Start at top of your scoring sheet and work your way down through all major areas that apply to your life. At each stop ask yourself, "Does this area add to or subtract from my happiness?" Record your answer by drawing an 'X' through whichever expression, smile or frown, that doesn't apply. For example, if your job contributes to your happiness, 'X' out frown and leave smile.

Remember, don't try and analyze, hedge or complicate your answers. You can say to yourself, "Well, some days my job contributes to my happiness and some days it doesn't." That's true of all of us. But you know without fudging whether your job is adding to or subtracting from your happiness on an overall basis. Put down answer that feels right. It will almost always be on target.

When you've finished audit, add up your smiles and frowns. Bingo. You have an instant picture of your life...happy or not.

You could use a far more complicated audit with a lot of personal type questions. But I can almost guarantee bottom line will still come out same.

But there's more. The audit will also quickly point out areas in your life that could use some smile work. If you're as smart as I think you are, you'll start planning activities and setting goals to turn those frowns around.
