The moment is all that matters. Tap into being present with two brain hacks from Charlie Harary.

Being perfect isn’t only not real, it’s not even desirable. The goal of practice is the excitement that lies in growth.  Liulei Nishmat Noach ben Chaim, who taught us by example to pause, evaluate and if one has made a mistake, admit to the mistake even if the confronting party is much younger than you

Preparing for Yom Kippur means understanding that we are not meant to be perfect.  Liulei Nishmat Zilpa bat Akiva, who taught us by example that one needs courage to truly live

Rosh Hashanah is about who you are and who you want to be. We have energy and potential beyond what we can even perceive.

Any resistance to faith will come to the forefront once you hear something that inspires you. Take that opposition and put it to work.

If you want new information to change the way you live, you have to do the work – not once, but over and over again.

It’s not enough to just have the knowledge. It’s about engaging with it in a real way.

New information needs to be mindfully, and meaningfully integrated into our lives before we can move forward.

Humans have the unique ability to adapt to new environments. If you want to change something in your life, start with deliberate practice.

Knowledge is only the first step toward growth. The next step is action.

Like an annual performance review, this unique month of reflection prepares us to stand in front of the ultimate CEO.

In our finale of the Boost, Charlie thanks you for spending a few minutes a day with him. As you continue to go about your days, he asks you to take time to decide what you want to accomplish in each situation that greets you. When you lead with your heart, you don’t just spend time on a task; you create quality time that enriches your soul.

How do people achieve incredible things in their lives? Charlie thinks it’s because they see the things they don’t want to do, and they do them immediately. We can all learn from this. When you plan for tomorrow, try knocking out some tasks you usually put off until the end of the day. That might just help you learn and grow.

In this episode, Charlie helps us find out what we can control and what we can’t. From there, we can work on streamlining our day-to-day to be more productive.

Are you stuck on calls all day and left with no time to ACTUALLY get your work done? Charlie talks about everyday work stresses and how we can be more efficient.

Did you know that sometimes the anticipation of an event can be more enjoyable than the event itself? Charlie explores the science behind the limited pleasure our minds and bodies can experience and encourages us to search for deeper meaning in the world around us.

In this episode, Charlie discusses the importance of identifying with a cause greater than ourselves. We can find this when joining an army, a sports team, a family, or even a personal mission.

In this episode, Charlie explores this idea: Sometimes we’re a physical body looking for success and pleasure to get through each day and each task, but maybe we’re spiritual beings looking for long-term emotional fulfillment, like an eternal flame. When we find that emotional fulfillment, we act as the flame — not the wick holding the job together. We can move past our physical body and discover our infinite essence in a finite world.

If you’ve ever wanted to give up a project, you may be at the crossroads of comfort and greatness — and your identity will help you make your decision. Charlie encourages us to think about who we are and who we love most dear. “That identification is what gives us the strength to push forward,” he said.

In this episode, Charlie explores how spiritual connections to everyday things may help us live more intentional lives and simply feel better throughout our days.

Human beings try to predict the future based on the patterns of our past. In this episode, Charlie explores the idea of letting go of the future, because who we become may pleasantly surprise us.

Charlie encourages us to take 5 minutes today to answer this question: Are you a physical body with a spiritual experience, or are you a soul with a physical experience?
