The Wheel of Life
· Does your career provide a comfortable mix of certainty and variety to fulfil you ?
· Does a happy balance exist in each of your roles? Where is there a shortfall? Who/what
causes it? Can it be remedied?
· Does the feeling of significance you experience from yourself and others in each area
satisfy you? What part does significance and self worth play in each area? Your self
esteem is an important part of your inner happiness and has a major effect on all the key
areas of your life.
· Again look at the key areas and roles of your life. Identify where the quality and quantity of
love given and received, satisfies your needs or falls short.
· Are you experiencing personal growth in all the areas that will bring you happiness? Are
the key people that surround you in your family, love, social and career lives supporting or
obstructing your growth and development?
· Is there enough contribution in your life, from yourself and others? Apply the need of
contribution to your key areas and roles. How well does contribution fit into your life?
Family: Whatever family life looks like for you, give yourself a score out of ten to describe the
degree of happiness or harmony you currently experience. 10 is absolutely perfect, 1 is on the
verge of collapse. Consider your role and the roles of others carefully before writing it down.
Make any notes you think are relevant regarding factors or people affecting the degree of
happiness you enjoy.
Love: How much love is present in your life? Making whatever notes you feel are appropriate
and relevant, score your situation out of 10 to describe the degree of happiness love brings to
you.
Leisure: Ten, you are the life and soul of every party, you are loved by everyone, you are
confident yet sensitive and caring to all you meet. One, surely not, unless you are locked away
in solitary confinement in an institution somewhere!
Growth and Attitude: Ask yourself: “Am I committed to learning as much as I can about myself
and life, am I open to learning and stretching? Give yourself a score out of ten, based on the
level of happiness you gain from this area of your life. How happy are you with your attitude and
the role you play in effecting positive change in your life? Are you a ten, the eternal realistic
optimist or a 1, the suicidal pessimist? Surely not, they are all in solitary confinement too.
Health: Are you truly a 10? 1 is clearly seriously ill. Score yourself based on how well you fill your
role within the area of your personal health.
Career: How do you fair in the working part of your life? Are you a 10 or looking for inspiration
and confidence in these pages to make that change?
Finances: Are you completely at ease with the flow of money, a 10? or so worried about it that it
is limited your very existence?
Spiritual: Is your spirituality central to your life or are you experiencing doubt or guilt about your
commitment in this area? Give yourself a mark.
