A quotation from Carlyle

   The last quality, perseverance, I particularly respect: it is the very hinge of all virtues. — On looking over the world, the cause of nine parts in ten of the lamentable failures which occur in men’s undertakings & darken and degrade so much of their history, lies not in the want of talents or the will to use them, but in the vacillating and desultory mode of using them — in flying from object to object, in starting away at each little disgust, and thus applying the force which might conquer any one difficulty to a series of difficulties so large that no human force can conquer them.
   The smallest brook on earth, by continual running, has hollowed out for itself a considerable valley to flow in: the wildest tempest, by its occasional raging, over-turns a few cottages, uproots a few trees, and leaves after a short space no mark behind it. Commend me therefore to the Dutch virtue of perseverance! Without it all the rest are little better than fairy gold, which glitters in your purse, but when taken to the market proves to be — slate or cinders.

Thomas Carlyle (1795-1881) Scottish essayist and historian
Letter (1822-03-15) to John Carlyle

https://theconversation.com/there-is-something-wrong-with-the-asylum-process-for-lgbtq-people-but-its-not-fake-claimants-280838. "Proving to the #HomeOffice that someone is #LGBTQ isn’t an easy feat. The #BBC #investigation repeats an adviser’s claim that 'there is no check-up'. In #reality, the Home Office conducts an intensive #refugee #status #determination #process. This involves 2 #interviews, & places the #burden of #proof on the claimant to show that they require #protection from #persecution." So this was slipshod #Panorama BS, at the expense of genuine LGBTQ #asylum #seekers!

World Art Day exists because someone decided that art, as a living practice, deserved a day of recognition.

"A Sprint at the Start" is part of that practice.

For an independent artist, it's a moment to reflect on what it all means and say thank you.

"The distance you travel is decided on your hardest days." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Your worst days will define your best days.

Your biggest mistakes make for your greatest successes.

The moments in which you seem you can barely give it enough will lead you to giving it everything you’ve got.

When it seems everything you are doing can’t make things right, you’ll suddenly find a way.

Those days in which you don’t seem to think you have enough in your tank are quietly recharging your batteries.

Do you sense a theme here?

When I talk about innovation, I constantly point out that the greatest innovators all shared something in common — they failed their way to success.

They got to the top by scraping along the bottom for a time. They only saw wonderful final results after a series of terrible, awful results.

So when those moments of quiet desperation hit, do what everyone has done: pick yourself up, shake it off, and keep moving. because things always come to those who put in the work.

Because the distance you travel is decided on those very days.

(Oh, and before you ask — no, there isn’t anything wrong here! This is just the thought that came to my head as I started my day today!)

"A bucket list requires a blueprint. You can’t just hope to succeed. You need to engineer the outcome." - Futurist Jim Carroll

Ok, I'm back to my spinal recovery thing, but I'm damned excited!

You don't often get these tee times in your account!

April.

Old Course, St. Andrews.

And so with that, it was 'rotation day' yesterday!

What is 'rotation day'? It's the first day of exercises designed specifically to get my previously injured spine ready for the mechanics of the golf swing.

I've done the cardio. I've done the work to get the core back in shape. I'm doing the heavy lifting. I've put in the work. Here's 30 days of effort. I don't do this to brag; I share it to say, "I've put in the work."

(The workouts include walking - if I exclude that, I still had 28 solid days at the gym out of the last 30).

Rotation day involves doing a series of exercises that twist your body, torso, and spine.

All the things you couldn't and shouldn't do in the early stages of an L1 to L3 spinal fracture.

As I was doing this routine yesterday, I kept reminding myself that to make a bucket list item work, you've got to put in the work. I can't hope to show up in early April, swing a golf club after this situation, and expect a great round. I've got to put to work the muscles that were not put to work, and some of which were battered and bruised in the fall, to work.

On April 6, I'll tee off at the Old Course.

Pure bucket list.

You can't get to a bucket list if the potential for the bucket has been interrupted by circumstances.

You've got to push through the circumstances.

Fore!

----

Futurist Jim Carroll hopes for 4 days of extraordinary golf at St. Andrews in early April.

"The most powerful force in nature is the steady, quiet drip of persistence." - Futurist Jim Carroll 

A shoutout to my good friend Greg today!

And I certainly appreciate the guy - he was one of the first to show up at the shopping mall at 8 am for my morning 'mall walks' when I was in the early stages of my spinal injury. (Jim Estill appeared, too, as did a few others! All are appreciated!)

He and I have been good friends since our sons met in school some twenty years ago. A lot of golf together (Arizona!), a lot of talk about tech and business, and a lot of talk about how careers wind down.

A lot has changed for Greg in a short period of time, and for me, there is a lot to learn from watching and encouraging him. First and foremost - real change isn't a single, grand event; it is the compounding effect of small, intentional choices. It’s the daily commitment to a process that isn't always visible, even when you’re right in the middle of it.

And the thing is - momentum is built in those quiet moments. It's found through the simple habit of showing up and refusing to stop. It's also knowing that when the path gets difficult, the most reliable resource is the navigator who can guide you - because they’ve already been down the same road.

