Every journey starts with the first step. No matter how much we try there is no way to get to the top without taking the first step and doing the necessary work required to take the second and third step. How many times have you seen a friend or foe succeed in an area where you feel you are qualified, and you wonder how they got there so fast? You start questioning your methods and motives. You ask yourself what can I do differently to speed up the process. Well, to be honest, there is nothing that you can do differently because the teacher will not show up until the student is ready.
If you have a Facebook account then you probably noticed over the years and heard people talking about how they keep changing their algorithms. Basically what they are referring to is a set of calculations Facebook uses to decide what content you see. It all boils down to showing you posts that they think you will interact with through likes, comments, and shares, based on your previous actions on similar posts. This was also done to cut down on posts that were negative or geared to a particular set of beliefs, which inflamed people’s sensibilities. Unfortunately, life has no algorithms. What you see every day is going to hit your feed in the order that it happens. There are no shortcuts or ways to adjust life to have what you want show up. It would be nice if we could change the feed based on likes, comments, or shared experiences. With an ever changing world it’s impossible to count on similar circumstances turning out the same as last time. Even those people who share similar challenges with you don’t always act in the manner that you anticipate. We are all fighting our individual battles although it’s hidden most of the time. You get to choose what you post on Facebook, but not what shows up in real life. Real life happens whether someone is scrolling or not, because life has no algorithms!
