Wake up. Life is in session and you’re in control. Start your day with the jolt you need to create a life that makes you proud. In this podcast, you’ll gain the strategies and strength to tackle the day inspired to live AWESOME!
When you lead with your heart, you don’t just spend time on a task; you create quality time that enriches your soul.
When you plan for tomorrow, try knocking out some tasks you usually put off until the end of the day.
Streamlining our day-to-day to be more productive.
Charlie talks about everyday work stresses and how we can be more efficient.
Sometimes the anticipation of an event can be more enjoyable than the event itself.
Charlie discusses the importance of identifying with a cause greater than ourselves.
Sometimes we’re a physical body looking for success and pleasure to get through each day and each task, but maybe we’re spiritual beings looking for long-term emotional fulfillment, like an eternal flame.
If you’ve ever wanted to give up a project, you may be at the crossroads of comfort and greatness — and your identity will help you make your decision.
Charlie explores how spiritual connections to everyday things may help us live more intentional lives and simply feel better throughout our days.
Human beings try to predict the future based on past patterns.
Are you a physical body with a spiritual experience, or are you a soul with a physical experience?
When we surround ourselves with people who think and speak just like we do, our world can become an echo chamber.
Have you ever been in a work meeting where no one is on the same page?
Charlie reflects on the 4th of July weekend and the importance of having a plan to stand for something greater than ourselves.
Charlie discusses a theory about leadership.
Charlie walks us through the process of receiving wisdom.
Wisdom only works when we apply it.
True wisdom is found when observing and helping others.
Do you ever give someone advice and think to yourself, “Can I apply this to my own life?”
Charlie explores how uplifting others will help everyone lead to greatness, including ourselves.
Confidence is the first step to put in the work.
Sometimes we live vicariously through celebrities or professional athletes we admire, but Charlie reminds us that we can achieve our dreams ourselves.
When you dedicate time to a show, you’re creating a relational experience.
We are more powerful than the social media algorithm
When we commit to a new routine, we can find spirituality and clarity.
The grass is always greener, right?
Holidays like Shavuot are a chance to return to our spiritual selves.
Our brains don’t automatically take us to greatness. They only think of survival.
In taking time to disconnect from everyday duties, you can grow and discover who you want to be.
Keep a log of who makes you feel fulfilled and who makes you feel drained.
If we spend our lives measuring ourselves against other people or overcoming our lacks, we’re not going to have enough energy to get stuff done
Charlie discusses how selective memory affects our decisions and self-esteem.
Charlie dives deeper into Mimetic Desire and how we usually compare ourselves to people in close proximity to us.
Think about the things you say ‘yes’ to because you THINK you should.
Charlie explains why our desires shift based on other people’s acquisitions.
Charlie shows us the balance of making sacrifices to better the world around us while keeping our personal boundaries.
Just walk through the wall
What is blocking you from starting something new or making a difference?
When you start thinking of what needs to get done, you just do it.
Success means making sacrifices — but what if we don’t want to make them?
Charlie discusses taking time to live in clarity of what we believe and what to achieve.
Charlie discusses the importance of sacrifice in honor of the things we love and the things we want.
If you ever feel like you can’t do something, look two generations up.
Charlie discusses what “Never Again” really means and the importance of passing down that message for generations to come.
The Jewish people go through ups and downs. In our downs, we turn to G-d.
We all have a different narrative we believe about ourselves
Why do some stories move us and stay with us forever?
The most powerful, timeless educational technology is a story
You can’t be free if you’re not grateful.
Survival is how you’re built. Greatness is how you choose.
Your brain only knows yesterday. Your soul knows tomorrow.
Charlie discusses how freedom is achieved with our minds, not our bodies.
Find time to remember what is important on a spiritual level
Take time out of your day to open your mind to the world
The way in which we grow isn’t moment to moment, it’s when we find what lights us up
When you start to spend too much time [going] into yourself, you don’t appreciate what’s in the mind of another
If you don’t realize why you’re doing something, how are you going to stop it?
When we experience conflict, it’s important to take a step back from the situation and check ourselves.
We are responsible for creating positivity in our relationships.
Sometimes it’s hard to be told that our actions don’t live up to how highly we think of ourselves.
Learn how to appreciate people for who they are, not who we want them to be.
Loving someone for their whole self is one of the greatest gifts we can give.
You don’t lose when you give yourself to someone else.
We are all so different, and we need to put ourselves out there and learn what makes each other tick. Relationships are our opportunities to go beyond oneself and learn about others. Will you learn more about the special people in your life today?
Continue to ask questions and remind yourself that there is always more to learn about others.