Watching a friend hit their stride after putting in a lot of hard work is the ultimate reminder: the most certain way to get anywhere is to keep moving forward.

Creative Construction for the Chronically Distracted

https://ericfoltin.com/2026/02/26/creative-construction-for-the-chronically-distracted/

"Commitment to your most important goal will always be your greatest success." - Futurist Jim Carroll

I once wrote this phrase: "Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!"

In that context, sometimes your greatest small achievements come up against a bold realization. For me, today marks a unique milestone in a long-running personal project—3,500 days of consistent, quiet effort toward a goal that few people actually see. It's a significant step in a long journey, yet another link in a chain that grows stronger each day.

Progress and success always come from commitment to the cause. Wins are often not instant, dramatic, or bold - instead, they are quiet, barely noticeable, forgettable at moments - until suddenly, they collide with a marker of significant success.

Today is one of those days.

And with this comes an important realization about the work I do. I often tell clients that successful innovation doesn't always involve a big, dramatic breakthrough; it’s usually a messy, squiggly line of effort where the ultimate moment of success is eventually reached. In the same way, personal success on a big goal is often about the small steps, not the big leaps. Managing any major life goal isn't just about reaching the finish line; it’s about the mindset pivot you maintain along the way.

I've often said that you are the total of all your highs and each of your lows, and you must own the quiet, repetitive, low parts of the process for the highs to mean anything at all.

As I look toward my next milestone (like my upcoming tee time at St. Andrews!) I’m reminded that success is about patience.

It’s about trading the immediate dopamine of a "quick win" for the long-term guarantee of a life well-lived.

3,500.

Pretty fucking awesome!

And with this comes an important realization about the work I do. I often tell clients that successful innovation doesn't always involve a big, dramatic breakthrough; it’s usually a messy, squiggly line of effort where the ultimate moment of success is eventually reached. In the same way, personal success on a big goal is often about the small steps, not the big leaps. Managing any major life goal isn't just about reaching the finish line; it’s about the mindset pivot you maintain along the way.

I've often said that you are the total of all your highs and each of your lows, and you must own the quiet, repetitive, low parts of the process for the highs to mean anything at all.

As I look toward my next milestone (like my upcoming tee time at St. Andrews!) I’m reminded that success is about patience.

It’s about trading the immediate dopamine of a "quick win" for the long-term guarantee of a life well-lived.

3,500.

Pretty fucking awesome!

What The Soviets Found On Venus

• interesting vid to watch
• learn about Soviet determination
• unreal atmospheric pressures
• temperatures higher than an oven in the atmosphere
• braking systems for probes in water like behaving heavy Venus atmosphere
• Venera 13 had a mic onboard!
• Venus sounds horrifying (at least to my little cousin whose listening in as I make this toot) ;)
• they had sent 14 probes at least to Venus

"Real progress is often invisible, boring, and repetitive. Don't mistake the quiet for regression!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

It's often about the small steps, not the big leaps.

The quiet progress you make, not the noisy success you relish.

The effort you put in daily, not the audacious stretch goal you choose to chase once.

Showing up all the time, not just when it suits you.

Measuring your progress by what really matters - not by what you think matters.

Some people chase success with reckless abandon, thrashing about with wild activity.

Others just show up.

And put in the work.

Success is about patience.

It's often quiet, slow, and deliberate.

Unseen.

But it's there.

"Sometimes, you can’t control your circumstances, but you can control your thoughts!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

Ultimately, the way you approach your circumstances defines how the circumstances turn out!

This is the last post on my situation, but I must say - something like this certainly gives you a chance to think!

I’ve spent a lot of time this week looking at my "backward" stats about my fitness and activities —the 884,000 pounds lifted at the gym during the year, the 112 rounds of golf I carded in 2025, and the top-tier cardio recovery stats I've built up.

It’s easy to look at that data and feel robbed by my current physical limits. But I’ve realized that the most important metric isn't on my Apple Watch. It’s the "Resilience Score" in my head. With all this unique downtime, I’ve learned that true strength isn’t just about what your body can do. It’s about what your mind can do once you begin shifting your thinking.

I'm working so hard every day not to focus on what I can't do today - but what I can do tomorrow if I don't do those things today!

And that's a subtle but significant mindspace shift!

As a futurist, I usually obsess over the "next big thing." But this injury has forced me to realize that you can’t sprint into the future if your chassis is broken. I’ve shifted my control panel from "frustration" to "preparation," by shifting my mindset.

I’m not sitting here waiting for my bones to heal; I am actively moving my mind into where it needs to be for longer terms success. I’m trading the dopamine of a ski run today for the guarantee of a tee time at St. Andrews in April!

The circumstance is a pause; the mindset is a pivot.

So while i can't control the circumstances I find myself in, I can certainly control the thinking around what I can do with them!

I think there is some powerful guidance in that line of thought that we can apply to just about any type of circumstance!

Onwards!
