How Happy Are You? Take This Quiz To Find Out!

Numerous studies are trying to quantify this thing called happiness. Here’s a simple, fun quiz to rate your joy quotient in life.

Answer the following questions and count how many times you said Yes. If you have to stop and think about the answer, it’s not a Yes. See, I told you it was simple!

The Joyful Days Quiz

1. Do you wake up every morning eager to start your day?

2. Do the hours fly by while you work without you noticing the time?

3. Are your thoughts predominantly positive throughout the day?

4. Do you laugh at least once a day?

5. Do you give and receive love everyday?

6. Are your dreams coming true day by day?

7. Are you focused on the present rather than the past or the future?

8. Did your existence enrich somebody else today?

9. Can you list five things to be grateful for when each day ends?

10. Do you fall asleep with deep peace for another day well-lived?

Your Score

Perfect (10):
You are blessed. Go forth and bless others with your joyful wisdom.

Good (7-9):
The world is a better place because you are in it. Spread the good vibes.

Okay (4-6):
Some days are diamond, some days are stone huh? Try to hang around happy people.

Poor (1-3):
This site will really help you. Joyful days are possible. Keep the faith.

Uh-oh (0):
You need a counsellor, not the internet (just kidding).

Make today count!

You probably have a few hours left of today. That’s a few hundred heartbeats worth of your life. You can be happy in a heartbeat. All it takes is an appreciation for being alive, gratitude for all you already have, and a decision that today will end well.

Go ahead now and do something that will make your day or someone else’s!

    I got a 9/10. I lose half a point in living in the future. I do things every day to improve my present and future situation. But I still think about the future too much. I wish I was more zen, like in the book “Power of Now”.

    I also lose half a point when the hours fly by at work. Lots of times, I waste time when I should be working on my blog. I feel bad afterwards, because I should have been working.

    Thanks,
    Josh Lipovetsky.
