There’s a better way to a joyful life.

There’s a lie we all believe…

The lie is that happiness is waiting on the other side of _______________. We fill in that blank with any number of things – your first pocket knife, graduating high school, having sex, landing a real job, earning over $100k a year, having a baby, and so on.

That lie keeps us moving toward the next mile marker, which promises happiness and joy, but pretty soon just feels like life as usual. We’re left chasing the highs of the next thing and dealing with the lows of where the last one left us.

There’s a better way to a joyful life.

Too often, we leave our assessment of how on track our lives are to the feelings we have throughout the days, weeks, or years.

This assessment will walk you though 20 questions to help you get an immediate pulse on the systems in your life that are contributing to feeling lethargic, overwhelmed, stuck, and time-depleted.
