Four Fires Self-Assessment

There are four sections of this assessment, each with two sub-categories. Thoughtfully and honestly rank the strength and health of each area of your life currently.

PHYSICAL

PURPOSE

PEOPLE

PROFESSION

Your body is the vehicle that you have been given to move you around and get things done. It is the way that we experience and interact with the world around us. Its health and well-being impacts how we engage with our kids and spouse. It determines what kind of recreational activities we can do with our friends. It dictates how much energy we have to pour into the many other areas of our life. The elements of your physical fire within your control are what you eat and how you exercise.

EAT

Coals

Monitoring and controlling how and what you eat is not a priority for you.

This area of your life is cold. You have not paid attention to this fire in quite some time, and whatever flame that was there has died out due to neglect over an extended period of time. Restarting a fire in this area of your life is going to take some significant work. You are starting from ground zero.

Embers

You are aware that you should be doing a better job of being intentional about what you eat.

This area of your life has been neglected for some time, and while there is no visible flame, there may still be some heat present. With the addition of some fuel and coaxing, you could begin to rekindle some of the power in this area of your life.

FLAME

Monitoring and controlling the kinds of food you eat is a regular practice.

There are positive visible results from the energy and effort that you have put into this area of your life. People notice that you have some life in this area, and while not the ideal example of the kind of fire you would like to have, it is easy to tell that with some more fuel, this could be a healthy burning fire in the not too distant future.

Fire

Food is fuel, and you are committed to only putting premium in your tank.

You have a full blown fire in this area of your life. While you could always make the fire burn more efficiently and it could be bigger, you are confident that the fuel and effort that you have put into this area of your life are putting you in a healthy place. Even if you were to dial back on the amount of fuel that you put on this fire for a week, or even a month, the fire that you have generated in this area of your life would continue to burn for some time without additional tending.

Your soul is the medium through which you connect with creation and the Creator. Your soul needs a connectedness to the God of creation and that relationship obligates us to fulfill certain commitments that come along with son-ship or daughter-ship. Living a life of intentionally connecting with God and living in a calm confidence of our relationship with God through prayer, meditation, and reading are essential to our success as humans. Fulfilling our soul’s obligations to our fellow man through giving, self-disciplines, and service are essential parts of fulfilling the longings of our soul.

Your people are your tribe. Your spouse and friends help keep you emotionally healthy. They help you carry the burdens of life that are too big for any one person to handle. They are the warm, safe place to laugh and let go. And they are the ones who will stand at your back and rally around you when the wolves are closing in. Our family is also part of what gives us a sense of purpose and connection to something bigger than ourselves. They are who we will work hard for, emotionally and physically, when we can’t convince ourselves to get up and keep going for ourselves. Having strong relationships with our family, our friends, and the next generation is the way that we do great things in life and keep from becoming too inwardly-focused.
