Set A Heading Philosophy

I believe that the world is a better place when we’re all fulfilled and bringing our values into reality

Our Struggles Finding Fulfilment

Why do we encounter so many people who are stuck behind barriers and obstacles that prevent them from living a fulfilling life? As a high school instructor, I have found that this begins when we transition from high school to adulthood. There are a lot of time and resources dedicated to getting students through the academics and standardized tests of high school and into their post-secondary education and careers, but little to no time or guidance dedicated to help students figure out what fulfills them or how to create a path to fulfillment. In this void, we’re left to guess a life path and end up taking paths that are convenient or “realistic”, but are often unfulfilling.

What can we do about this?

Whether you take my course or not, I hope that you consider the simple foundational concept of the course. This concept is that we find fulfillment by bringing our values into reality through our actions and what we build.

We all have values, concepts that we find fundamentally important, that speak to our core. How we define these values is unique to each of us, regardless of similarities in culture, religion, or community. This is why we are uniquely magnetized to certain experiences, stories, and visions for ourselves, not because of their aesthetics, but because they represent our values. Issues like not thinking our values are realistic, letting other people's opinions drive us around, getting swept up in lives that we think we should live, or simply not understanding our values can lead us away from living our values and feeling unfulfilled.

But when we understand our values and bring them into reality, we find fulfillment.

The Course

We rarely get a chance to stop and define our values, let alone consider how to bring them into reality. This type of thinking isn’t easy or obvious, so when we get free time, we’re far more likely to spend it on instant gratification like social media or video games.

That’s why I built this course. This course is meant to be a dedicated space where students can be guided to understand their values and learn how to bring them into reality. In this online course students will:

Engage in accessible exercises designed to help them find, define, and map their values.
Create visions for their future selves where they are finding fulfillment by bringing their values into reality not only in our work, but their personal lives.
Learn how to backwards plan and create paths to their visions, culminating in steps that they can take now.
Create a practice for when they hit major obstacles or stumble on their paths that allows them to analyze what happened and to continue forward.
