What are you doing to Today to prepare for your Tomorrow?

I was talking to one of my best friends a few days back and he brought up the idea of preparing for the future. We consistently talk about laying foundations for our futures.

Eventually we ended on grand scale thinking, legacy, and what theyContinueContinue reading “What are you doing to Today to prepare for your Tomorrow?”
