This is done by asking yourself the important question of "Where do I currently stand?"To help with answering this question, a structured tool, the Life Assessment Tool, is introduced. This provides a template to answer the question of where you currently stand on your life journey. The tool asks you to consider your life in terms of a number of axes:
Physical
Financial
Environmental
Emotional
Educational
Spiritual
Moral
Social
Habitual
Purpose
Personal
Using this template, you are encouraged to explore not only where you are now, but where you have been before and the highlights and low lights of your life journey. The tool serves as both a source of motivation, but also a guide to determining the current trajectory of your life journey, and also formulating goals for the future.
