Creating Meaning
- Alex Hormozi discusses the difference between capital "M" meaning (universal meaning) and little "m" meaning (self-created meaning).
- He suggests that if there's no universal meaning, we are free to create our own, aligning our actions with it.
Beliefs as Assumptions
- Alex Hormozi views beliefs as assumptions, making them less tied to identity.
- This allows flexibility and detachment from ego, enabling easier adaptation to new information.
