MADE : What advice would you give men who work with their wife ( or significant other ) as you and Meagan have been doing for The Wait ? Is it easy ?
DF : It ’ s been cool actually . It ’ s been really good . We ’ ve enjoyed it . We go back and forth on different words and sentences and that kind of stuff , but overall because we were so aligned with what the book was about and the intention of the book , it actually made it great . It ’ s actually fun . It ’ s fun to be able to work together on and be passionate about it . It actually just continued to enhance our marriage .
MADE : Do you feel like you ’ ve made it ? And if not , at what point will you feel like you have ?
DF : Nope , I don ’ t feel like I have made it . I feel like pieces are in place , and I ’ m getting to a place where I believe I can make it . But I have not made it yet . And what that will look like , I don ’ t know . It ’ ll be more of a feeling . I don ’ t have a clear idea that I can articulate that would be the definition of “ Okay , I ’ ve made it ”.
There ’ s a feeling , there ’ s an idea that I have in my head that when I envision my life and what I want it to feel like and what I want / how I want to feel on a day-to-day basis , I think I ’ m on my way , but I ’ m not there yet . And I hesitate to define being there by anything external because that to me is setting myself up for failure and no fulfilment .
... Because the moment that you begin to share your life with somebody , you have to make sure that they see and support the vision that you have .”
So I try to define being there an internal thing , which is why I describe it as a feeling that I want to have . It is a feeling of freedom . And that freedom is inherently based on opportunity to freely flow in all of the various gifts that I have and know that from a financial standpoint and opportunity standpoint that I have the right finances and opportunity to have the freedom to be fully who I am . ◊ made-magazine mademagazine . com 24