In your next conversation, lead with empathy and ask questions.
One of the hardest parts about growth is that we don’t give ourselves enough time to reflect
Charlie teaches us how timestamps and time management can help us better ourselves.
Most days are spent IN our work as we concentrate on the tasks we have to complete.
Pausing for 60 seconds can change your whole day for the better
A threshold signifies opportunity and potential for change.
We don’t need to achieve some massive objective reward to feel massively successful
Take the time to review. Don’t rush.
How can we appreciate the value in life as it happens
Everything has purpose even if we don’t know the purpose.
Everything has a spark — even a task as mundane as doing the dishes.
Spirituality is achieved not by leaving the world but by elevating the world
Spirituality is key to unlocking the realization that every job is valuable.
We are meaning-making machines.
Everyone has a soul that drives us closer to meaning.
How can we make our goals valuable enough to achieve meaning?
What we’re going through now may not be meaningful for us in the next twenty years.
The Super Bowl teaches us that some days we win and some days we lose.
Challenges and adversity help you extract your soul and understand who you really are.
By analyzing Tom Brady’s retirement announcement, we can see that the path to being the best at something is to ensure that “thing” does not take over your identity because you’re able to maintain the ability to adapt, change and grow accordingly.
We live in a world where who you are is tethered to what you do. We need to think about our identity as a powerful source that is flexible and adaptable.
As social beings, we often prioritize social acceptance to the detriment of bettering ourselves.
Rather than living life in a perpetual state of busyness, we need a quality control process for how we spend our time. Prioritizing our time and the actions we take enables us to live a life of greatness.
Focusing on the critical details and being selective in where we invest our efforts leads to greatness from sports to business.
Identities are ways we dress ourselves up without even realizing it because we’re naturally inclined to feel socially accepted.
We need to form our identity based on who we believe ourselves to be instead of how others perceive us.
Trying to uncover what we are unable to see will ultimately help us reach our goals. And we can use our goals to help us appreciate the action we took to get there.
When your end goal stops being relevant or no longer holds value, your means to get there rapidly shift.
When you live in a space too focused on achieving results, you often miss the joy of the actions you take or neglect to see the benefit you might gain.
We want to take action for the sake of improving ourselves versus taking action for the sake of rushing to the desired result.
Physical success does not translate into spiritual satisfaction.
What drives us comes from an inner source- our soul.
Our souls are satisfied when we are driven to self-improvement
We need to embrace the mentality of doing action for the sake of action in order to achieve greatness.
We need to shift our mindset and realize that the new action in itself is what truly matters.
Starting a new ritual brings excitement and anticipation.
We often credit ourselves for being more patient than we are in reality.
We live in a world of wanting instant success. But our lack of patience is one of the greatest hurdles that stands in the way of achieving that success.
Successfully achieving change.
To achieve our next-level growth, we need to dig underneath our resolutions and understand why we are setting out to achieve our goal.
A true resolution is what you want to want.
Resolutions do not fix whatever problem or improvement we are trying to implement.
Be free from yourself.
To get something to stick, it needs to make its way into your heart.
Living a disciplined life enables you to adapt- not because you have to but because you want to.
Creating stronger discipline around your mind gives you the ultimate sense of freedom.
The best time to train your mind to distance yourself from negative thoughts is when you’re living in a time of plenty.
Planning for a famine when you’re in a time of plenty helps you live a life of fulfillment, appreciation, and gratitude.
Investigating the Biblical story of Joseph’s interpretation of Pharaoh’s dream provides key insight for how we can learn to live a life of happiness.
We can’t control the thoughts that enter our minds.
Anticipated negative feelings stand in the way of blocking our minds to think freely.
Being right doesn’t always mean we “win.” Winning is when we can learn how to prioritize others’ feelings instead of our own need to be right.
The context in which we present information to others greatly impacts feelings and related memories and experiences.
Being a victim makes us see our situation as one that can’t be fixed because we have no control.
Looking for the easy route perpetuates jealousy.
We need to learn how to extract the greatness in ourselves and continually embrace the challenges that come our way.
If we’re able to push ourselves into exploring unfamiliar territory, we can unlock our fullest potential and achieve personal greatness.
The appropriate amount of pain and discomfort that takes place after a workout is actually a sign of growth.
Our soul is impacted by our actions.
If we want God to treat us with miracles, then we have to treat him with miracles.
If we can embrace the unpredictable, we could open a world of infinite possibilities.
The reason why we’re not growing is that we’re cutting that potential off from ourselves because it takes work.
When we go out into the world we lead with our brain, not with our soul.
Our brains love yesterday because it’s easier.
