Unlocking Greatness with Charlie Harary

Resilience vs. Fear Part 2 Why do some people rise up during a challenge and some shut down, break down? In part one, we discussed the different ways we react to challenges. Today, Charlie begins to explain how we can tap into the higher ways of reacting like giving, resilience, sacrifice, courage, by beginning to understand how challenge affects us physically. What it does to our body. How our brain reacts. How survival mode affects us without us even thinking about it. And how we can get stuck in survival mode for a lifetime if we don’t do something about it. Before we can rise up, we have to understand what brings us down and how. This episode will clarify why so many react in fear, despair and brokenness. See you next time to start building resilience!

We see: Giving Volunteering Unity Courage Resilience Sacrifice Bravery For others we see: Fear Despair Brokenness Obsession with news And still for others, the response is: Hate Destruction Death How do we get on the good side and react in a way that demonstrates strength and goodness? Where challenge builds us? We have to have a very important conversation about higher self living, and lower self living. What is lower self living? Why do some people get stuck there? How does it start? Tune in to understand this extremely important concept, where we’re too focused on the self to rise above, before we pick up the higher self in the next episode.

With everything going on in the world, we find ourselves asking “why are we alive? What is our purpose?” There is a common and beautiful question we can ask ourselves to help us discover our purpose: How do I use what I have (resources, knowledge, challenges) to help other people? But most people are so busy looking for a huge cosmic, macro “life project,” when most probably your purpose is right in front of you. So today, look at your life and ask yourself, where are you needed? Who in your life really needs you? Your child? Your spouse? Is there a mitzvah in front of you? A person? Don’t look for a big important job. Look at what’s in front of you today, and how you can take care of that with the most energy, enthusiasm, and holiness! That’s how you find your purpose!

Rosh Hashanah, the Day of Judgment, is arguably the most significant day of the Jewish calendar. It's a day when your entire year, your destiny, hangs in the balance, and the heavenly court assesses your deeds. The seriousness of this day is akin to preparing for a major trial, especially for those familiar with courtroom procedures. In this episode, we explore the intriguing customs associated with Rosh Hashanah, particularly the tradition of consuming symbolic foods before the formal prayers begin. It may seem peculiar at first, similar to wordplay or a game, but there's a deeper meaning to this practice. Charlie shares a beautiful insight that reframes our understanding of these symbolic foods, known as 'simonim.' These foods are not mere word games or puns; they are triggers for blessings and prayers. They represent a proactive approach to co-creating one's future. Instead of passively waiting for divine judgment, Rosh Hashanah encourages us to take an active role in shaping our destinies. As the episode unfolds, we discover that these simonim serve as reminders of our ability to transform life's experiences into blessings. By connecting everyday items like dates, pomegranates, honey, and other foods to specific prayers and intentions, we elevate our perspective on life. We learn to respond positively to challenges, hoping for the best, and praying for the best outcomes. This practice reflects the idea that part of our judgment is based on how we react to the gifts and challenges that life presents. By using these symbolic foods as tools for introspection and blessings, we signify our commitment to making the most of what we have been given. Join us in this enlightening episode as we explore the profound concept of simonim on Rosh Hashanah, reminding us to actively participate in shaping our future, not just through prayer, but through the transformation of everyday experiences into blessings and positivity.

In this episode, Charlie delves into the intriguing concept of Rosh Hashanah, a holiday marked by joy and reflection, even in the face of judgment. The rabbis teach that on this day, happiness should prevail, and sorrow should be set aside, a notion that might seem paradoxical considering the seriousness of the occasion. The episode begins with a fascinating story about two strangers who become fast friends during law school. John and David, from different backgrounds, forged a close bond that seemed unbreakable. However, as life went on, they drifted apart. Fast forward 20 years, and their paths unexpectedly cross again, leading to a twist of fate that none could have predicted. The story takes a thrilling turn when David, facing a dire predicament involving a series of traffic violations, fears the worst. He recounts a nerve-racking courtroom scene where his future hangs in the balance, and an unexpected savior emerges from his past. The host draws a profound parallel between David's courtroom experience and the essence of Rosh Hashanah. It's a day of solemn reflection and self-assessment, where our deeds are scrutinized. However, it's also a day to rejoice, for the Judge is none other than the One who loves us unconditionally. The episode explores the idea that, just as David found unexpected mercy in an old friend, Rosh Hashanah reminds us that our Judge is a loving and benevolent Creator. It's a day to trust in His boundless love and to strive for a year of personal growth. Join us in this thought-provoking episode as we unravel the paradox of Rosh Hashanah – a day of judgment and joy, where faith and reflection intertwine to create a unique spiritual experience.

