How to use this tool

This is a mirror, not a scoreboard. It draws the classic “wheel of life” through the lens of the Hizmet values — faith, knowledge, service, and excellence, in the pursuit of a more just and peaceful world.

  1. Open each of the eight areas below and rate every statement from 1 (very weak) to 10 (excellent). Be honest and thoughtful rather than generous.
  2. Each area averages its ten statements automatically — the same as adding your scores and dividing by ten on paper.
  3. The wheel redraws as you go. A round, full wheel means a balanced life; a lopsided one shows where energy is pooling or draining.
  4. Nothing is sent anywhere. Your answers stay in this browser, so you can return and watch the wheel change over months.
Every area starts at 5 so the wheel is visible from the outset — these are placeholders, not a verdict. Slide each statement to what is true for you today.

Your development wheel

Rings mark 2 · 4 · 6 · 8 · 10 — the further a wedge reaches, the stronger that area.

Section III

Reading your wheel

Two things matter, and they are different. The first is size — how far your wedges reach on average. The second, and often the more revealing, is roundness — how even they are. A wheel of straight 6s rolls smoothly; a wheel of 9s and 2s does not, however impressive its high points.

What the shape is telling you

A deep notch usually marks an area you have quietly deprioritised, not one you lack the capacity for. In the Hizmet framing, the eight areas are meant to feed one another: sound health sustains service; knowledge deepens worship; a peaceful home makes generosity possible. A weak spoke tends to drag on its neighbours before long.

Where to begin

Resist the urge to fix everything. Choose the single lowest area, or the one whose weakness is costing the others most, and set one small, repeatable intention for the coming week. Re-rate yourself in a month; the wheel remembers, so the change will be visible.

Section IV

The eight areas

These are not eight competing demands but eight facets of one integrated life. Together they trace the Hizmet ideal: faith, knowledge, service, excellence — offered toward a more just and peaceful world. Each hub of the wheel points back to that shared centre.

Section V

Balance, not perfection

No one scores tens across a full wheel, and a life spent chasing them would miss the point. The aim is a wheel round enough to keep rolling — steady growth, honestly seen, offered with sincerity. Small, consistent efforts, area by area, are what compound over a lifetime.

“Small, sincere efforts, when joined together, can make a great difference in the world.”
