  • Ep. 5 The Questions You Never Ask But Should
    Dec 17 2024
    What drives you—truly? Most of us move through life chasing goals without ever asking why. In today’s episode of The Daily Boost, Charlie Harary invites you to uncover the hidden motivations behind your actions. Learn how asking the right questions can unlock deeper awareness, joy, and fulfillment

    The Transformative Power of Questions: Asking “Why am I doing this?” creates self-awareness and opens your mind to a deeper understanding of your goals and behaviors. The value lies in the questioning, not necessarily the answers.

    The Journey Over the Destination: True joy is found in striving and growing, not merely in reaching the goal. The process of self-discovery is the reward. Understanding Mimetic Desires: Much of what we pursue isn’t innate but imitated from our environment. Recognizing this can free us from chasing what doesn’t truly satisfy. Probing Unlocks Depth: Just like uncovering hidden compartments in a vessel, probing our minds allows us to tap into new layers of awareness and wisdom. Embrace the Uncomfortable: Growth begins where comfort ends. If self-reflection feels hard, you’re on the right track.

    Do you feel like you’re chasing goals that leave you empty? Or stuck in patterns without knowing why? This episode will inspire you to pause, reflect, and uncover your deepest motivations. By questioning your actions, you’ll learn to live with more intention, clarity, and purpose.

    Homework: At least once today, pause and ask yourself, Why do I want this? What need am I trying to fulfill? Write down your answers and reflect on whether they align with your true goals and values.

  • Episode 4. Needs v Wants- Where do our desires come from?
    Dec 11 2024

    Are your goals truly yours, or are you chasing someone else’s version of happiness? In this episode of The Daily Boost, we unravel the mystery of what drives our desires and how past experiences and future expectations shape our inner world—and sometimes hold us back.

    The Equation of Desire: Your desires are more than basic needs; they’re shaped by past experiences and future expectations. Understanding this equation can shift how you pursue fulfillment.

    Environmental Triggers: Your surroundings and upbringing condition how you meet your needs—be it food, success, or validation. Are they leading you toward true happiness?

    Distinguishing Needs from Wants: Needs are innate, but wants are often influenced by what’s familiar or expected. Learning to separate the two can transform your inner world.

    The Danger of Dysfunction: If your environment feeds unhealthy desires, it can steer you away from genuine fulfillment. Awareness is the first step to breaking the cycle.

    Pause and Reflect: Take a moment to ask yourself: What am I chasing right now, and why? The answers may surprise you.

    If you’ve ever felt stuck in the rat race or questioned why certain goals don’t bring lasting happiness, this episode is for you. Charlie Harary unpacks how our inner world is shaped—and how we can reclaim control to live more meaningful, purpose-driven lives.

    How To Live A Better Life

    Did you know your greatest obstacles aren’t out there—they’re within? In today’s episode of The Daily Boost, we dive deep into the invisible battle between your inner and outer worlds, and why mastering the inner world is the secret to living with purpose, control, and joy.

    Main Takeaways:

    The Inner and Outer Worlds: Your outer world is the 'game' you’re playing, but your inner world—the 'controller'—determines how you play. Learn to separate the two to live intentionally.

    Triggers and Reactions: Everyday moments, like a comment or a passing thought, can hijack your focus and mood. Awareness is the first step to reclaiming your control.

    Inner Work Matters: Success in the outer world starts with refining your inner world—your thoughts, feelings, and reactions. Character traits like jealousy and pride can derail you, but they’re fixable with effort.

    Homework for Growth: Today’s action item: Simply notice when your inner world is affecting your outer actions. Label the difference to start building clarity and control.

    Visualize the Game: Picture life as a video game—your outer world is the screen, and your inner world is the controller. How you manage the controller shapes the entire experience.

    This episode is a wake-up call for anyone feeling stuck, reactive, or out of balance. It’s not about changing the outside world—it’s about shifting how you see and respond to it. By tuning in, you’ll learn to start mastering your inner life, the true foundation for better relationships, deeper spirituality, and lasting success.

  • Reclaiming Your Inner World
    Dec 5 2024

    Do you ever feel like you’re living two lives—one in the world everyone sees, and another in your mind?

    In this debut episode of The Daily Boost, Charlie Harary dives into the secret battle between our outer reality and our inner world, revealing how jealousy, lust, and the pursuit of honor can pull us away from true fulfillment.

    Main Takeaways:

    The Two Worlds We Live In: There's the external world of actions and interactions, and the internal world of thoughts and emotions. True joy and strength come from mastering the inner world.

    The Danger of Disconnection: You can have everything externally—success, relationships, material comfort—but still feel disconnected or unfulfilled if your inner world is out of balance.

    Three Traits That Steal Your Life: Rav Eleazar HaKaapar’s timeless wisdom teaches that jealousy, lust, and the pursuit of honor disrupt your internal world and prevent you from thriving.

    Jealousy’s Power to Distract: The first of the three traits, jealousy, takes us out of our own lives by fixating on what others have instead of appreciating and building our own.

    A Path Forward: Focus on controlling your inner world, not just your external circumstances. This shift is the key to unlocking joy and strength in life.

    Why Listen:

    If you’re struggling to feel present, fulfilled, or in control of your emotions, this episode will give you the mindset shift you need. Charlie’s relatable stories and deep insights will inspire you to take charge of your inner world and rediscover your purpose.
