Charles Bukowski | THE MIND, GO ALL THE WAY ᴴᴰ | Motivational Poem 

The Algorithm saved a life tonight... Edit: Chose to move into a travel trailer for 3 years while using my GI bill because enduring this for that long...saves me 30 years of work. Lost a girlfriend or two making this plan a reality. I have gone all the way. The love is felt :)

Death is not the greatest loss in life, Loss is when life dies inside you while you are alive ..

Isolation really is the gift....

“My Dear, Find what you love and let it kill you. Let it drain you of your all. Let it cling onto your back and weigh you down into eventual nothingness. Let it kill you and let it devour your remains. For all things will kill you, both slowly and fastly, but it's much better to be killed by a lover. -Falsely yours”

"isolations is a gift"

"Despite rejection and the worst odds, and it will be better than anything else you can imagine." I'm holding onto that.

“Soon you'll be ashes or bones. A mere name at most - and even that is just a sound, an echo. The things we want in life are empty, stale, trivial.” Marcus Aurelius

Isolation is a Gift. Embrace the reality that we r All truly alone. Prioritize your wants, calm your mind, then proceed from there.

There Are Ways Out. There Is a Light somewhere.

it feels like a message directly from the heart of the universe

When you meditate upon this masterpiece, what was in your heart? Do it.

"Your life is your life. Know it while you have." - these words...

"You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire." Powerful! Makes me think about another related saying. "Greatness is built when no one is watching."

I don’t know who this is, but he’s speaking to the cure of me. I have lost friends, family and everything I once knew in the process of working on myself. I am writing with tears in my eyes and anger in my heart; In hopes of one day I’ll be able to give my gift away for free. Thanks for sharing this🙏🏾

When people learn to do, rather than try to do, they succeed. This is beautiful.

“You can’t beat death but… you can beat death in life.” This statement grew on me over time. Powerful!

Isolation is a gift, all else is a test of your endurance.

Many videos claim to be the best motivation.. but few actually are... this is one of the few..

This is what it’s like being self-employed. You try your hardest and make a lot of mistakes that cost money. You try you fail, you try you fail over and over and get deeper and deeper into debt….. DONT GIVE UP! The joy is in trying to make something happen. DONT GIVE UP! if the 1st venter fails try another! DONT GIVE UP! Bukowski said “If you’re going to try go all the way. All the way..” your end goal may not be the same as the one you started with. Things change people evolve, the goal posts move. DONT GIVE UP!

This helped me in my darkest hour. Never give up .. go all the way !

I've been losing everything and everyone due to isolation. After listening to this, I'm never stopping until I achieve my aim. Thanks for sharing

Listening to this every morning when I wake up is my key to success

Go all the way - Charles Bukowski “If you’re going to try, go all the way. Otherwise, don’t even start. This could mean losing girlfriends, wives, relatives and maybe even your mind. It could mean not eating for three or four days. It could mean freezing on a park bench. It could mean jail. It could mean derision. It could mean mockery - isolation. Isolation is the gift. All the others are a test of your endurance, of how much you really want to do it. And, you’ll do it, despite rejection and the worst odds. And it will be better than anything else you can imagine. If you’re going to try, go all the way. There is no other feeling like that. You will be alone with the gods, and the nights will flame with fire. You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is.”

37 yrs old and just coming across this awesomeness, still thankful, but thanks public education

Seeing that there’s 6 years since someone ever posted something new about this video … maybe i’m adding up to keep the comments going but … Hell yeah! Go all the way! There’s no other feeling like this. Otherwise in years from now your subconscious will play with you and for a spare second will make you close your eyes and wonder … Was I ever able to do just a little more? Was it necessary to look like a fool? Was it worth my sleepless nights and all the hot tears i’ve been putting my body to release? You’re life is your life … leave it to the fullest youtube people! GO ALL THE WAY! In the end of the night, YOU put your head on the pillow. Nobody else! Love yourself!

As a Christian this slaps! Ive only ever prayed for the salvation of Gods lost sheep and for a family to serve God with, i dropped out of college to serve God! I broke up with my gf to b clean for Jesus! Ive given a lot of money away to help people escape the pit, years over years and still God havent answered that pray, ive seen all my other prays get answered except the pray to have my own family! And still i serve , ive seen many miracles, ive had dreams come to past that people thought would never happen, years and still have not my desire! Lung problems, heart problems, pelvic floor problems, my parents live in seperate countries and its challenging taking care of them with no siblings ! I live alone , been burnt out, ive conquered suicide, depression, betrayed by fellow christians, seen my father go partially insane, seen my mom cry n cry, been keeping my parents encouraged while running on fumes, been evicted, ive sat in a pitch black appartment craving attention but i stayed silent with my eyes full, ive been cold, empty, numb, ive even prayed for death. I deny my flesh because i choose the cross and still i serve God! Doctor said My step dad didnt hv long to live if he kept eating 1 plate of food a week , after 2 werks of pray he was in the buffet! People came to kill the brother i been praying for and not a single shot scratched him even the police couldnt believe it after seeing the crime scene, my dad has survived heart attacks! God has blessed me with a job so that i can help them who i love! And God continues to show me that the family i been praying for is coming, its already been many years but.....faith.....mathew 24-“those who endure unto the end shall be saved”..”i will ride life into perfect laughter”

It awakens all your senses and puts life in its proper perspective

The poet speaking directly to poets. The most courageous poets "Go all the way! Do it, do it, do it!" Amen 🙏 👍 👌 😊

You can't beat death but you can beat death in life.

