Seven Gates Audit

What it is for

To guard the heart by weekly examining the seven entrances through which a founder's heart gets invaded, and setting one practical safeguard for each.

How to practice

1. Eyes: what am I consuming?
2. Mouth: what am I declaring?
3. Time: what does my calendar reveal?
4. Money: what does my spending reveal?
5. Pride: where do I resist correction?
6. Exhaustion: where am I vulnerable for lack of rest?
7. Comparison: where am I running somebody else's race?
8. For each gate answer: is this gate well guarded, partly open, or unprotected? What comes through it that shouldn't? What do I need to do this week to strengthen the guard?
9. For each gate, define one practical safeguard.
10. Do this in writing. Honesty on paper is harder to run from than honesty in your head.
