Our words directly influence the way we think & view the world.

Occasionally I'll say something that really stands out to me.

Sometimes I take mental notes. Other times, I forget what I said.

Here are a few of the #mozisms that have stuck with me over the years:
Most people's plans get worse when you add more time to the horizon.
The only thing that separates genius from insanity is the outcome.
Information learned increases in value over time.
Optionality is far more valuable than freedom.
In arguments, no one wins.
Childlike curiosity is a superpower.
You can get envious, or you can get curious.

Only the latter prepares you for growth.
When you get into hard times—

It doesn't change who you are.

It simply gives you evidence of who you are.
The stories we tell ourselves create the futures we're going to have.
The boat you're in right now probably isn't the boat you'll be in the rest of your life.
Most people do enough to maintain—

But not enough to drive adaptation.
Most people don't fear authenticity.

They fear the potential rejection.
Your actions are the end result of your values.
The boring stuff is often what you need to do most.
Legacy isn't real. Build the life you want for yourself.

I've been "rich" and I've been poor.

Here are some of the most impactful lessons I learned from both sides of the spectrum:
Money exists to buy optionality.

Do not trade optionality for it.
A challenging season is the price for a desirable trait.

Most of us want the trait, just not the cost.

It took me a long time to realize I could value a routine more than a relationship.
Ex: I can value not drinking in general more than a friend who asks me to drink.
Ex: I can value going to bed at same time and waking up at same time more than a friend who always asks to see me late.
