Abstract
A motivational device has a vertical support for supporting medallions indicating steps or levels of achieving a goal to permit visual identification of accomplishments leading toward a goal, and when such goal is reached. The device is supported on a base and combined with a supported sculptural work of art. The achievement indicating medallions can be inserted from the exterior of the work of art, and include medallions that are opaque and medallions that are light transmitting and of different colors, for indicating achievement of steps toward a goal. A light source is utilized so that as light transmitting medallions are added to replace opaque medallions, light will pass through the medallion and indicate visually the achievements being made toward a specific goal.
