Life Evaluator
You are welcome to use the Life Evaluator to help you rank the degree of success and happiness you have achieved in each area of your life. Like all such devices, it shouldn't be seen as the be all and end all - merely a helpful assessment tool.
Rank your current levels of success and happiness in each area of your life. Use this as a foundation and baseline position to start to increase your levels of success and happiness in everything that you do.
