1.
I love horses, but I'm terrified to ride them. Even with the countless times I
have ridden, I always petition God for a safe experience before climbing into
the saddle.
2. I know I'm supposed to be thankful for all things, but I rarely thank God for adversity. I don't like to step out of my "comfort zone", and difficult challenges are more than I want to face. I realize challenges are for experience and becoming a stronger/better individual, but I'll pass, thank you.
3. I'm a little obsessive/compulsive. You will sometimes catch me pulling whiskers off of my face or hair from my ears. Things that are out of place create chaos for me. Co-workers used to go into my office and move things around just to see if I would notice and put them back into place. They would turn golf balls in display cases slightly askew, pictures slightly out of alignment or move the pen on my desk. I could walk into the room and immediately notice everything that was out of place. I would put those things back in place without realizing I had done so and it generated great entertainment for my peers.
4. I hate shaving. I only shave because 1) I can't grow a beard, 2) I don't want my kisses for Coralee to be abrasive, and 3) because I can't grow a beard, I would look like a mangy badger who just got in a fight with his co-worker for moving around things in his office.
5. I love teaching to small groups of people or even speaking at large events. I have an ability to engage an audience and entertain. I often tell personal stories when I teach, but somehow I can always manage to tie my stories back to my objective.
6. I am not a social person. In fact, I am quite introverted. For example, when I'm finished teaching I don't know how to engage with people afterward. It is very challenging for me to step out of my "comfort zone" and initiate conversations with people. It strikes me as funny that I can get in front of large groups of people and entertain them, but I don't know how to on a personal, one-on-one level.
7. I love children of all ages. Kids are drawn to me. I can make any infant or toddler smile. I'm the dad my kids' friends talk about and like to hang out with. I sometimes worry they go back to their parents and report that Corey Moser is not really a grown up and they should be worried there may not be parental supervision at the Moser's.
8. I love my job. I love the housing/mortgage industry. I love to educate people about it. I take things personally when people do business elsewhere. I recognize there are challenges in understanding much of what my industry is about or how to understand all that goes into buying or refinancing a home, but it pains me to see people taken advantage of. I see that often and I wish that was a part of my industry that was not broken. All of the new regulations have made things more challenging for people to get into homes and not necessarily safer or easier for the consumer to understand. The intent of regulation was to protect individuals, but I think educating and simplifying the process would fix a lot of what is wrong.
9. I love music. It is always playing around me when I work. It has a calming effect for me. I don't care for talk radio, because it is a distraction for me and makes me passionate for things I otherwise would not have been interested in. Talk radio raises my anxiety because I feel I have to focus on what is being said and it slows my ability to stay focused on the "task at hand.". I don't multi-task well, so you can see how talk radio may be a challenge for me. Speaking of my love of music, I would someday love to be a member of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Perhaps someday, I will overcome my fear, step out of my comfort zone and go try out.
10. I am loud, obnoxious and silly around my kids, but would be embarrassed to be the same around my wife. There have been times I didn't realize she was around and she has heard me singing to the cats or dancing to myself in front of the mirror. Most recently, I was sitting on the arm rest of a couch, rocking back and forth and swinging one arm around in the air saying, "I'm riding this couch like a horse." My son looked at me and said, "Dad, Mom is in her office." I turned bright red, dismounted my imaginary horse and retreated to my office.
