Choose Freedom (5:27)
What is freedom? It isn’t a right, it’s a responsibility. It’s not a gift, but a choice. You don’t get freedom, you earn it. It’s the choices we make, the opportunities we take, and the actions we do. It’s our ability to go through pain, to grow, and to achieve greatness

Ability (23:04)
The Charlie Harary Show Episode 2 How do we access our greatest abilities that may lie dormant within us? Does recognizing that one has more abilities lead to taking on more responsibilities, or does assuming more responsibilities cause one to uncover the great abilities that they posses? And why is taking responsibility the only way we will allow ourselves to grow and thrive? Join Charlie Harary in discovering why one must obligate themselves to be successful without allowing for an escape route so that failure isn't an option, and only then can the great inner strengths come to light
