The Pursuit of Awesome with Charlie Harary

Seeing What's In Our Way

Charlie Harary discusses our blockers. Being aware of how our focus on results and outcomes instead of effort holds us back from real change. When we pay attention to that, we can get excited about challenges, learn to exert ourselves in the uncomfortable and be satisfied with effort-based wins.

Winning in a New Way

Charlie Harary discusses the world of effort. If we live having in a world where we have to be victorious over others and our environment, we win less. When we focus on effort instead of outcome, we win -- and gain -- far more.

Redefining Our Wins

Charlie Harary discusses comparisons. Our Sages say that a strong person is one who overcomes their nature. God only judges us on our own potential. Our real victories are not over others, they're over ourselves, and taking time to identify and process these wins gives us great satisfaction.

The Effort Is the Win

Charlie Harary discusses effort. 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. The outcome doesn't matter. Our real accomplishment is making the effort and then tackling the next wall.

Appreciating Our Efforts

Charlie Harary discusses the challenges we face. As we end our days, taking some time to appreciate the strength God gave us and the walls we broke through allows the growth and accomplishment we've achieved to settle in and we become aware of the true pleasure of overcoming challenges.

Behind the Action

Charlie Harary discusses hindsight. The commentaries we hear on the events in our lives, from others and ourselves, always come after those events. The commentators analyze what they saw, but they are outside the action, not participating. When we stop listening to them, we can free ourselves from "not enough" thinking.

Break the Board

We continue the discussion about our inner commentator and our MVP. At what times in your life will you listen to the commentator or when will you just play the game and relish in the moment?

Get in the Game

In this episode, we discuss being a player or commentator. Players move. They just look forward and play. Commentators discuss, think, replay. Which one are you?

When You See A Wall, Scale It

In this episode, we discuss having the courage to scale our wall. There is a time to think and a time to act -- knowing when the time is right to go over our wall and not turn around.

Being Real with "Not Enough"

Charlie Harary discusses taking the next step. When we truly are not enough for the wall in front of us, we can tap into our deep wells of strength — our souls — and accomplish things we perceive as beyond our capacity. That's how we move from "not enough" to "more."
