Algorithms of life (part 1)

”A programming algorithm is a computer procedure that is a lot like a recipe (called a procedure) and tells your computer precisely what steps to take to solve a problem or reach a goal”

I want to focus on the latter- reaching a goal. I know it sounds like a textbook statement but I want you to understand the basis of an algorithms – a list of steps that are chronological that lead to the goal. Now I know what you thinking life just isn’t that simple, there are no cut clear details and certainly sometimes it doesn’t seem like the are clear detailed step by step instructions for the ultimate goal you have for your life but are you sure?

Often in times when one looks in retrospect you often realize your steps were ordered and by that I simply mean everything that occurred including the mistakes and the horrible choices ( well maybe not the bad selfies) but everything was necessary for the goal(s) you wanted to achieve whether you knew it or not at the time.

This might sound like something religious but it isn’t. You ought to believe in your goals and dreams which you want to bring to manifestation and the very basis of that achievement is algorithms or what I call them the algorithms of life. The only problem with this concept is we do not have a blueprint, we don’t know the step by step instructions neither do we know what the steps lead to to be frank we are very clueless on the way to our goals but we know the goal and that right there is all that matters hence the statement -Trust the process.

Do me a favor look back to a time in your life where you wanted to be where you are today, whether you wanted to be in Uni, be working, married, Independent or simply just an adult. Now trace your steps from there till now and ask yourself if you had a solid plan to achieve it and if you made any mistakes. Well for most of us we had very vague plans and made a lot of mistakes but we are where we once in life desired to be mistakes and all we are here, even though we didn’t know the algorithms, even though we didn’t have the blueprint, you are here are you not? Now let me ask you this: If you right where you wanted to be at some point in your life what makes you doubt that you will be right where you want to be just a few moments from today, again – Trust the process

Once you have know what you want to achieve, the first step is alignment. isn’t it obvious? There are thousands of algorithms but they all have different end goals. In order to ”pick” the right one you must first determine the goal and align. Now alignment can mean very different things depending on your religious beliefs. Generally alignment means to now start separating or denying yourself anything that does not or is not beneficial to your end goal. If you goal is to build a house alignment would mean that you and take outs as well as vacations have nothing in common until you house is built. It would also mean you do not take any form of advice from people who have never built a house even if they are family ( I said what I said), It would mean reevaluating your circle of friends- if your friends have not built a house or anything for that matter you better realign and realign fast! The is no spectrum with alignment you either align completely or you don’t align at all.

In part 2 I want to dive in depth about working with and not against the algorithm in motion.
