"The greatest opportunities are within."

At the end of every year, I review my?"opportunity checklist" which I created at least two decades ago for one of my favorite programs called "A World of Opportunity."?


It's not a list of?resolutions. It's a list of aspirations for being my best self and living my most fulfilling life.?

?

It's a joy to share my list with you in the hopes it will stimulate you always to be your best self.?
