  2. 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

  8. "Refuse to participate in the fear... choose to participate in the future." - Futurist Jim Carroll

    I don't know about you, but if you are like me, you probably have a disquieting sense of unease about 2026.

    Things aren't so great out there, are they?

    It would seem that as insanity settles in, the quiet tragedy that is dementia is screaming out its impact at full throttle. Anyone who has seen a senior in this situation recognizes the signs of decline and knows how it goes. Not well.

    The result is that all over the world, people are anxious, disturbed, worried, and fearful.

    I was reading a post by Dolly Parton of all people yesterday - she recently arrived on Substack. Aside from being a brilliant musical artist, she's a philanthropist with stunning business insight. This line in her post drew my attention:

    "My desire to do a thing is always greater than my fear of it."

    That made me think! And then I looked up the essence of the quote, and variations of it show it to be a very common motivational phrase.

    That being the case, I turned it around in my mind until I found a version that fits the trying times we find ourselves in today.

    Here's the thing: it's an odd time to be thinking about the future when an entire nation seems eager to tear it down.

    It's hard to focus on tomorrow when today is simply so weird.

    It's tough to align with what's next when what is current is truly terrifying.

    And yet, it's one of the most important ways to get through this moment of madness.

    May your hope for tomorrow outweigh your fear of where we are right now.

    Welcome to 2026.

    If Jim Carroll had to pick one word to describe 2026 so far, it would be 'weird.' Or, terrifying. Take your pick.

  19. Daily Inspiration: "Unleash. Master. Connect. Ignite. Translate. Pursue. Launch. Confront. Overcome. Ignore!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

    Every year, I put together a list of '10 great words' that I use to try to define a way of approaching. the year to come. They involve the overarching themes of future-oriented thinking, innovation, action, and personal growth while excluding the words I have already used, and focusing on action. These words are intended to serve as powerful motivational guidance.

    This tradition goes back to 2006 when I released my first list of '10 great words.' That took off as a stage story - I closed many an event with them as a powerful closing storyline

    In that vein, here are the 10 Great Words for 2025.

    "Unleash" potential with the mindset that despite volatility in 2025, there will be opportunity. To do that, you should continue to...

    "Master" new skills that are critical for applying this knowledge effectively. To make the most of this, you plan to...

    "Connect" more dots by using these skills and knowledge to see bigger patterns and opportunities. Once you see them, you need to make sure to .....

    "Ignite" every idea that emerges from these connections, sparking innovation and creativity. That will involve your ability to...

    "Translate" those ideas into actions to make tangible progress and bring concepts to life. Once that happens, you will be able to...

    "Pursue" the right opportunities that emerge from your actions, selecting those that promise the greatest impact. You'll need to make sure to...

    "Launch" those actions into full-scale initiatives, executing your plans with precision. Be ready though, to ....

    "Confront" the barriers that inevitably arise, addressing challenges head-on. And not only that but you will need to ...

    "Overcome" the obstacles by adapting and refining your strategies as necessary. And above you, given the volatility that is to come, you will need to
    ...

    "Ignore" the noise that distracts from your goals, focusing solely on what truly matters.

    How can you do all these things? Small steps!
