Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Hope: It’s that we must cling to in those moments when&nbsp;we feel like we are drowning in despair!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Emotional rollercoasters are the rides that we are sometimes forced to go on even though we dread the moment. Millions of people found themselves in that circumstance yesterday; millions of others found themselves on a different type of emotional roller coaster.</p><p>I certainly found myself on one for some time yesterday - and still do. </p><p>But the fact is, with the encouragement of my wife, I moved through The Seven Stages of Election Grief pretty quickly, working hard to get to the 'Acceptance &amp; Hope' stage pretty quickly. More on that below. There should be no doubt if you follow me as to my political leanings. I try not to let it make its way into my work. The foundation of these leanings is that we must have compassion in our souls; that there are no easy solutions, only hard work; and that it takes a significant investment to get to tomorrow.</p><p>Bottom line? I have long believed that the reality of reality in the face of unrealistic expectations will always have its way with those who think that a magic button exists that will whisk them into a better tomorrow.</p><p>What me back yesterday? First and foremost, the stern words of my wife, someone who knows how to talk down from an emotional cliff. What also brought me back to continue my Daily Inspiration was this note from a fellow on one of my social network feeds - I had announced that I was pausing my Daily Inspiration for an indefinite time because I believed my words rang hollow.</p><p>via <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://mastodon.social/@phaedral" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>phaedral</span></a></span> </p><p>...seriously, we need uplift more, not less today. Your friends and loved ones and distant readers need you more today, not less. So let your words ring hollow, or tinny, or forced. If you can only whistle in the dark, whistle loud.</p><p>There were more, and in the context of all of them, I realized I had a role to play. And in the context of that, here's an image I kept returning to over and over as I accelerated my way through the stages of grief.<br>"I am no longer accepting the things I cannot change, In am changing the things I cannot accept!"</p><p>And with all, we all must move on.</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hope</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayStrong" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayStrong</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Optimism</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/MoveForward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MoveForward</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/KeepGoing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeepGoing</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/PositiveChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveChange</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Inspiration</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/FutureBelief" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FutureBelief</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/EmotionalStrength" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmotionalStrength</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-inspiration-moving-forward-hope-its-that-we-must-cling-to-in-those-moments-when-we-feel-like-we-are-drowning-in-despair/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-moving-forward-hope-its-that-we-must-cling-to-in-those-moments-when-we-feel-like-we-are-drowning-in-despair/</span></a></p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Somehow, one way or the other, you will need to be ready to move on from this day!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Hey, is there anything going on anywhere today?</p><p>Obsessed with the news? Hitting the refresh button? Reading polls?</p><p>Remember how I said that uncertainty and volatility cause many people to defer the making of decisions?

You and I might be happy, or we might be crushed. I might be happy and you might be crushed.
