publisher’s note Make your 24 hours count. WAKE UP WITH INTENTION It’s easy to wake up and go through your everyday routine without thinking twice about it. When you think about where you are at this very moment, it may dawn on you that it is a result of many decisions both big and small that you made to be there. It’s up to us how we intend to spend the time we have. As we kickoff 2018, reflect on how you want to end your year. Then back into how you can get there through small digestible steps. What actions does it take to reach your goals? And, how can you plan your day to chip off one piece at a time? Be proactive with achieving your goals; not reactive to what comes your way. If an activity or opportunity comes up that does not align with the purpose that you’ve outlined, do not waste one solitary moment trying to make it fit. Oftentimes we think as millen- nials that our time is unlimited. It’s not. Wake up. Life is short which means the time to grind is even shorter. Be intentional about where, who and what you give your time to and let your intentions manifest through daily actions. Rise and Grind! Seconds become moments and minutes lead to hours. Make your 24 hours count. Cheers, Kris
