Love:
Wife, kids, friends, job
Power:
Job, kids, wife (this one works both ways-sometimes), motorcycle, sailboats
Freedom:
Wife, friends, job, sailboats, motorcycle, bicycle
Fun:
Wife, kids, friends, sailboats, motorcycle, bicycle
I feel like the wheel is pretty well balanced, but Love is pretty limited in the numbers. I guess the wife and kids fill such the large part of this, I don’t feel like it is lacking in my life.
It seems like each thing in my wheel meet two or more needs. Sometimes I think they meet the need on a limited basis in others the same person or thing is the major factor in that spoke of the wheel.

Curious as to why your friends didn't fit into the power quadrant....
Robbie,
It seems the kids were not listed under freedom. It's tough isn't it.
I have the same under my freedom slice.
I feel that I need to have freedom with my daughters, but I don't want to leave them. Plus, time is passing by at a rapid rate and I don't want to miss anything with them. Does that make sense?

Friends and power – I don’t see them as a power item. When I’m with them, it’s much more of a freedom and fun issue for me. I don’t have nor do I really want to have power over my friends. Maybe we have informal power over each other from time to time, but that’s not why I’m there.
Kids and freedom – I don’t get that freedom feeling with the kids, and I don’t miss it. I am in reality a slave to them when I’m there. This weekend, my son was in a band competition and I got to take him. He was working most of the time since his school was the host, they also played a show. While we weren’t together much during the day, we did get to have lunch, check in from time to time and I saw the band perform. On top of that, my daughter came later and we got to watch the JMU marching band and the Virginia Tech marching bands play. No “freedom” what so ever, but I was there to support them, spend some time together and enjoy a ROCKIN’ JMU band play (Tech was OK to for all you Hokie fans).
