In a results-driven world, success is often defined by outcomes—titles earned, goals achieved, and milestones reached. Society conditions us to focus on the finish line, yet what often gets overlooked is the process that leads us there: the journey itself.

Whether driven by economic shifts, technological disruption, or personal reinvention, more adults are returning to learning at various stages of life. Yet access to learning opportunities is only one piece of the puzzle. The heart of the learning process lies in motivation—a learner’s internal or external reason to begin and persist in acquiring knowledge or skills.