In order for us to overcome our challenges we have to be different people.
A life of purpose means that we recognize everything we are going through is specifically custom-designed for each one of us.
When we focus on building a life that is aspirational, our life changes.
The mind is the gateway to the soul and our mentality is critical to our state of being.
The more we imagine, the closer we come to being that person until we actually are.
Using the imagination triggers the brain to make us more comfortable to be the person that we want to be until we actually become that person.
The natural trigger of negativity is a body response to the world around us. It is part of our fight or flight response.
The way for us to maintain our energy. is to never deal with a negative.
We can’t live great lives if the emotions of yesterday become the emotions of today.
We have the ability to control our emotions. Happiness is in our hands.
Real leadership and influence is the recognition that our actions are bringing out the best or worst in others.
The influence that we look to in our lives that really matters is the influences that are small, private, and consistent.
Our comments, actions, smiles, frowns, how we deal with challenges, how strong we are in our faith has a ripple effect.
Unsung heroes are regular people that have a sense of responsibility
A leader is someone that is fully aware at all times that we represent more than ourselves.
The way WE treat somebody teaches the person watching how to treat somebody.
A few dedicated people could do amazing things for the world
In the pursuit of physical things, we can miss the depth of our lives. We miss a life of deep relationships, spirituality, and meaning.
Spirituality means that we’re not in control. It means there’s more than “ME “in life.
When we’re not open, we start losing opportunities that will never come back.
Success happens on the way to something else.
We have to be ready and enthusiastic for the different directions and detours that God sends us.
Greatness requires daily consistent effort and faith.
Why can’t we travel to the past or future? Because we don’t belong there.
God gives everyone free will to make our own decisions, but once the decision is made, it becomes God’s will.
The more space we make for others, the more Divine energy we will have within.
Faith doesn’t mean we don’t do the work. It means we work really hard, understand what our job is, and let God do the rest.
Every morning we wake up as a new person with a new opportunity to make a difference.
When we move from trying to predict what our lives could be and drive toward planning an empowered, happy life, our energy is limitless.
To become the best version of YOU, you have to play the game.
The frustrations we see in this world come from our own bias and from trying to control that which we can’t control. When this happens, we block our energy from flowing and the ability to be fully present.
It is up to us to remember that we can remain empowered by believing “Gam Zu L’Tovah”- this too, is for the good.
Energy flows from perspective. It is a resource that comes through your mind out to the world, you perceive it(be it negative or positive), and then comes back to you.
Our past experiences and the emotions we choose to focus on informs our future projections.
The energy we have stems from the Divine and is limitless.
How much energy do we bring into our daily lives?
If we can approach our days with positivity and also dig for the energy within, we begin to utilize all of our resources to their maximum potential.
Create higher dreams and higher standards and higher ideals of what this year can look like.
The world is constantly changing. When we don’t change with it, it holds us back in living to our greatest potential.
Spirituality is a set of boundaries. The more we become ok with what we can control and what we can’t control, we start to look at life and the boundaries we set as opportunities for freedom and autonomy.
When our head and heart are focused on that which we can’t control, we lose the chance to control that which we can control.
When physical pleasure consumes our inner circle, there’s no room left for our spiritual desires.
Our values can give us a sense of deep satisfaction that get us towards mastery and connects us to others.
We’re so overwhelmed with processed experiences that our ability to appreciate the healthy things in our lives are dulled.
What is the object of your mastery? What’s in the center of the game called “your life”?
If we can focus on our own life, rather than other externals games, we will begin to tap into our own greatness.
External inspiration can be the springboard for internal inspiration.
The process of going from good to great starts with not what you’re bad at, but from what you’re good at.
Life requires us to dream and execute on those dreams.
Start making changes by looking at areas that you’re good at. When you do, you can become great.
What makes us great is when we choose to change even when things are good.
Negative thinking creates blockages to our energy source – our soul.
Don’t look for meaning in your life – infuse meaning in your life.
You can’t look at the past from today’s perspective.
Be mindful and focus, and you will be successful.
Every time you come into the unknown, there will be fear.
Sometimes the experiences you’re going through seem unique to you – until you realize what you have learned in another area offers you insight into the other.
Having a growth mindset allows you to take on situations in life and learn from them.
Having a growth mindset acknowledges you are capable of growth and change.
Each step, each day we get to choose to take responsibility to make our lives the best it can be.
When we allow ourselves to use the past as our teacher to analyze our mistakes and get uncomfortable, it can open up a world of true freedom.
Our past can become our greatest teacher.
Everyday is an opportunity to learn from our mistakes
We continue to dive into the concept of winning and losing.
