Why this course is crucial for you
We don’t always think about it, but decisions largely determine our lives. These are decisions that you cannot always control. Just think of the consequences of a disease. But that does not mean that you cannot control many of these decisions. This is where this course is all about. This course shows how important it is to determine what you want where possible. Is that possible? Yes, you can, which makes this course so interesting and important for people: be your own director!
Is prior knowledge required?
Everybody can follow this course without any prior knowledge.
Why people love this course
We always get feedback like, “if only I had known this sooner!”. This is not surprising because many have given up their lives a bit, which certainly applies to seniors. There is that strange phenomenon that the outside world thinks that seniors should always be helped and that others, therefore, have to make the crucial decisions. For many students, this course is a real eye-opener, and they are happy that they are now much more independent in life. space space space space space space space space

The course starts with explaining some concepts. First of all, it concerns the ideas of self-reliance and self-control. After all, these concepts look similar, but they are not. It is precisely by looking at the difference that it becomes clear what it means to make important decisions yourself. Remember that it can concern all kinds of things such as:
- managing the finances
- determining who you like to hang out with
- making choices based on what you like and what is important to you
- determine how you want to live at a later age and which things are necessary at that time
It is especially true for the elderly that they take a good look at what independence means and that independence does not mean that you do not need help in certain situations. When you walk with difficulty, you sometimes need help, but that has nothing to do with you being the conductor of your own life.
