Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"The future is an attitude!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>It's Monday morning. What are you waiting for?</p><p>With that being the case, why not have an image where I'm staring up into a teleportation portal? It's my future, and I get to imagine it!</p><p>You should do the same thing.</p><p>If you're feeling too comfortable right now with the future, you probably aren't thinking hard enough about the trends that will reshape your reality. You need to be scared; you need to be nervous; you need to have big ideas; you need to stretch your imagination; you need to be prepared to accept that everything is going to change—and most importantly, you need to be ready for action. After all, there might one day be teleportation portals - not in our life, but sometime!</p><p>That's why you need to think about this simple fact - the future isn't just. something you Watch - it's something you embody.&nbsp;The future is an attitude. While everyone else is busy tracking trends and technologies, they're missing something crucial: it's not just about knowing what's coming—it's about how you approach it, internalize it, and act on it.</p><p>The most successful people don't just observe the future; they have a mindset that embraces it and takes immediate steps to make it real. Anyone can read about emerging trends, but those who truly thrive in tomorrow's world cultivate specific attitudes that transform challenges into opportunities—and then act on them without hesitation. With that being the case, think about the mindsets that will help you stay ahead.</p><p>And most important - do something today - right now - Monday morning - that will get you moving! Here are 10 ideas you should think about right now - and 10 things you should commit to doing THIS MORNING. </p><p>----<br>Later this morning, Futurist Jim Carroll will have his winter tires swapped out. He’s preparing for a future that involves warmer weather.</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Future</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Attitude" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Attitude</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Action</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Opportunity</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindset</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Proactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Proactive</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/transformation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>transformation</span></a> </p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-the-future-is-an-attitude/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/03/decodin</span><span class="invisible">g-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-the-future-is-an-attitude/</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Compassion can outshine the chaos!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Every day, I start with my image and quote, and then write my post. Today, I started with this image and quote:</p><p>“Grant me the ability to avoid the stress, rage &amp; anxiety over things I cannot control, the courage to change the things I can, &amp; the wisdom to know the difference!”</p><p>Then I noticed that what I wrote about - leadership empathy - had nothing to do with the original quote! So I changed it! I still like this version of the Serenity Prayer though!</p><p>Anyways ... to my original point.&nbsp;Have you noticed that a lot of people seem to be asking one another, pretty regularly: "How are you doing with all this stuff?" I need not explain the "stuff" - suffice it to say, there's volatility, upheaval, uncertainty, disruption, polarization, confusion, destabilization, turmoil, chaos - all of which is quite dystopian.</p><p>Aside from providing you with a comprehensive list of disquieting nouns, the fact is a lot of people are feeling discomfort, but are also expressing concern about those around them. At least the ones who have a soul left within their inner core.</p><p>Look, I'm from the old school that believes that human kindness is an important personal trait - perhaps one of the most important. I also know that in this current male-machismo-driven world of rage and revenge, there are simply some folks who will never understand that. I don't have any expectations that folks like that follow my writings here.</p><p>But maybe the rest of us can work on it a bit more. After all, it matters. Lots of folks might have been having a rough day, and a little expression of empathy can go a long way.</p><p>How can we do that? Here are the key elements of what is known as 'leadership empathy', and how to practice them!<br>.... read the full post.</p><p>----</p><p>Futurist Jim Carroll would like to hear how you are doing. He might be able to offer up a comforting thought or two.</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Empathy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Empathy</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Control" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Control</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Wisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Wisdom</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Understanding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Understanding</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Perspective" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Perspective</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Connection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Connection</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindfulness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindfulness</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/compassion-can-outshine-the-chaos-futurist-jim-carroll/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/03/compass</span><span class="invisible">ion-can-outshine-the-chaos-futurist-jim-carroll/</span></a></p>

Félicien Breton 🍉 🔻 🌱<p>Cognitive dissonance</p><p>Until February 2025, Europe had been a willing tool of US foreign policy. Realizing it just now, the rulers cannot change their belief in standing for good versus evil. So they choose to change their narrative from one of enlightenment to one of rearmament.</p><p>"In spite of all the grand-standing and posturing, Europe has been reduced to a geopolitical appendage of the United States, following Washington’s lead in prolonging the conflict while shouldering the costs. While the EU sees itself as a global moral authority, it has been sidelined in actual negotiations. Instead, peace talks are being brokered by the U.S. and China, with Europe playing no decisive role. Even within the European Parliament, there exists a near-religious belief in a narrative that contradicts basic military and economic realities."</p><p>(Read or watch) <a

