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. This thinking manifests in our hobbies, careers, interpersonal relationships, clothes, and habits. Eventually we ended on grand scale thinking, legacy, and what theyContinueContinue reading “What are you doing to Today to prepare for your Tomorrow?”

Being Tru to Self
I’ve been sitting up listening to all the new albums that decided to flood my iPod (yes, I still use an iPod) and I came across Lloyd’s Tru Ep again.