How can we achieve moments of greatness?
Discover why Moses had his “glow” and how you can, too.
By bringing out the “real you”, you start to gain perspective on how to create a new way of life.
Is it ok to be down sometimes when life just doesn’t go our way?
Just as 90% of an iceberg is underwater, the vast majority of what great people do is hidden from view.
Charlie Harary discusses our focus
We’re steeped in a culture of measuring ourselves by our results. When we shift our brains to focus only on pushing ourselves to maximum effort, our success and growth come from inside instead of being based on external results.
Charlie Harary continues discussing effort.
Being aware of how our focus on results and outcomes instead of effort holds us back from real change.
When we focus on effort instead of outcome, we win — and gain — far more.
Our Sages say that a strong person is one who overcomes their nature. God only judges us on our own potential
When we take on our challenges, when we go through our walls, even if the outcome is not what we wanted, we grow and we win.
Charlie Harary discusses the challenges we face.
Charlie Harary discusses hindsight.
We continue the discussion about our inner commentator and our MVP.
Are you a player or commentator.
Here is a time to think and a time to act
Charlie Harary discusses taking the next step.
Charlie Harary discusses self-improvement.
Charlie Harary discusses overcoming fear.
When we articulate the things we’re afraid of, we begin the process of breaking through what’s holding us back.
Charlie Harary discusses what living authentically.
When we’re scared to climb the walls in our lives, it’s easy to substitute with the drugs of entertainment and others’ lives, but those leave us unfulfilled.
When we’re inspired, the first thing we have to do is overcome “it’s too much” and “why me?” thinking.
When we’re inspired, we have an opportunity to change, and we have a choice to make.
Negativity and pettiness in others are opportunities for us to build our selflessness, empathy, and self-control muscles.
In relationships that matter, it’s so hard to get past the uncomfortable and openly discuss our true feelings.
In an environment where honest and transparent speech is welcome, we can be uncomfortable and frank.
When we use our free will and choose what kind of person we want to be, we allow our souls to re-wire our minds.
Charlie Harary discusses demystifying our minds.
Every challenge we face is a gift.
Inspiration and our reactions to negativity are emotional and they dissipate very quickly.
Charlie Harary discusses turning around emotion and energy.
Charlie Harary discusses overcoming adversity.
Charlie Harary discusses our goals.
Charlie Harary discusses resilience.
When we hit peaks and valleys in our lives, we can go the well of our energy to help us through.
We want to tap into something greater than ourselves but often we aren’t sure how.
Charlie Harary discusses the limits of self-awareness. Knowing our strengths, weaknesses, and inclinations is helpful and important, but we sell ourselves short when we think we know our limitations and how big our energy reservoir is.
Charlie Harary discusses our power supply. We don’t know the depth of our energy and ability. Until we push ourselves past what we think is our end, we think we’re limited. The truth is, our souls have an endless supply and we don’t really know this until we spend everything we think we have in the tank.
We can direct the power and strength God gives us each day. That energy is a gift that comes with a mission: We have focus and bring it to the things we need to get done.
Charlie Harary discusses energy. Our brains try to protect us by encouraging comfort and relaxation, but when we infuse our time with energy, enthusiasm, and boldness, we can accomplish so much more.
By investing our focus and intention on every moment, we can live each one to the fullest without letting one bleed into the other. When we cross over from one mode to another, we treat time with the respect it deserves.
Like a patient who survives despite being given slim chances of survival, there is no “natural” explanation for the existence of the State of Israel. When we’re asked “Where is God?,” Israel answers the question.
When we put ourselves in the shoes of those who sacrificed for Israel, we can truly empathize, and when we learn from the example of those who sacrificed everything, we learn of the greatness that comes from living for cause.
Time is not ours, it’s an investment in us by God. We have a responsibility to use it well. If we start our mornings with gratitude, it sets a tone that can carry us through the day.
Our brains struggle to imagine a situation we’re not in. When we appreciate productive time and don’t try to be where we’re not, we can take responsibility because we won’t want to waste that time ever.
When we appreciate every moment instead of forcing accomplishment into them all, we can be amazed by time and live overflowing with gratitude for the day.
Holocaust survivors have gifted us a level of strength we cannot imagine. Our duty to them is to carry and build on their legacy, thrive, and make them proud.
When we are responsible for our time, taking care to spend it productively and with focus, we are able to cross the long bridge from our heads to our hearts. The awareness we gain from this builds us and others.
In new situations, our brains work harder and time slows down. Then things become routine and time seems to fly. When we automate our day for excellence, as opposed to simply automating it, we can feel each moment in our day and really engage.
