Are we operating on an Algorithm ?

Your life isn't determined by your circumstances. It's determined by your algorithm. And that, you can change. Your brain's algorithm works and strengthens neural pathways based on where you direct your attention. you don’t need a new life, you need a new Algorithm.

Are we operating on an Algorithm ?

Yes, we all do!

You already know how algorithm’s work, whatever you engage with, you see more of. Whatever you click on, gest amplified.

Here's the mind-bending part: Your brain works exactly the same way.

Neuroscience reveals that your brain is constantly filtering reality. Out of the millions of stimuli hitting your senses every single second, your brain is selectively deciding: What's important? What should I notice? What should I ignore? You're not experiencing the world as it truly is. You're experiencing the version your attention has trained.

This is your personal algorithm in action.

How Your Algorithm Learns (And How It Can Mislead You)

Think about stress, worry, or lack. When you focus on:

  • Things you're anxious about
  • Opportunities you're missing
  • People who've wronged you
  • What you don't have rather than what you do

...those neural pathways strengthen. Your brain becomes a highly efficient pattern-recognition machine, but for the wrong patterns.

Just like accidentally clicking on clickbait ends up serving you more junk, your habitual attention trains your brain to find more of the same in your life. Not on a screen, but in your actual reality. Your brain starts automatically surfacing challenges, stress, and scarcity; because that's what you've trained it to prioritize.

This is why some people seem to notice opportunities everywhere, while others are stuck in a loop of limitation. It's not luck. It's their algorithm.

Good news: Liboo Says, You Can Reprogram Your Algorithm
The transformation doesn't require a complete life overhaul or forced positivity. It requires something far simpler: - Its intentional attention.

Here's the framework:

1. Be Deliberate About What Gets Your Focus

Whatever you repeatedly put your attention on becomes amplified in your brain's algorithm. So ask yourself: What do I actually want to grow in my life? Then point your attention there.

2. Leverage the Power of Gratitude (Your Easiest Retraining Tool)

Spend just a few minutes each day writing down things you're grateful for. This is the single most effective way to retrain your attention toward what you want to see more of.

When you pause to notice:

  • A supportive interaction
  • A kind word from a colleague
  • A win—no matter how small
  • A bright spot in your day
  • A moment of progress

...you're tagging that experience as important. Your brain records it. Over time, your neural algorithm automatically starts surfacing more experiences that feel safe, meaningful, and steady.

It happens automatically. Your brain doesn't need permission. It just needs the signal.

3. The Magic: It's Not About Fighting Negativity

You don't need to force positivity or suppress negative thoughts. You're not trying to gaslight yourself into happiness. Instead, you're simply redirecting the signal your brain receives about what matters.

Your brain will always follow your attention. Always.

Your Real Opportunity

Here's what most people miss: You don't need a new life. You don't need to change your circumstances first. You need a new algorithm.

The life you're living right now is the output of your current brain algorithm, the one trained by months and years of habitual attention. The life you want is available through a different algorithm.

And the beautiful part? You get to choose. Starting today. Starting right now.

What would change in your life if your brain became really good at noticing what's working instead of what's broken?

Call to Reflection

Tonight, spend 5 minutes with pen and paper. Write down 5-7 things you're genuinely grateful for. Small or significant, it doesn't matter. You're not doing this to feel better (though you might). You're doing this to retrain your algorithm.

Do this consistently, and watch your brain start finding more of what deserves your attention.

Your life isn't determined by your circumstances. It's determined by your algorithm.

And that, you can change.

you don’t need a new life, you need a new Algorithm.

What's one thing you're choosing to train your attention on this week? Share below—I'd love to hear how you're reprogramming your algorithm.
