Charlie Harary discusses The Power of Thank You Hashem

In this episode, we discuss asking questions and digging deeper to find out what another person really wants and needs. That sensitivity and thoughtfulness makes us better givers and builds the recipients of our giving.

In this episode, we discuss the slow process of building others up. By empathizing, we give from the receiver's perspective. Then, even if they forget us by the time they "arrive," it doesn't matter because it's not about getting credit.

In this episode, we discuss going beyond giving to the level of empowering others. Listening, supporting, and believing in other people builds them and enables them to become bigger themselves. By giving in this way, we emulate G-d.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of focusing our giving on the needs and desires of the recipient rather than on what we would prefer, we show them what empathy is and help them grow as givers.

In this episode, we discuss the beginning of giving. We start becoming a giver by deciding to become one. The more we give, the more we become worthy of giving and the more giving opportunities G-d will offer us.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of recognizing what stops us from being next-level givers. It's scary to put ourselves out there, but if we push ourselves and really, truly want it, we can attain that level.

In this episode, we discuss transactional and unconditional relationships. When we focus on giving all the time unconditionally, our stance toward others is totally different than if we're concerned about the return.

In this episode, we discuss how the ability to be a giver makes us sweeter, better people and is the greatest gift we can have. Receiving, when not paired with giving, spoils the receiver.

In this episode, we discuss emulating G-d by being a giver, which we do by looking at the paradigm of giving as our only real goal. Sometimes that means receiving or accepting or holding back, but always with the intent that it's best for the other person.

In this episode, we discuss how to build giving without expectations into our lives. By starting small and working our way up to bigger things.

In this episode, we discuss giving to others expecting absolutely nothing in return, including acknowledgment. How others react is not relevant. What really matters is doing the right thing and bringing our light into the world.

In this episode, we discuss making giving to others our mission in life. This allows us to stay above the fray when those to whom we give don't appreciate it or reciprocate. When we give simply for the sake of giving, we become like G-d.
