#61 The Algorithm

In my ongoing quest for social media fame and fortune, I found myself pointing fingers at the Algorithm. Blaming it for ALL my perceived failures. Whether it was the lack of likes, interactions, or the absence of buyers for my offerings, I constantly sought to place the blame on this digital force. I yearned for more engagement, more people wanting everything I had on offer and desperately hoping that my epic videos and posts would captivate anyone they came across. It was only when I realised the most important thing — I was my own Algorithm. The very things that I was demanding from social media were the very things I hesitated to provide for myself. I was neglecting the power within, and failing to recognise the influence I had over my own representation. We never HAVE to do anything in order to receive. Instead, we must release our expectations and relinquish the notion that social media platforms will give us everything we want. Only by freeing ourselves from these self-imposed constraints can we use our inner intuition and find the things that truly ignite our passion. The transformation begins when we immerse ourselves in the things we genuinely love. It is through these real life engagements, that we no longer seek a specific outcome, but instead embrace the joy of being who we truly are. I now embrace everything I have to offer by harnessing my own potential and curating a digital experience that resonates with ME. __ I’ve burned through enough identities to stop believing in a final version of myself. For a long time, I stood in the middle of reality demanding answers. Reality laughed, lit a cigarette, and left me holding the blueprint. Now I trace the patterns in identity, belief and human behaviour, and talk about what I find. My Ego Says Hi holds all my old podcasts, alongside whatever comes next. Different versions of me speaking from different points in the same life. My books, Money Surge, Body Surge and Love Surge, explore the patterns, beliefs and behaviours that shape our relationships with money, our bodies and love. Together they form the Surge Trilogy, three 21-day protocols available as full audiobooks on Spotify.
