Cognitive Selection;
state of mind where one
chooses to think
thoughts that create a sense of
well being.

Cognitive Selection is an example of the lack of training that our kids have. I actually had
to invent a word to describe this state of mind "Cognitive Selection".
The premise here is that no matter how educated a kid is, or how much money a kid has
access too, or how great their childhood is, if they are not groomed to learn how to remain
in a state of Cognitive Selection, then ultimately they can not be happy.
More than that, no matter how tragic a childhood may be there is great power in learning
how to choose thoughts of well being. Thoughts have been proven to affect the body and
circumstances of a persons experience of life.
A persons mind is the most powerful tool they will ever have access too. It is the most
powerful tool on the planet. Of course society knows that and places a huge priority on
education. But an education without Cognitive Selection will only create an intelligent
person; An intelligent person who fails in relationships, who has no personal satisfaction
in work or creative expression. An intelligent person who lacks accountability and most of
all, a state of mind that does not respect life or being alive.
So Baboo and myself really want you to think about how much influence you have on your
kids. How they think is ultimately the most important thing you can teach them.
In it's simplest terms a persons mood is their life; its how they feel emotionally even
physically. Its their outlook on change and the future. A persons mood at any given time is
at that time their whole life, its everything.
A persons mood is always a reaction of what they choose to think about. If they choose to
worry, to see the negative in things then obviously their mood will be negative. Worrying is
simply looking for something negative to believe in!
The thing about kids is they learn how to think from watching others. They will see a
specific situation and notice how most people get angry. Eventually that is exactly how
they too will react. Reminds me of wildebeests who are jumping over each other to get
across the crocodile infested river.
We want our kids to size up a situation and react from choice, not from monkey see
monkey do. Honestly in every situation where they see others become angry or sad, the
person whom they are watching is only acting like the wildebeest and never exercised
