Speaker 1 (00:00):
Here's my clothes remarks. I want to remind everybody I
was Oprah's had been on TV for years talking about
dream boards. And the first time I saw a dream
board was in nineteen seventy four. Friend of mine named
Marvelus Marvin Harton. I was in his dorm room one
day and on his mirror he had what he called
(00:22):
the treasure map. And on this treasure map he had
things on it, and to graduate in four years. That
was his plan, to play Jamaica Sci five, that was
his plan. And he had several other things. But he
had a treasure map. He had timelines on it, and
I'd never seen that, and I stopped him. I said, hey, Marvelous,
(00:43):
I said, what is this right here? He said, this
was like a treasure map. Man later to learn it
was what's called a vision board. He said, but this
is how I put the things in front of me,
my goals and hopes and wishes and aspirations. He graduated
in four years. He is a member of the Maker
Sci Fi and he's retired now. He worked in the
(01:12):
defense for the government and he's retired now. I watched
this cat pretty much do all the things he said.
He was going to do well. That was the first
time I saw vision board or what he called the
treasure map. What I later discovered was they were call
(01:32):
vision boards, and I started mind later on in life,
I wish I knew what my friend knew in nineteen
seventy four, but I didn't. I just didn't. And part
of what I want to talk to you about is
it don't matter when you learn it as long as
as long as you learn it, because the application of wisdom,
(01:54):
faith and understanding is never too late for that it
could be the right time for you. The fact that
I didn't have a vision board didn't stop the fact
that I should have it. Well, right now, I'm probably
on my sixth or seventh vision board. I just had
my son come over Sunday. We set outside, cooked outside
(02:18):
at the kitchen, and I had him redo my vision board.
My son was talking to me, said, wow, Dad, do
you know man that everything you put on your vision
board you have to change because it comes true. And
that's what I want to talk to you all about
the power of that vision board. Don't think or don't
(02:39):
underestimate the power of writing it down, don't underestimate the
power of putting up a visual Now I'm a picture guy,
so I do very well with pictures demonstration. If I
had known that about myself in college, I probably could
have graduated. I probably could have been an okay student
had I understand that I'm a visual learner. I don't
(03:02):
like words and then try to recall and then tell
you back on a test what I read. I ain't
gonna really remember all that. But if you got some
pictures and you put it in the form of a
story or my is good at that. But what I've
learned is the power of this vision board for you
is a spiritual thing. And don't think it don't apply
(03:23):
to you. And the fact that you ain't never had
one don't mean that this ain't the time for you
to start to have one. I put my vision boards
on my cell phone because I have nothing in my
hand more than I have my cell phone. So when
i'm my home screen, my h what you call it
the wallpaper setting, home screen setting, every time it pops up,
(03:47):
it's my vision board because I'm always on the phone
talking business plans. All this here. Every vision board I've
ever had has come true, and it's come true in
a way that I didn't really think about it because
on my new vision board, I put two very important
(04:07):
things on there. God's will and the way that I
ensure God's will is I incorporate a lot more prayer
in my life. And the other important thing I put
on there is God's timing, which requires my faith because
I've learned to stop asking for God telling him when
(04:27):
to do it or how to do it. I trust
in his will is better than mine knowledge of understanding,
and his timing is going to be different from mine.
So I put that on my vision board. I put
dollar amounts on my vision board. I put vision for
my foundation. I put vision that I have for other people.
I have vision for how I want to change people's lives.
(04:49):
I put all of that on there, and it comes true.
I put on their companies that I want to do
business with. I've had to take them off because I'm
in business with them. I'm telling you, man, the power
of vision board. Don't overlook it. Go online and learn
how to make a vision board if you need to.
But you can start with a list of stuff. But
I like pictures because I'm a visionary guy. I'm telling y'all, man,
(05:11):
start using vision boards and look at them every day
and just read it. I'm telling you it comes true.
It requires your faith and belief in it. And that's
really the beginning. Now. If you're willing to put the
hard work behind it, boom, all your dreams can come true.
That's the power of vision. Boyd, you really need to
think about that. That was my close remarks today, and
one other thing. Talk to God today.
