About This Quiz

No matter who you are or how closely your life hews to your ideal vision of what your life should be like, you probably want something you don't have - or you have it, but not enough of it, or it doesn't look exactly how you hoped it would look. Your dream man or woman might occasionally be a nightmare. The riches you hoped would come your way thanks to that promotion are great but the things you have to do and the hours you have to work to get them make you feel absolutely drained at the end of the day. It can feel like the Lord has opened a door but closed a window.

Still, it's important to have goals, not least because every so often when you get hold of one of them, sometimes it's everything you hoped it would be. Sometimes you really do have a moment where you feel like you reached the pot of gold at the end of the figurative rainbow, and for a little while, you know in your heart that everything is going to be all right. 

Meanwhile, striving toward the right goal will fill you with purpose and contentment that are a special kind of happiness far more fulfilling than pleasure can ever be. So let's see what you truly desire, in the hope that it might just help you get it!
