This is really cool.
This is really cool because it really works.
Profoundly.
The reason I know it works?
I did it.
I was the ‘Lab Rat.’
I don’t need to get into explaining the Algorithm thing.
We all know how that works.
Watch six chocolate cake videos in a row, and YouTube thinks you are Ina Garten.
But what if life works the same way?
That what you put out into the world subtly programs your life.
That what you ‘click on’ in the world subtly programs your life.
What are you ‘clicking on’ in your life?
The music you listen to, the way you start your morning, the way you greet people, the places you go.
Everything.
Your ‘clicks.’
Your ‘clicks’ that inform your personal algorithm.
The ‘clicks’ that curate your feed, aka your life.
What happens if you shift your energy?
Shift your thoughts?
Shift your habits?
Shift your focus?
Shift your everything?
…Shift your ‘clicks.’
I know what happens.
I did it.
I shifted.
…And life started feeding me.
Positivity.
Happiness.
Thrill.
Joy.
Contentment.
There was one gift I got.
One gift that stands out.
One gift that told me I was on to something.
Keep going.
Keep ‘clicking.’
I ‘received’ the musical Masterpiece that lies below.
Listen.
Listen closely.
It starts off oh so quietly.
It represents the creation of the world and the gradual emergence of life.
A single note, E-flat.
Wager’s Masterpiece.
Derailleur is all about disconnecting to reconnect.
It’s about tuning into the ride you want, not the one you’ve been defaulted into.
It is about tuning into the life you want, not the one you have defaulted into.
Shift your mindset, your route, and suddenly, life starts sending you different roads, different people, different experiences.
You see?
I felt a little ‘stuck.’
Stuck in the same ‘feed’ every day.
Same roads, same thoughts, same vibes.
I was wearing ‘The Kit.’
I was part of ‘The Pack.’
I was losing my individuality.
Something I cherish.
I decided to stop.
‘Click’ elsewhere.
I decided to ride ME.
I started to ride the way I wanted to ride.
I started to ride what I wanted to ride.
I started to wear what I wanted to wear.
I started to ride with manners.
I started to ride with greetings.
Made lefts at rights.
Rights at lefts.
My algorithm updated.
Control your algorithm.
Shift the gears.
Ride YOU.
Life responds.
Do you know how it responds?
It responds in the best possible way.
You move differently through the world.
You ride differently through the world.
‘Offline Algorithm’
Insert plug coming out of the wall emoji here.
‘Dress Confidently. Ride Boldly. Ride YOU.’