This poem heals me each time ,sometimes when I’m on the brink of giving up breathing

Rudyard Kipling’s IF is another amazingly powerful poem.

I used to grow ideas until this man taught me how to not give a shit and let them grow and write themselves. Thank You Charles... You beautiful bastard.

Life is an endless tangled process of pain, discovery, irony, learning, and awakening. No matter your gender, race, nationality, culture, human or even animal, we are all born into this world to fight. Every single being has their own wars to fight. I do not think it will be, or ever was different, on this earth at least. But the toughest and the most important war of all is the war within. And I respect and love all my fellow fighters, even though I do not know all the wars you are fighting, and you do not know any of mine, I love all of you and I am here to remind you that you may be fighting your wars alone, but feel united in the fact we are brought into this world as pure, clueless beings, who evolve in many different ways. We are alone in this journey, and yet we are all together. We are all one. Peace and love. P.S. Charles Bukowski helped me push through some of the darkest and loneliest moments of my life and for that I am forever grateful to this genius of a man.

The go-to anthem in my weakest moments in the last 5 years! Thanks for putting it together! "Do it... All the way!!!"

It's 2023 and I'm still listening.

Goosebumps. No words Can explain the emotions after listening those words.

Charles Bukowski. Wherever you are now. Thank you for these words. They saved my life.

Goosebumps are mandatory!!!!

I miss my friend. this was our first poem together. with love from the abused kid from up north in Scotland. how wonderful it was to inspire each other. I had so much fun. thank God for the telepaphone! X

Putting interstellar in the backgroung! It is like Hans is doing his thing and Charles is going all the way as usual! Perfect.

This is on a par with “Do not go Gentle into that Good Night”. Amazing. My life in a poem.

Stay strong! You! Yes you if your reading this!

Man, this makes me cry.

I was walking home from work the other morning, not knowing why I do what I do, is it worth it,, why?? Am I to old, has life and anything I have to give passed by? So many doubts, ,, and this came up on my feed!! OUT the blue ❤

Wake Up!!!... Your life is waiting... Time is ticking... Find your WHY and pursue your Purpose... Don't let 'yourself' get in your way... The mind is a battlefield ignore that voice of rejection, of doubt, of worthlessness, criticism, guilt, shame, past mistakes...The devil is a liar... You're never too old it's never too late to go after your dreams, set your goals, make a plan & execute... Shift your negative thoughts into positive affirmations & manifest the life you want... Love yourself... Make a move, 'stagnation is not an option'... Take a risk... Fail to suceed... Face your fears... Go head on head with your GIANTS... Sepearate yourself from the wolves... Eliminate energy drainers... Live life to the fullest... Keep digging deeper even when they say you can't... Remove yourself from toxic enviroment, people, distractions, negativity, naysayers... Adversity will knock on your door keep pushing through the storm and you will OVERCOME any obstacle... Embrace change... Embrace suffering... Endure pain... Laugh in the face of the enemy... Life is a test, in every test there's a testimony make sure you share yours with the world... Go Beast Mode... Live & laugh through your darkest moments... Be a light to those walking in darkness... Don't give up 'you're so worth it'...If God be for you who could be against you (NO BODY)... Your journey could be a lonely one and that's ok keep soaring like the eagles and roaring like a lion... Speak live over yourself... Put your old man to death (die to self) be born to light and start living... Though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, you will fear no evil, for you are not alone, God, is with you... Be kind to yourself... Your life is waiting!!!... God bless you, you who are reading...

"He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God." -- Aeschylus

My new personal mantra thank YOU Mr Bukowski

I feed my beautiful beast inside of me with this poem 💪🏼

By far the best poem I ve ever heard. Thank u for this.

I love listening to this. It's like motivational advice from Emperor Palpatine.

I don't care who reads this, just wanted to throw my voice into the abyss I've just broken my arm playing the sport I love, and it made me question whether I want to keep playing this sport. Whether this sport was worth breaking my body over, I felt as though my days as a player are over and I am only 21 years old. My mind is saying to stop but every fiber of my heart and spirit is screaming to keep going, because life is a challenge that tests your character, and what does it say about you if your give up, who will look upon you if you walk away? Who will remember you if you gave up? What will your children and loved ones think? I refuse, I refuse to be forgotten, so I will keep moving forward and i will live every single day as if it is my last day on earth, because i will be remembered for what's inside of me, regardless of the obstacles that have gotten in my way. Keep moving, keep striving to be better.

There is always a bit of light. A crack to scratch. There is always a bit of light. Be prepared. It's hellish for everyone. "The more often you learn. You are marvelous. The gods wait."

