The Goal-Setting Dolls That Cannot Fall

Daruma dolls are designed to always return to an upright position no matter how often they are pushed. This constant ability to rise represents human perseverance and the refusal to ever give up on your goals.

These hollow, rounded talismans are modeled after a monk who reportedly meditated so long that his limbs withered away. When you make a wish, you traditionally paint one eye onto the doll. The second eye is filled in only once your goal is achieved or your wish comes true. This keeps you focused on your progress throughout the entire journey.
