But what a great skill to have, the ability to imagine your future and take action towards achieving your goals. I wish I had that kind of guidance growing up. and I am grateful that I have it now! Good luck with Jake. If you need help, let me know... My son was able to flesh it out to the extent that an 18 year old can plan his life.

I need to do the same with mine. He is in the same program in Israel as your son and the two of them have been making music together. But Jake only knows that he has a passion for music. He has no goals and no plan for achieving his goals. My husband and I do want him to go to college; my husband has made a career out of music and regrets not having other skills as well. He does not want Jake to only rely on making a living through music. I think that getting Jake to flesh out his goals will help him clarify what it is that he wants to do. He needs to become responsible to set and follow through with some clear actions! Thanks for the inspiration! I love what you did with your son, Sandy. I need to do the same with mine.

I feel that I have always been more of an active being, rather than a talker although knowing full well what I'm here to do. I feel more vibrant when I just go with my own flow and engage in life experience. Talking about doing something doesn't feel as alive as actually being in that moment and doing it. :) Dear Sandy,

I look forward to hearing specifics. Leah~ Thanks for your comment about saying goals out loud. It's nice to know that there is a shared reality... And thanks for noticing the letters. I have been playing with the Hebrew alphabet forever. I love the flow of the letters, and there is a lot of hidden meaning there! Shannon~ I love the simplicity of your comment. Well said and to the point! Julie~

Too much verbage tends to distort the flow and discussion with others can quash momentum completely. Great story: will be thinking of specifics now!
