The Pursuit of Awesome with Charlie Harary

The Start of Freedom

Charlie Harary discusses Egypt and freedom. In Egypt, God told the Jews to bring a sheep, which was a god to the Egyptians, into their houses in preparation for Passover. That was a big risk for an enslaved people, but it started them on the road to freedom.

Immediacy

Charlie Harary discusses timelines. The narrative of the stories of G-d and history are slow-moving, but our internal timelines tell us something is wrong if results aren't immediate. Focusing on what's right at this moment, on the task at hand, frees us from the need for immediacy and helps us let go.

Choosing Our Narratives

Charlie Harary discusses shared narrative. We have a narrative that's an inheritance from our communal ancestors. When we're confronted with negativity, whether internal or external, we can choose that shared narrative of strength to overcome the challenge.

Changing the Plot

Charlie Harary discusses times of challenge. By controlling the narrative, we can help ourselves and others be resilient. In the face of negativity, we can choose to control and change the narrative into one of positivity. This empowers and drives us and those around us.

The Power of Narrative

Charlie Harary discusses how we remember. Stories become the narratives that remind us of events in our lives. Memories can block us or empower us. The narratives that are told to us and that we tell ourselves become who we are.

The "I" of the Storm

Charlie Harary discusses the source of negativity. Behind the door of "Not Enough" is a self-focus that tricks us. We think "I'm not enough" means we need to fight for more "for me." But if we attack the "I," we can instead do what's right, simply because it's right.

"Not Enough" Thinking

Charlie Harary discusses how we think about ourselves. When negative interactions throw us off, we think we're "not enough" in a negative way. In reality, no one is "enough." Our "not enough" areas are opportunities to get a little better every day.

The Desire for Completion

Charlie Harary discusses feeling complete. Connecting what's outside us with what's inside us creates a desire. We feel completeness by bringing the outside and inside together. Channeling our desire toward others means our completeness will come from giving.

Underneath It All

Charlie Harary discusses deeper desires. Underneath thought and speech lies a drive to fulfill a deep-seated desire. We speak negatively when the underlying need comes from a feeling of "not enough."