This reached deep into the core of my being, and I have been in the dark chasing that glimmer of light - this has captivated my soul!

It beats the darkness. Move towards the light.

｡✧*.｡My life lesson｡✧*.｡:: I've stopped listening to music that have -too much words in-, and this have improved my life fr. Ppl don't really think about how much music actually impact our thoughts, like majority of the lyrics are negative and toxic. I hope this helps someone who’s stuck with toxic music. Peace and love.

Do not stop. Go all the way. Launch yourself into the day and give it 100% and do not care what other people think. That's none of your business anyway.

And once a day this reminds me to hold an incorruptable resolve. I have experienced most of what he's forewarned on my own path. I'm not going to stop, and if you were thinking of giving up, don't. The scent of the full harvest of my choice is on the horizon. Suns coming up and it's about to fully bloom.

“You can’t beat death, but you can beat death in life” No matter how pointless or meaningless it all seems, atleast we can stand victorious in the end. It might not count for much, but it is YOUR victory and nobody can take it from you. Go all the way.

I’m making the decision to truly follow my craziest and wildest dream today. I just moved to Big Island Hawaii with some friends. I know we are meant to co-create magic together, but I need solitude right now. Fasting, tuning in with my heart. My dream is to travel the world. To be authentically free. And to inspire others. I’m gonna buy a tent and sleeping bag with my remaining funds and live on the beach. I’m ready. I’m scared but goddamit I feel so fucking alive. I know I’ll find a way. And that millions of unseen forces are with me. I admire all of you who have the courage to truly honor your deepest nudges, no matter how insane. I’ll likely start documenting it on this channel.

Top resume of how life works when You start sailing towards your dreams. Resume of life when You start to live life alive.

Im in my darkest hour in my life. I decided to change me. I took on of my mother cigarettes and went to the bathroom then i light up the cigarette and pressed the play button. This was the most important cigarette in my life and my eyes got teared up. From tomorrow il change everything about my life. Wish me luck. Forward is the only way out.

Who is the narrator…his voice is so moving….Charles poetry has always been beautiful….but his voice adds so much power! Lets Goooo! Keep going! Never give up up! Love is Life and Life is Love! You are not alone! We are all one!!! ❤️

Let’s go all the way. Let’s go out. Let’s keep going ……… FREEDOM

I write, this is the single smartest piece I have ever heard.

No wonder Mark Manson mentioned him at the start of "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F**k"

My favorite. Absolute favorite!!!

You won't be forgotten. I wish I could have met you

Tumultuous words A poem that concrete wondrousness in abundance

"Some people choose to be great, others at buying movie tickets." - Unknown

You will ride life straight to perfect laughter. It’s the only good fight there is. ❤️

Sitting here.... in straight tears....thx Charlie! For keeping us moving forward!

I love it…he’s such a great thinker and masterful writer and this piece was amazingly composed

Love this and love how you added the track from interstellar very nice 💪

I HAVE TO KEEP GOING, I NEED TO DO IT!!!

Thus gets me through the day, I don't mind getting beat up if I always remember these words

All the way... Your poem has given me strength. Thank you, Charly 💕

Your Anger is a Gift!!!!

I have taken the road less traveled and that has made all the difference.

So I just moved away from home. About a 6 hour drive and to a major city. I'm chasing a dream. I currently live with ten other people in a house so I can only pay 300 dollars for rent and have to work two jobs to finance my dream. This is a huge downgrade from the comfort of living at home. Now I'm not complaining, in fact I'm content. Now I've heard this audio a million times but I had come back to a quote that finally made sense to me. "Isolation is a gift". It truly is. When you truly give up safety and comfort for a dream it changes something inside of you. Now I still miss my family and an easy life, but I have never worked so hard ever. AND I ENJOY EVERY SECOND OF IT. Every paycheck gets me a little bit closer. Shed what you need to shed. If it hurts to lose it, then it might just be the thing holding you back.

What a fantastic poem! Marvelous recitation! I love it.

A VERY POSITIVE MESSAGE..THE WAY TO REALLY EMBRACE LIFE

Almost in isolation.. I'm ready to finish this. I've lost alot. People are always watching.

Deep wisdom ❤

Yes, this beats the darkness

Isolation is a gift.

These words are not just written it's consecrated.

you are all that you need. Start to understand that , build on that. Not because you are selfish, but by taking care of yourself , you can help others with knowledge, passion, a drive for life.

At times, well many times as a missionary I went to jail and isolation became a gift....the prison became a palace....don't fight it....give into your pain and in time it will become a joy..it will change...or you will change..either way. ....joy will fill you.....

My god, my phone must be listening to my prayers, this speaks to me.

This is fantastic. Im 34 and only hearing the full thing now part of it is in a motivational video i watch.

I finally found a courage through Charles, a treasure.

Every time I want to give up, I have to remember this poem. Its one that helps me grit my teeth and push through...in everything. Amazing.

Love solitude and discover thyself

Here on earth there is no light no more, only darkness

I keep coming back to this video. I now get it 100%
