Shared Dream
• Life patterns/habits– Beneficial and detrimental
• Addictions are internal delusions of eternal life• Purpose of life must prepare us for death

• Autopilot with time: taste, smell, touch, seeing, hearing
Questions
• List all the places where you have not made the decisions for your life– emotionally, physically, spiritually and mentally.
• Which decisions have you made that are in fact detrimental to your growth e.g. I cannot get up for fajr, I cannot influence change in that child.
Big frustrations
• Shout out all the typical frustrations with life that teachers/parents face when dealing with children
• What is your personal story that is colouring your every move?
The impact of our choices
• Life is a collection of choices– Today = past choices– Tomorrow = today’s choices
• The open field of possibilities– Path of failure equates to not knowing or treading
the path of success– The familiarity of a path causes anxiety when
another is sought– The restrictions of habits in achieving our goals
Decision failures
• Reticular activation system (telephone pole)• Cognitive dissonance
– Boundary issues• Cognitive bias
– Over confidence bias (huberus)– Sunk cost task leads to over commitment– Availability bias
• Time-binding– Embed past emotions by remembering them as events.– Emotional trauma– Nominalise events

Rudyard KiplingNo printed word, nor spoken plea can teach young minds what they should be. Not all the books on all the shelves – but what the teachers are themselves.
