Charles Bukowski
1920 –
1994
if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it.
if you have to sit for hours
staring at your computer screen
or hunched over your
typewriter
searching for words,
don't do it.
if you're doing it for money or
fame,
don't do it.
if you're doing it because you want
women in your bed,
don't do it.
if you have to sit there and
rewrite it again and again,
don't do it.
if it's hard work just thinking about doing it,
don't do it.
if you're trying to write like somebody
else,
forget about it.
if you have to wait for it to roar out of
you,
then wait patiently.
if it never does roar out of you,
do something else.
if you first have to read it to your wife
or your girlfriend or your boyfriend
or your parents or to anybody at all,
you're not ready.
don't be like so many writers,
don't be like so many thousands of
people who call themselves writers,
don't be dull and boring and
pretentious, don't be consumed with self-
love.
the libraries of the world have
yawned themselves to
sleep
over your kind.
don't add to that.
don't do it.
unless it comes out of
your soul like a rocket,
unless being still would
drive you to madness or
suicide or murder,
don't do it.
unless the sun inside you is
burning your gut,
don't do it.
when it is truly time,
and if you have been chosen,
it will do it by
itself and it will keep on doing it
until you die or it dies in you.
there is no other way.
and there never was.

This is exactly what I needed now. I'm not going anywhere in life and I'm not able to succeed in anything I do. I'm broke, I don't have a job, no education and no drivers license. I have no hobbies and no friends. I try every day to do something to succeed but, it's just not working, for some reason.

Human obsession with having control on all facets of our life, overstretching overselves unnecessarily , and over-analyzing things go against the Taoist concept of YinYang. We tend to focus too much on the Yang aspect while seemingly ignoring the Yin. If one keeps standing on their tip-toes, they'll never stand firm.

Only thing ill say to this is sometimes you can be capable of something but you get in your own way. And when we actually allow our mind to do what it knows how to do, we succeed. Its like playing guitar, you can know a song well enough, but when trying to play if you focus in on every note it is hard to play it well, but if you find that zone of letting your mind and hands do what they know how to do, it comes out as it should. Much of life is this way, our minds are far more capable than we assume if we get out of the way and let things flow.

This works for me for example when playing darts, I can win my pro friends with ease when I get into the right mode and not try and play just for the win. I see winning more as by product of the game and it's not the thing I get most out of. It's incredible and works with tons of other activities as well. Even with music and arts if you have the basics.

One day I told myself that I don't want to limit my self in words. I don't want to be happy or sad or anything. I let my self to feel everything without wondering what it . And that day I was set free.
