"Defining Personal Success and Finding Balance" Supplemental Content: Discussion Questions

Discussion Questions: 

 

  • How does the way we talk about goals, educational plans, and career aspirations change the way we feel about those goals, educational plans, and career aspirations? Share our goals, educational plans, and career aspirations with someone you trust will support you. 
  • Describe your "passion" or "field." What draws you to it? What emotions do you feel about it? 
  • What does "success" mean to you? From that definition, determine the values and qualities of a successful, fulfilled life. 
  • Consider the "Wheel of Life," a concept to map your work/life balance (pictured here via Mind Tools) Links to an external site.. The "Wheel of life," created by Paul J. Meyer, allows you to map out the balance of your life within six-ten categories. What categories would you choose to map out in your own "Wheel of Life"?
