Great video Bukowski is always deeply honest and truthful.

*Charles Bukowski was legend.*
Roll the dice and
The Laughing Heart one of my favourites.

[RemedyUnderTheSun]

This is something you should listen to every morning before you start your day.

I can't get over how good of a production this is. The poem, yes. The visuals, yes. The voice, yes. Beautiful on all accounts. Thank YOU, honestly :)

[graylane]

Now, that was one of the most powerful 90 seconds of my life <3

[MM-qres]

The poem is actually called 'No Leaders, Please'

[kristinedee]

Amazingly powerful. Often what we dont think we possess ...we dont think to use until we MUST.

[MrRoshiBoshi]

listenimg to this on Christmas Day 2022 from Australia alone and crying my eyes out trying to find a reason to keep going.
Charles always gives me one.

[angiedick]
