Lesson 1 - Introduction To 10 Happiness DNA Discovery Questions
"Life Scene Investigation and this class uses DNA both as a scientific reality but also as a way to describe who you are. DNA is a code with defined elements called alleles. Those alleles are the differences which define your uniqueness. There are certain characteristics you possess that define your potential. We are born with certain things that cannot be changed. We are also our own history – Nurture. All those forces, experiences and people who influence our lives. We call this Nature and Nurture.
Using The Evidence Discovery Questions (DQ)
Not all the Evidence you have collected holds the same weight, nor should it be used when discovering your Talent DNA.
The Evidence Discovery Questions (DQ’s) enable you to look at the Evidence you have identified and test it. You need to know how strong and reliable it is. The more of these questions that apply to any one piece of Evidence, the stronger that Evidence is.
Forensics does not rely on one piece or one dimension of evidence, but many. You don’t just take one test and say you know what your future looks like. If you do you will likely spend six years getting a four year degree. You don’t simply listen to one or two people who think you are good at something and spend $100,000.00 on a college degree based on what they say.
After identifying evidence, the next important question you must ask is, “Is the evidence reliable?”
When put to the test in court, will the Evidence stand up under cross-examination?
-
Will the Evidence result in a conviction?
-
Is the Evidence solid?
-
Can I trust my life and future based on it?

What you believe about yourself is very important. However, it may not be very accurate. Some people are “legends in their own minds,” but not in the real world, where Life must be lived.
Others have a lesser or lower view of themselves than is realistic. Either way, you need an accurate picture of your Talent DNA if you are to gain the clarity you need to chart a course for your future. When you have well-examined Evidence for personal beliefs, they form the foundation of confidence and clarity.
The DQ,s are meant to test the reality and validity of what you think about yourself and give you good reasons for your beliefs. They help you both identify and confirm the strength of your Evidence.
If you are both honest and realistic about how you assess your Life, you will only become more confident as you put your Talents through these tests. This is a wonderful process, and as you test your Evidence using these forensic Reliability Tests, you will feel yourself becoming more and more alive! You are discovering the very essence of your Life!