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"There's always time to redefine your success from what you have done to what you plan to do!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>I've always believed that true success isn't about what you've done – it's about what you plan to do next.</p><p>Let me share some thoughts on how you can redefine success in your own life:</p><p>Embrace continuous learning. The world changes at lightning speed these days. Your past accomplishments are valuable, but they're not your ticket to future success or happiness! To truly thrive, become relentlessly curious and eager to teach yourself something new every day. Build your "experiential capital" by jumping into fresh challenges that prepare you for whatever comes next.</p><p>Challenge the assumptions you have used to define yourself.&nbsp;We all develop mental scripts about what success should look like. Take a moment to question these beliefs! Ask yourself: "Am I chasing this goal just because it's what I've always done or what others expect?" Don't get trapped in the "we've always done it this way" mindset. It might be time to write your own personal definition of success.</p><p>Focus on growing.&nbsp;Instead of defining success by achievements alone, think about how you're growing as a person. Are you gaining new skills? Expanding your understanding? Evolving into someone you're proud to be? True success is the journey of personal transformation, not just reaching destinations.</p><p>Maintain a future-positive mindset.&nbsp;Always focus on opportunity, not threat. When redefining success, adopt this same positive outlook! Rather than dwelling on past wins or losses, get excited about future possibilities. The most innovative people I've met share this trait – they see potential where others see problems.</p><p>Get unstuck. Too many of us get stuck in endless planning without action. Redefining success means actually pressing "play" on your ideas instead of just thinking about them. Take that first step, however small, toward your new vision of success. The future belongs to those who take action, not those who merely contemplate it.</p><p>Reinvent regularly.&nbsp;The traditional career ladder is rapidly fading. We're moving toward "itinerant careers" and "active life-design" where you can blend personal passions with making a living. Success might mean creating a flexible, fulfilling path that doesn't look like anyone else's. The question changes from "what do you do?" to "what do you love to do?"</p><p>In the end, redefining success is about switching from constantly looking in the rearview mirror to focusing on the road ahead. It's about being proactive, embracing change, challenging yourself, spotting opportunities, and having the courage to pursue what truly matters to you.</p><p>**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Reinvention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Reinvention</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Success</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Future</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Mindset</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Learning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Learning</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Action</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Opportunity</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Change" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Change</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Potential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Potential</span></a>**</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-inspiration-personal-growth-theres-always-time-to-redefine-your-success-from-what-you-have-done-to-what-you-plan-to-do/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/03/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-personal-growth-theres-always-time-to-redefine-your-success-from-what-you-have-done-to-what-you-plan-to-do/</span></a></p>

The Shimmering Spectrum<p>We’re two weeks into Macro March and it seems many growth drives are already wildly out of control. Can you imagine what it’d be like to <em>not</em> be a macro during that month and seeing other creatures around you getting bigger than even <em>they’d</em> planned on?</p><p>That basketball-playing girl up the street knew that some folks would wanna make her bigger, but she planned on reaching 100′ tall by the month’s end, tops. She’s already doubled that target, surprised both by the demand and by how much she’s enjoying it.</p><p>The gym rat’s growth drive was meant to help him fill out some 4XL tank tops that he’d bought specifically for the month’s activities. He tore one apart this morning just trying to pull it past his biceps. He’s not sure he can fit in the gym anymore but he’s excited to improvise.</p><p>A micro started her own grow-game as a joke, with size increments of just a percentage of her original height. The post unexpectedly went viral. Not only has she outgrown her dollhouse; she’s nearly outgrown her <em>keeper’s</em> house. Both she and her human are nervous about what’s next.</p><p>Meanwhile, as a creature whose size is staying fixed for the month, I’m having to watch out for folks I never thought I’d need to be careful around. It’s tough to get around as growing Bigs casually take over the city. But it’s a hell of a view down here, so thank you all for that. &lt;3</p><p><a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/MacroMicro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacroMicro</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/MacroMarch" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacroMarch</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Growth</span></a> <a href="https://macrofurs.social/tags/MacroFurry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MacroFurry</span></a></p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"Turn your fear into fuel" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>This photo was taken in October 2019. I'm in the room with a farming community in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. It's about as conservative as you can get.</p><p>They're worried. Farming is evolving too fast. Global competition is increasing. The science of agriculture is accelerating. Cost pressures are relentless. Automation is at the door. They can't hire enough people to work on the farms. They had big goals for global market opportunities for American agricultural products; then a tariff war cut into those hopes around 2017, and those goals weren't realized. Oops.</p><p>They're scared.</p><p>They're still scared but decided recently that even though the old plan didn't work the first time, it might work the second time.</p><p>It won't.</p><p>And so here we are.</p><p>If you get&nbsp;behind all of this and try to understand what is going on, the fact is they're scared of the future. They make often irrational decisions based on that fear - something I dug into yesterday. When I spoke to this crowd in 2019, they were, like many groups I speak to all over the US, terrified of what tomorrow represents. The result is that rather than trying to go forward, they undertake actions in an attempt to take themselves back to the 'good old days.' Make it great again, simply by stating it should be so, and then throwing a tantrum to try to make it happen.</p><p>Except, that never works.</p><p>Let that be a lesson - the key to tomorrow comes confronting your fear and turning it into opportunity.</p><p>How do you do this? This is what I would share with them today. What do you do if you are scared of tomorrow? Turn that fear into fuel. Think like this:</p><p>View future trends as opportunities, not threats It is important to adopt an innovative frame of mind and recognize the potential for growth and advancement. Move forward, not back.</p><p>Shift your focus. Far too many people view the future with fear rather than thinking about opportunity. An innovative mindset doesn't quiver from the fear of what might be coming next. Instead, it's alive from breathing the oxygen of opportunity.</p><p>Banish complacency and skepticism. Realize that in an era of rapid change, anything is possible. But only if you choose to chase it.</p><p>Take action. Rapid times require bold change. Don't avoid the future and fail to do the tough things needed to get there.</p><p>Challenge assumptions and eliminate habit. If your approach to the future is based upon your past success, ask yourself whether that will guarantee you similar results in the future. (Hint: it won't.)</p><p>Innovate! Innovators don’t make a difference by redoing the status quo — they accomplish great things by being different. And they don’t constrain their difference with traditional thinking: they simply think differently.</p><p>Re-engage with the future Shift your focus to the future with enthusiasm, motivation, and imagination.
