Chasing Symbols

Charlie Harary discusses how society pushes its game on us. When we chase goals and symbols that others impose on us, we give up control over our core principles. It's up to us to cross the river, as Abraham did, and stand on the other side.

 

Knowing What We Stand For

Charlie Harary discusses our foundations. When we are clear about what we stand for and what our values are, we are able to drive our lives forward and control the aspects of life that we are able to control.

The Hidden Holiday of Growth

Charlie Harary discusses how the holiday of Tu B'Shevat celebrates the unseen foundations that are the start of growth.. Once we know what we're willing to die for, real living begins when we sacrifice for those things.

Striving For More

Charlie Harary discusses the foundation of our lives. The things we do throughout the day are resting on top of something. That foundation is key. When we start with striving for greatness, we are able to sacrifice for what is really meaningful.

What We Do for a Living

Charlie Harary discusses pushing ourselves to look at the things we do as our livelihood. This way we fully commit to what we're doing and we can push ourselves past comfort into the mediocrity-killing pain of sacrifice.

The Cure for Mediocrity

Charlie Harary discusses what it means to sacrifice. When we put ourselves through pain for the things that matter, it distills us and removes the just-be-comfortable mediocrity from our system regardless of the results.

Small Gains

Big visions may excite us about the future, but they may also fail to point us in the right direction. If marginal gains lead to growth, what might a one percent achievement look like to you? 

The Giving Trap

Charlie Harary discusses the result of giving. It's very difficult to disconnect the recipient's reaction to a gift from our feelings as givers. If we feel we're sacrificing for someone, we may measure the result of the gift, which increases our pain.

 

Climbing Over the Wall

Charlie Harary discusses growing in our giving. We reach a level in our giving where we have to overcome the challenge of not receiving positive responses. That requires sacrifice, which means giving even when we don't feel like it. This is the realm of real growth.
