The Wheel of Life

      The eight sections of the Wheel of Life represent a balanced wheel. Take the centre or hub of the wheel as 0 (totally dissatisfied) and the outer edge as 10 (totally satisfied). Rank your level of satisfaction with each area of your life by putting a cross on the relevant spoke. Draw a line to join the crosses together.

      How balanced does the shape of your wheel look? Which of the areas of your life are you currently happy with? Where do you want to make improvements? (You might want to refer back to this wheel when you answer the questions in Chapter Two.)

Wheel of Success

      The Wheel of Success encourages you to develop invaluable qualities within yourself to take your life to the next level.

      

The eight sections represent key characteristics of success. Take the centre, or hub, of the wheel as 0 (not true for me now) and the outer edges as 10 (totally true for me now). Rate yourself currently, by putting a cross on the relevant spoke. Draw a line to join the crosses. How balanced does the perimeter of your wheel look? Which of the characteristics would you like to work on? What will you do to embrace these qualities during this new phase of your life?

      Remember, taking time to savour your past and clarify your present will revitalise you for the next phase ahead. Reflecting on the events and people who have shaped you, and understanding and being honest with yourself about your current reality, will enable you to see where you want to go and help you set yourself up for a fabulous year ahead. Well done for completing Chapter One!

      

Putting Your Life into Perspective

      While you’re in the preparation stage of jump starting the next phase of your life, you’ll find this next 10-minute exercise incredibly useful in helping you to see your life from a fresh vantage point. Sit down quietly and fast-forward your life. Imagine it’s your eightieth birthday. You are celebrating with family and friends. Take time to review your life as the 80-year-old you.

      Overview

      The fun starts here! Your vision is the overriding picture of the life you’re aiming towards. It’s an inspiring way of looking to your future. Having a vision brings you the opportunity to focus on what’s truly important to you.

      

Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams; who looks inside, awakens.

      Carl Jung

      The more ‘vibrant’ you make your vision, the more easily you’ll find it coming to life. It really is up to you what you paint on the tapestry of your life and how you want your transformation to look. Your intentions, dreams and desires are the very essence of you.

You’ll have developed a vibrant vision of your future

      

You’ll have set genuine goals, for your personal and professional life
