![]() Our intentionality came from: If you're married more than five years, you're not married to the same person you married. Did this intention come from, 'Uh-oh, our relationship isn't working, and unless we do something.'? I met her when I was 15 years old, and we've been married 11 years, we've got four kids, we run a bunch of businesses together. And me and her are closer today than we've ever been. And when I wrote it down, when I said it out loud, when I let my intention be known, and I put that vision down on paper, it's been two and a half years, and every week we've had a date night. I had to write it down and I had to write it down to the point where it became written down in my calendar every week. ![]() Very basic, like: "I will date my wife for the rest of my life." I said that out loud, but it wasn't enough to say it. And so the first thing I did, honestly, is got a vision, and wrote the vision down, and made it plain. They're scared to even say, like, "You know what, I hope to be working a job that I have time for my family.". And most people are scared to even say what they're hoping for. I think the first thing that you have to understand is: When you say what you desire, it begins to move your life in that direction. And when I make that space every day, it's so crazy that one hour out of 24 hours can begin to set the trajectory for my life, my family, and miracles to happen in my life that really make me feel like I'm just a part of something that's way bigger than me. You know the crazy thing, Hoda, is people aren't still enough or silent enough to even listen to themselves, to be able to see how they're feeling, to be able to see what is being told to them by the people they love, and by the things that are speaking to them. And other times it's like, "Hey, pray for that family," or, "Go give to that person," or, "Read this scripture over and over and over and over again." And I just follow those promptings. And sometimes it's things like, "Go take your wife on a special date." And I just feel impressed to do that. ![]() So, something that's a practical practice for me every day is: I have what I call "quiet time." Where I do meditation, prayer, I read scriptures, and I write down the things that I feel strongly impressed on my heart. You know the crazy thing, Hoda, is people aren't still enough or silent enough to even listen to themselves, to be able to see how they're feeling, to be able to see what is being told to them.
