Vision - You Are The Architect of Your Future - a podcast by Eric Wagnon & Jefferson Harmon

Speaker 1: Hey, what's up everybody This is Eric and Jefferson. You're listening to Rad Dad Secrets episode 10 you are the architect of your future, 

Speaker 3: so the big question is this. How do regular dads like us who weren't given a playbook on parenting who only have 24 hours in a day to make it all happen How do we provide for our families in a way that will allow us to raise happy, successful children and have a thriving marriage while still being a man and doing the things we love That is the question and this podcast will give you the answers. This is Rad dad secrets. All right, everybody. Glad to have you back on and we're excited for today. I know on the last EP 

Speaker 1: facade we mentioned today we're going to be talking about something super critical, super exciting. Your vision, and this is one that I'm super passionate about and it's one that I go back to an address on a very consistent basis. It's vision is powerful. It literally creates your future. I remember when I was dating, my wife decided that I was going to ask her to marry me. He called her dad. That was not the easiest thing I've ever done in my life. But he said yes, and I was like, sweet, obviously doesn't know me just getting, but to propose, I want to do something crazy, super cheesy because that's kind of who I am. So I created these like vision board type things, you know, I put some pictures of us while we were dating and I said just dating and I put some pictures of us while we were engaged and then some pictures on a different papers that just married and then some pictures on a different one saying you know us in the future. 

Speaker 1: Right. And so I kind of presented these pictures to her, gave her some flowers, propose you, you, you assume the sale. I like that. Yeah. Right. Well I had already kind of gotten the sale sold before I actually proposed that I, I wasn't that risky. So anyway, I give her these with, with no real intent behind these pictures, these collages that I made for her and, and I learned later on that that's basically a vision board. Right. What's your super duper powerful I didn't know it at the time, but what's interesting about six or seven years later, we were going through stuff. We were moving and we're going through our boxes. I pull them out and I look at them and the just married. I had, you know, I'd put a picture of us with a dog with a cat, with a certain kind of car with this, that and the other. And seven years into it, I would say about 90% of everything that was on that picture had come completely true. Completely true. And it's just, it's what I had envisioned us doing once we got married. It was in that moment really that I had the Aha moment and the power of creating a vision. And since that time I was like, dude, if that worked, I'm going to continue to do this. So making vision boards, sitting down, envisioning with my wife and creating that has been a part of a part of our from then on. 

Speaker 4: Yeah. It's crazy to think that just by doing that you can, you can, like you said in the very beginning, you can become the architect of your future. You can plan your future even though you have no idea how everything's going to work out. That's what I love about visions is you just set that out there. You said it like you, like it's already done. Like you already have it. You already have it and it's crazy how it works, but I'm the same thing. I, I've done vision boards in the past and it's the same thing. As long as you're working towards that, you can't just set it there and put this collage. Are you up in this vision board and just, and just look at it every day and do nothing, right. You have to have action. There's a quote that I like. Um, vision without action is merely a dream action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world. And that is so true because you can't just sit there, you know, have this vision a
