Trying to work out with our kids on how to approach their lives and what they need to “do good” to themselves and to the world ie to be true to themselves and in so doing do Tikun Olam (repair of the world) in their chosen work. The wall represents the goal, the ball is the tool or skill needed to get there, and the shadow from the ball to the wall represents the pathway that they have to take in order to achieve the goal (Some shadows along the way try to deviate one from the goal – avoid distractions!) Next step is the vehicle ie their natural abilities (skill sets) Identifying or recognizing this aspect is the hardest part of the whole thing If all the elements are wisely chosen, and one “keeps the eye on the prize”, self realisation and personal happiness is guaranteed – money back if not satisfied

When it is obvious that the goals cannot be reached, don’t adjust the goals, adjust the action steps.
KEEP YOUR EYES ON THE PRIZE

The focus of the left image is on the small bubbles and focus on the right image is on the real thing – the real goal

Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.
STRAIGHT AND NARROW FOCUS ON THE GOAL OR THE PLAYGROUND?
How do you advise your children?