Join Charlie Harary in this engaging episode as he shares valuable insights on effective learning strategies and how to dive deep into new subjects. Whether you're exploring Judaism, investing, or any other area of interest, Charlie offers practical advice to make the learning process more manageable and meaningful. Charlie begins by addressing the common challenge of quickly losing interest in new subjects. He emphasizes the importance of going beyond surface-level knowledge and suggests a solution: diving one inch deeper than you initially planned. By striving to understand a topic at a level where you can teach it, you gain a deeper comprehension and retain information more effectively. Drawing inspiration from Richard Feynman, the renowned physicist and educator, Charlie encourages listeners to imagine themselves teaching the subject matter as a way to gauge their understanding. This approach helps solidify knowledge and ensures a comprehensive grasp of the material. Charlie advises setting clear boundaries around the subject you wish to learn. For instance, if you're interested in investing, define the specific area or type of investment you want to focus on. By narrowing the scope, you can avoid getting overwhelmed by an expansive field and concentrate on acquiring expertise in a defined domain. Whether you're a lifelong learner or starting a new journey, Charlie's practical tips provide a roadmap for effective learning. By going deep into subjects and adopting a teaching mindset, you can enrich your understanding, cultivate expertise, and make the learning experience more rewarding.

Welcome to episode 20 of Charlie Harary's Mindhacks Series Podcast. Congratulations on making it this far! If you want to continue the conversation or need additional resources, visit charlieharary.com or email ug@charlieharary.com. Charlie helps us: Take action now: It is so important to start immediately rather than waiting for the perfect moment. Get started on your goals, even if the circumstances aren't ideal. Waiting for perfection only delays progress. Practice and persevere: Charlie compares personal growth to practicing a skill or exercise. Keep swinging, keep trying, and keep practicing. It may not come naturally at first, but with consistent effort, it will become easier over time. Break it down: When facing long-standing challenges, identify the cues or triggers that keep you stuck in unproductive routines. Break down the problem into smaller, manageable steps, and focus on addressing the cues to create lasting change. Embrace the journey: Understand that change takes time and don't expect instant results. Embrace the process of practice, failure, and getting back up. Building new habits and routines requires patience and persistence. Be grateful: Charlie reminds us that the opportunity to change and grow is a gift. Appreciate the ability to improve your life and be grateful for having a brain and soul capable of making positive transformations. As you continue on your personal growth journey, remember to stay happy and enjoy the process. Change is a gift, and you have the ability to make your life greater with each step forward. Embrace the power of taking action now, practice consistently, break down challenges, and cultivate gratitude. Connect the dots, persevere, and build habits that lead to positive change.

In episode 19 of the Mindhacks Series Podcast, Charlie discusses the power of understanding one's identity and its role in personal growth and transformation. He emphasizes that true change begins with recognizing that one's identity extends beyond the limitations of the brain and is rooted in the soul, which is connected to the infinite. By embracing this perspective,we can tap into our potential and live a life aligned with our true essence. Charlie helps us: Reflect on the emotional charge behind our desires and motivations for change. Recognize that our true identity extends beyond the limitations of the brain and resides in the soul. Embrace the understanding that our soul is connected to the infinite and manifests desires and qualities such as kindness, generosity, and growth. Understand that personal growth may feel hypocritical as we adapt to new ways of thinking and behaving, but it signifies progress and evolution. Focus on identifying with our soul and its desires, allowing our mind to adapt and create systems that support our growth. Embrace the journey of constant revelation and transformation, understanding that who we were yesterday is irrelevant in the face of our decision to be the best version of ourselves now. By recognizing that our true essence resides in the soul and is connected to the infinite, we can overcome the limitations of our brains and tap into our potential for greatness. As we align our identity with our soul and adapt our thoughts and behaviors, we unlock the constant revelations of our spiritual greatness and manifest our deepest desires. Let go of the past, embrace your true identity, and live a life that reflects your highest potential. Thanks for listening, sharing, tagging, and reviewing!
