Learning Target · What & Why
I can explain a personal definition of success so I can connect it to meaningful actions.
I Know I Am Successful When…
- I describe what success means to me.
- I use a specific example to explain that definition.
- I connect success to an action or habit.
Your turn (3–5 sentences): (1) What does success mean to you? Describe one future goal or achievement. (2) What is one practical habit that could help you get there?
Help: “To me, success means ___. I hope to ___, and I could work toward that by ___.” Use the extended future-imagination activity below for optional additional writing.
Imagine your future
Try another personal reflection
Imagine yourself 20 years into the future. You are now 32 years old, and you feel proud because you’ve achieved what you consider to be success.
- What have you accomplished in those 20 years?
- Do you have a career you love, own a business, or have a happy family?
- What specific goals have you reached, and what do they mean to you?
In your response, describe:
- What success looks like for you personally.
- The steps you took to get there.
- How your future self feels about the journey and the accomplishments.
Be detailed! Explain what makes these accomplishments meaningful to you and why they define success in your eyes.
Guidelines:
- Write 3–5 sentences for the main blog response. A three-paragraph version is an optional extension.
- Use descriptive language to paint a picture of your future life.
- Be creative but realistic—this is about what you truly want!
