For me, those lessons started in grade-school classrooms and on playgrounds. Silence and ridicule taught me something “wrong” with me long before I understood why I felt different.

"Success will often depend on what you choose to ignore.” - 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.
--If you follow me, you will know I'm very big on not following big hype. Far too many trends are overplayed and overemphasized, and yet under-reach with unrealistic potential.
Why is that? Because I've seen over and over and over again what happens when excessively hyped trends don't become real in the short term. But here's a fun fact - I also believe the observation by Bill Gates that we tend to overestimate the impact of a trend in the short term, but underestimate it's impact its impact in the long term.
Which means timing is everything!
So let's put this conundrum into perspective. Many of us are conditioned to believe that success is about absorption. More information, more networking, more trends, more hustle leads to more success - that type of thing. But my own voyage through the global economy has taught me that the opposite is true. As the world gets louder, your success doesn't depend on what you take in. It depends on what you ruthlessly exclude.
The "Infinite Pivot" isn't just about moving toward the new; it's about knowing which 'new' to avoid, and when.
Fast-moving trends can often be a powerful distraction. The buzz they generate It is a chaotic mix of breaking news, viral hype, and the promise of quick riches. But if you jump on too soon, you'll get burned. Too late, and you'll miss the opportunity. Did I mention timing is everything?
There's also the aspect of how real any particular trend might be - and which should be ignored. The most profound shifts in my career happened when I finally built a "cognitive firewall" against trivial trends.
In an era of infinite distraction, the person who can choose what not to care about is the only one who can truly see what's coming.
Don't just filter the future.
Manage your attention.

Excommunicate Me
Excommunicate me, then.
Ring the bell if you have one. Draw the line in ash. Nail the notice to the chapel door. Speak my name in the flat voice reserved for weather, death, and disappointment. Tell the saints to avert their eyes. Tell the children not to ask questions. Tell the old women in the kitchen to lower their voices when I pass. I have grown used to doors closing with the gentleness of those who think themselves righteous.Excommunicate me for loving too widely, for asking where the missing ones went, for lingering too long at the edge of the map where the heretics, addicts, doubters, dissidents, and queer-eyed prophets make their fires at night. Excommunicate me for saying that Christ still wanders there, coat smelling of smoke, hands warm from other people’s wounds. Excommunicate me for suspecting that the kingdom keeps being born in places your committees have not approved.
Cast me out for refusing to confuse your fences with holiness.
Cast me out for noticing how often your purity is purchased with somebody else’s loneliness.
Cast me out for believing that a table is still a table even when the wrong people find bread there first.I know how this works. First comes the sorrowful meeting. Then the careful language. Then the phrases dressed in prayer like soldiers dressed in hymnals. We say discernment when we mean fear. We say order when we mean control. We say peace when we mean silence from those already bruised. We say love while measuring who may enter it. We say truth with our arms folded.
Excommunicate me because I cannot keep pretending that the wound in the Body is healed by cutting off another limb.
I have seen too much of the outside to fear it now. I have seen the banished making soup for one another. I have seen the condemned share coats in winter. I have seen those denied the sacraments become sacraments for each other: bread in famine, oil in sickness, a hand on the shoulder in the long vestibule of grief. I have heard better theology whispered on back steps than shouted from polished pulpits. I have watched the Spirit climb out the stained-glass window and go where she is not expected.
Excommunicate me, and I will go down among the unclaimed.
I will kneel beside the ones your footnotes could not save.
I will keep company with the mothers whose prayers embarrassed you, the children whose questions outgrew your answers, the men who wept when they were told to be strong, the women who spoke and were called dangerous, the wanderers who could not make your narrow gate into a home.And if you shut me out from your sanctuary, I will make a sanctuary of the road.
If you deny me your blessing, I will learn the blessing of crows at morning, of rain on rusted tin, of strangers who still know how to share fire.
If you call me lost, I will answer that some of us were never meant to be found by empires.Do not threaten me with the outer dark.
I have met God there.Not the tidy god of minutes and motions, not the well-behaved deity who always sides with the CEO, but the God who haunts the threshold, who leaves the ninety-nine to go where the crying is, who touches the unclean and is not diminished, who slips through locked doors and still carries wounds, who keeps raising what the pious have buried.
Excommunicate me for this: I no longer believe belonging is yours to ration.
I no longer believe grace requires your seal.
I no longer believe heaven trembles when your vote is taken.
The veil was torn without your permission, and it has never been properly mended.So do it.
Write me out.
Strike my name from the roll.
Erase me from the minutes.
Tell yourselves the garden is safer now that one more wild thing has been removed.But listen: roots work in secret. Seeds pass through the beaks of birds and are planted in their shit. Wind ignores decrees. What you cast out does not always die. Sometimes it takes hold beyond the wall and flowers in the rubble, and those passing by say, I did not know beauty could grow here.
Excommunicate me, then.

I will go with Christ among the cast out.
I will go where the lepers still ring their bells, where the scapegoats stagger into the wilderness, where the rejected stone waits in the dust.
And when at last you come looking for God, breathless with your censures, your keys jangling at your side, do not be surprised to find us already inside the feast, the doors flung wide, the music loud, the wounded laughing, and every empty place at the table set for one more. -
