  1. Daily Inspiration: "Fear is a liar. Choose courage instead." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Today I want to write about resilience - why it's important, and why chasing resilience instead of giving in to fear is too important.

    To do that, though, I need to tell you how I got to today's quote. I quite like it!

    I've been spending quite a bit of time using Google Notebook LLM - it's become apparent to me that it's one of the best tools to use to go through vast volumes of information and synthesize useful results. One thing I've been doing is to use it to query and structure insight from the over 3,000 Daily Inspiration posts I've written since 2016.

    The tool is providing me with all kinds of useful data and insight into my very own insight. For example, I asked it what I had to say about the topic of resilience, which I think is a very important attribute in the very complex days ahead. The answer seemed reasonably intelligent.

    Carroll believes people should never let a setback set them back and focus on moving forward. He stresses the importance of using the words that define the attitude needed to go in the right direction, such as:

    Perseverance

    Determination

    Fortitude

    Persistence

    Resolve

    I couldn't have said it better myself! (-;

    Going further, I then asked myself to generate 10 inspirational posts from my material. The response I got was somewhat magical:

    That's pretty good! I could have used any one of these, but I really liked the last one.

  2. Daily Inspiration: "Never trust anyone who tries to sell you an old idea!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    The big problem with organizational memory is that often, there is too much of it. And yet, too many people rely on it to keep bringing up the same old ideas they always bring up.

    This is a bad thing.

    That's because old ideas lead to stagnation.

    Old ideas trap you in a rut.

    Old ideas block the consideration of new ideas.

    Old ideas are increasingly likely to fail as time moves on.

    Old ideas deter innovative thinking.

    Old ideas block new risk taking.

    Old ideas limit new growth opportunities.

    Old ideas are often outdated in rapidly changing markets.

    Old ideas may not resonate with newer generations of customers or employees.

    Old ideas create resistance to change - or solidify existing resistance..

    Old ideas prevent the adoption of new technologies and tools.

    Old ideas foster complacency within teams.

    Old ideas discourage creative problem-solving.

    Old ideas are less likely to align with current industry trends.

    Old ideas can resulted in a lot of wasted time.

    Old ideas limit diversity of thought and perspectives.

    Old ideas often result in a rigid, unchanging business culture.

    Old ideas reduce an organization’s agility in responding to new crises.

    Old ideas may increase vulnerability to disruption by more adaptive competitors.

    Old ideas shut new ideas down.

    Don't trust the people who keep giving you old ideas. 

    Encourage them to come up with new ones!
