Daily Boost with Charlie Harary

Ep 10. The Regret of Living Your Life for Society Approval


Listen Later


Are you making choices based on what’s important to you, or are you caught up in what others expect? In this episode, Charlie unpacks the subtle ways we lose sight of our own priorities—chasing external validation, comparing ourselves to others, or following paths that don’t align with who we are.

Charlie explores how to focus on what truly matters. He offers practical insights to help you avoid the regret of looking back and realizing you spent too much time living someone else’s life.

Key Takeaways:

  • Your life has its own mission. Stay focused on what’s meaningful to you, not someone else’s version of success.

    • Comparison distracts. The more we focus on others, the harder it is to stay aligned with our own purpose.

      • What you prioritize shapes your life. It’s not about doing everything but about doing the right things well.

        • Regret comes from misalignment. Reflecting on your values now can help you avoid looking back with “what ifs.”


          Your life reflects what you prioritize. The earlier you focus on what really matters, the more fulfilling your life will be. Think about one area in your life where you’re prioritizing someone else’s expectations over your own values. What’s one change you can make today?

          Listen now to gain clarity on how to live according to what matters to YOU.
