Future Wish List of Training:
Lifelong learning allows me to develop natural (and spiritual) talents and gifts. It opens the mind, keeping it hungry to learn, creates opportunities to increase in gaining and using wisdom. It allows for making meaningful contributions to society while also building new relationships. It can bring more meaning to life, and allows me to serve my God and mankind better. Plus, it’s a kick in the pants! I don’t intend to do all of this training in one year, nor is this a complete list. Here is my starting place however:
