A LIFE-CHANGING ONE-MINUTE AUDIT
by Doug C. Grant
You've got to use this audit to believe it. The darn thing really works. And it's free.
You can take one of those psycobabble type audits with a ton of personal questions and complicated scoring systems. But you'll still end up with essentially same results on bottom line.
IT ALL STARTS WITH YOU'RE HERE AND NOW
To know where you want to go you must first know where you are. In other words, you can't get from here to there if you don't know where 'here' is.
Most Life Audits attempt to establish 'here' by having you answer a battery of personal questions. But unless you have a severe emotional problem best left to a professional...or you prefer living in a total state of denial...your knower already knows where you are right now.
For example, if money is in short supply in your life and it's a source of unhappiness, you know it. You may prefer pretending otherwise, but once you get past fantasy you realize there is an uncomfortable hole in your pocket. You can answer a thousand questions and chart answers on a complicated scoring system but bottom line will still come out same. You ain't as rich as you'd like to be.
HERE'S HOW THE ONE-MINUTE LIFE AUDIT WORKS
It forces you to look at major areas of your life and ask yourself, "Does this particular area add to or subtract from my happiness?" Then you track your answers on a simple scoring page you can download free off Empowered Maturity web site.
Simple? Of course. Effective? Absolutely. Unless you insist on thinking that something black is actually white.
It's all so deceptively easy that you may be tempted to label it too childish. But remember, really great truths of life are dirt simple. It's when intellectualized that they become complicated.
For example, in Bible there was a commander of a great army who was told by God's prophet to wash in Jordan seven times to be healed of leprosy. (2 Kings 5) At first he refused because process was too simple. He wanted ceremony and hand waving. But when finally convinced that simple would work, he was healed.
