Picture a skyscraper being built, as long as the spire is not up, the scaffolding stands, the construction trucks( and union protesters) are parked outside, the tower can still be built taller and bigger. But once it’s done there is no more fixing up, no more buiding higher, no more growing. Life is similar, your goal on this world is to build your own skyscraper. It isn’t easy, you gotta start by mixing the cement, making the bricks by yourself, sometimes having to shlep up 100 floors with huge cinder blocks with no one to help you . but in the end, you have a beautiful, shining, golden tower. there are challenges along the way, permits, building codes, angry neighbors, and bad weather. You also need to build that all important twin tower side by side with yours. but if you persist, and continue with your God-given talents, you will have a beautiful, shining, golden tower complex and you will be able to lean back on your penthouse porch, looking over the city of towers spreading out from your tower complex. with a smile ,knowing that this is yours, and thanking hashem for a wonderful life
