Satisfaction — What do we mean when we talk about human satisfaction? Human beings can seek satisfaction through the fulfillment of their physical needs (such as good food, adequate rest, exciting adrenalin-filled experiences, feelings of euphoria, etc.), but physical fulfillment by itself is temporary and ultimately futile (disappointing). The more fulfilling and lasting solution is for our soul to be satisfied by a growing intimacy with God.

In this coaching exercise we will explore one aspect of this pursuit of being satisfied; specifically, we will be looking at what it means to “be successful.”

Coach: Ask your student to read out-loud the text on the left here and then ask them to tell you which parts of this makes sense and why, and if any parts do not seem right, and why.

(NOTE TO COACH: Remember, be careful NOT to correct or even comment on your student's answers, except to say "What else?" if their answer is too brief.)


To help you and your coach explore this more deeply and help you to transform your thinking in this area, we have designed several discussions and activities you can work through with your coach.

For discussion with your coach:
