  1. "You don't pivot back to who you were. You pivot to who you've become."- Futurist Jim Carroll

    --
    Futurist Jim Carroll is writing a series, The Art of the Infinite Pivot, based on 36 lessons from his 36 years as a solo entrepreneur, working as a nomadic worker in the global freelance economy. The series is unfolding here, and at pivot.jimcarroll.com.

    Most failed pivots aren't pivots to the wrong future.

    They're pivots to a future that no longer exists.

    I've been writing about this idea for years, in one form or another. Back in 2022, I framed it this way: "Confront today as it is, not as you want it to be, but face tomorrow as you want it to be, rather than just accepting it for what it might be!" In another post, I put it more bluntly: "Don't chase the reality you want. Create the reality you can pursue." I've long recognized that when it comes to reinvent yuorself for the next opportunity, you need to adapt to new realities, not existing ones.

    Earlier this year, when Mark Carney stood up at Davos and said, "We actively take on the world as it is, not wait around for a world we wish to be," he was saying the same thing. I knew immediately why that line landed globally and drew so much attention. He's repeating this idea everywhere he goes, stating it again pretty clearly at a global summit in Armenia. The dude must be following me. (-;

    And yet, it captured something most leaders, most companies, and most individuals quietly refuse to do.

    They want to pivot, but only to a future they already imagined.

    They want the past to come back, just rearranged.

    They want their old career, with a fresh coat of paint.

    That's not a pivot.

    That's nostalgia in a different outfit.

    Here's what I've learned the hard way: the future will not negotiate with your desires and wants. It doesn't care about your plans, your nostalgia, your investment in who you used to be. The future shows up as it is, sometimes brutal, sometimes accelerated, and often inconvenient.

    You either align with it, or you don't.

    In a fast-evolving future, keep in mind you can rarely pivot back to who you were. You pivot to who you've become.

    Take on the future as it is. Work towards the outcome from where you actually are. Build the strength required for what's next, not the strength you used to have.

    Because the only pivot that ever works is the one made from reality.

    Futurist Jim Carroll believes that most people need a reality check when they are trying to reinvent themselves.

  2. “You should never wait for the world to catch up to your obsolescence." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Here's a truth to consider: your gut feels the pivot long before your head admits it.

    Sometimes we are forced into a career change or pivot. Other times, we need to make the decision on our own.

    Either way, it's a gut-wrenching moment.

    I know that when I was thinking about leaving the corporate world behind back in 1990, I was pretty miserable. My career track had changed due to a merger; my opportunities vanished; my successful path forward was now in doubt. And yet, I struggled mightily with the idea of moving from career certainty to becoming a self-employed unknown chasing a future that didn't yet exist.

    But I went through with it, and it turned out to be the right thing to do.

    Here's what I've learned in the decades since: when a pivot is forced on you, you go through something a lot like the stages of grief: shock, denial, anger, and eventually acceptance. When the pivot is your own choice, the same thing happens, just in slow motion. You sit in denial that things have to change. You get angry that they have to. And eventually, hopefully, you accept it.

    As I wrote in my book Now What? Reinvention and the Role of Optimism in Finding Your New Future, the faster you get to acceptance, the quicker you can reinvent.

    So how do you get to acceptance? You learn to recognize the signals. Some triggers will tell you when it's time:

    The expiry of your relevance

    The "soul-crushing" signal

    The need for reinvention velocity

    The "Sunday night" signal

    Read about them in the full post.

    And one trigger that sits apart from the rest: if you are drowning your career misery in substance abuse, the pivot question has already answered itself. The first move isn't a career change. It's getting help, from yourself or from someone trained to give it. The pivot comes after.

    Here's the filter, though: not every bad week is a signal. Burnout, a difficult client, a rough quarter — those are weather, not climate. The triggers above only matter when they become persistent, structural, and patterned. If a vacation fixes it, it wasn't a pivot signal.

    You should never find yourself thinking "I should have jumped sooner."

    Because when you wonder if it's time to pivot, it probably already is.

  3. A quotation from Orwell

    In nationalist thought there are facts which are both true and untrue, known and unknown. A known fact may be so unbearable that it is habitually pushed aside and not allowed to enter into logical processes, or on the other hand it may enter into every calculation and yet never be admitted as a fact, even in one’s own mind.

    George Orwell (1903-1950) English journalist, essayist, writer [pseud. of Eric Arthur Blair]
    Essay (1945-05), “Notes on Nationalism,” Polemic Magazine (1945-10)

  6. Breaking My Own Heart

    I have spent my life
    Breaking my own heart.
    Looking forward to (hopefully)
    Doing the opposite
    For the rest of my life.

    The Questions

    Again the moon comes up in the night
    Again the stars
    They stir up in me some questions
    Without letting me know
    Where the answers might be
    Nor is the sky helpful
    Soon it will be dawn
    And the most useless guy to ask
    When it comes to such questions
    Will be there, giving life to us
    But not the kind of life we are seeking.

    I and U

    I love her still
    Who I loved
    40+ years ago.

    Did she love me
    Back then
    Though I know
    She does not now.

    Are We Worthy?

    That we can love
    A boy a girl, a girl a boy
    That we can learn
    About volcanoes and the stars
    That we can cry
    At the most trivial of losses
    That we can laugh
    At the silliest of antics
    That we can help
    Whether a friend or a foe
    That we can sacrifice
    Our very life
    Does it not give you hope
    That we are well equipped
    To find the Truth, too?

    Bruised But Not Broken

    The supercilious smile
    The unmistakable smirk
    Have taken their toll
    Yes, I am bruised
    But I am a smart guy
    Smarter than others reckon
    So, I am not broken.

    Sam ki Shayari Ya Shaam ki Shayari

    Jis shakhs se mujhe milna tha
    Afsos toda bahut hoti hai ki
    Woh mereko tab aakar mili
    Jab meri shaam ho chuki thi
    Lekin khuda ko maaloom hai
    Ismay bhi kya meri bhalai hai.

    Where Am I Headed? Where Am I Supposed to Be Headed?

    Where’s life taking me?
    Where’s my heart taking me?
    Do they think they know me
    Better than I know myself?
    Who is this I that asks the question
    What is his relationship
    With life and heart?

    This Thing Called Acceptance

    Eckhart Tolle talked about it
    Much before him, two more talked
    Much, much about it
    JK and Osho, naam toh suna hoga
    But, damn it guys, I accept myself
    Easily without breaking into a sweat
    I can accept life also, whatever turns it takes
    But, it is the “other”, who does not
    Who looks at me askance
    And sometimes the “Not Other”, too,
    And thus I spend my life here on earth
    Not knowing what is “acceptable”?

    The Lips

    A poet tells me
    Lips are meant for kissing
    A sage tells me
    Lips are meant to be zipped
    Confused, I take out my laptop
    And start typing.

    Past the Midnight Hour

    Under the cover of darkness, emboldened
    Many a memory makes its appearance
    In the theater of my mind, one after another
    And I who have had delusions in the past
    Can no longer trust which memory is genuine
    For instance, one memory is rather persistent
    And keeps appearing every now and then:
    A girl smiling at me; what to make of it?
    Should I start taking that antipsychotic?
    I’d rather not, lest my psychiatrist say
    “I told you so”, with that stupid grin.

    The “No”

    The no
    Falling from some lips
    Is far more problematic
    Than from some other lips.

    The Contradictions

    Somewhere in this quest
    To make a living
    To live and love
    To find the truth, sometimes
    Life lands a sucker punch
    When we are least expecting it.

    All the Good We Can Do in This World

    It is good to be laughed at
    It is good to be made fun of
    It is good to become a lughing stock
    What a wonderful way to be
    Where we are so useful to others
    And Bentham’s soul would rest in peace.

  8. Inner Peace (continued)

    I just did not know
    It was there as
    The path was hidden.
    The signs were destroyed
    By the darkness
    And severe depression.
    I am grateful to have
    Survived the darkness
    Of the excruciating pain.
    And now I see tremendous light
    As well as ease, calm, + peace.
    I have always been awesome;
    I just could not see it.
    Go out + find
    Your own awesomeness.
    I promise you won’t regret it.

  9. Inner Peace

    I’m not certain that
    I ever considered that
    Inner peace was achievable.
    I’m used to inner hate,
    Inner dread + doubt,
    Inner chaos + demons,
    Inner worry + anxiety,
    Inner turmoil + uncertainty.
    This newfound
    Inner peace brings
    New hope to my life.
    I’m happy to have traded
    My internal unrest
    For internal peace.
    What a relief to have
    Arrived at this place.
    It was within me
    This whole time.

  10. Life could’ve been far less scary if I were only allowed to feel my feelings.

    I’m grateful for my therapist, Kristin Neff’s work on self-compassion, + Maggie Sterling’s podcast for helping me reach this point where I actually allow my feelings.

    For decades, I was afraid to feel my feelings since I was told I’m too sensitive + constantly told to stop crying.

    Few people in my life have encouraged crying. It is needed. 💟

  11. Trauma Triggered (continued)

    I went offline briefly
    But allowing is so
    Much better than resisting,
    Fearing, and trying to
    Outrun the pain.
    I’m okay.
    I am okay!
    Self-compassion is
    A wonderful thing.

  12. Trauma Triggered

    I survived once more
    The trauma triggered
    From my foot surgeries
    This morning as I saw
    Pics from the hospital
    Two years ago.
    I comforted myself as
    I was caught off guard.
    Tears poured down
    My face as the
    Trauma was triggered.
    In the past, I resisted
    Uncomfortable feelings
    But this morning
    I allowed it all while
    I told myself I was safe
    And let the pain flow.

  14. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    The hour for your departure draws near; if you will but forget all else and pay sole regard to the helmsman of your soul and the divine spark within you — if you will but exchange your fear of having to end your life some day for a fear of failing even to begin it on nature’s true principles — you can yet become a man, worthy of the universe that gave you birth, instead of a stranger in your own homeland, bewildered by each day’s happenings as though by wonders unlooked for, and ever hanging upon this one or the next.
     
    [ἐὰν οὖν, ὅτε δήποτε πρὸς ἐξόδῳ γένῃ, πάντα τὰ ἄλλα καταλιπὼν μόνον τὸ ἡγεμονικόν σου καὶ τὸ ἐν σοὶ θεῖον τιμήσῃς καὶ μὴ τὸ παύσεσθαί ποτε ῾τοὖ ζῆν φοβηθῇς, ἀλλὰ τό γε μηδέποτε ἄρξασθαι κατὰ φύσιν ζῆν, ἔσῃ ἄνθρωπος ἄξιος τοῦ γεννήσαντος κόσμου καὶ παύσῃ ξένος ὢν τῆς πατρίδος καὶ θαυμάζων ὡς ἀπροσδόκητα τὰ καθ̓ ἡμέραν γινόμενα καὶ κρεμάμενος ἐκ τοῦδε καὶ τοῦδε.]
