The Wheel of Life is a tool that is often used to help one clarify ones dream or ideal outcome in the various components of ones life.
One divides ones life into the various major areas that comprise “life". These are shown as the segments of a circle, a wheel, (see Fig1).

One then attempts to define the dream /ideal outcome in that area, as shown in Table1. Then one scores ones current position relative to the ideal, as shown in the table. One is not scoring against an optimum or ideal or standard or target set by others.

No, one is scoring against what one would define as their own ideal position. One then draws ones “Wheel of Life” with the current scores. One can then see that as their wheel turns around, the ride through life will be very bumpy indeed (Fig2).

So the wheel of life is a useful tool to help clarify one’s dreams, then prioritise them, choosing which ones to turn into an achieved goal (a dream with action points).
