SOURCE: STAT NEWS MENTAL HEALTHTITLE: Opinion: Living with bullet fragments in the body can have long-term medical consequences
Oronde McClain was only 10 when he was shot in the head while caught in the gunfire of a drive-by shooting. He had to learn how to walk and talk again after an eight-week coma and the removal of one-third of his brain.
Twenty-five years later, McClain still lives with the health consequences of this incident. He has seizures, and his right side is partially paralyzed. He also lives with the physical remnants of what happened that day — specifically 36 retained bullet fragments that are lodged inside his brain and skull.

"Make difficult decisions sooner. (Even when you don't want to)" - 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.
--At one moment in time, I had Google Claude analyze the thousands of blog posts I've written since 2002, to try to come up with a list of the unique phrases I've come up with through the years. It came back with a massive list. and called them "Jim'isms." I'm pretty proud of the list, since these phrases often capture the essence of the ideas I share with my clients and readers.
The one I am proudest of is probably the one with which you are most familiar: "aggressive indecision." I coined it back in 2002 to describe the tendency among my clients to make the tough decisions that need to be made, particularly when uncertainty reigns.
And it led me to believe that the most dangerous words in any business or life are, "Let's wait and see."
When we wait, we fail. We might tell ourselves we are being prudent, being cautious, but usually, we are just being hesitant. In my 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the difficulty of a decision doesn’t decrease with time: it only compounds. To stay ahead of the curve, you must learn to make difficult decisions sooner, especially when you don't want to.
Every successful pivot I’ve made in my career and business required me to cut ties with something comfortable but declining. Whether it was walking away from a stable career path or sunsetting a keynote topic that was still "doing okay," the hardest part identify8ing what I needed to do. It involved actually doing it.
As humans, we are engineered, it seems, to avoid the tough decisions. And yet often, that's the only way to get ahead!
The simple fact is this: if you wait until you are forced to make a decision, you aren't pivoting; you’re reacting.
Making decisions sooner -m even when you don't want to - is the antidote to aggressive indecision. Most organizations and people stay stuck because they treat difficult choices like a burden to be avoided rather than a strategic advantage to be seized. By making the tough call early, when you still have resources and momentum, you control the future to the extent you can. If you wait until your hand is forced, the market (or the crisis) controls you.
Don't let the weight of a difficult choice paralyze you.
Make the call.
Futurist Jim Carroll believes that 'aggressive indecision' is the root cause of most failure.

"Regret is far more expensive than failure" - 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 people and organizations are paralyzed by a single, haunting question: "What if I fail?"
They spend months (sometimes years) conducting risk assessments and feasibility studies, all designed to protect themselves from the sting of a mistake. They personally try to avoid risk, or in the case of companies, have entire risk management teams, whose goal is to minimize and eliminate risk. They insulate themselves from bold moves because they cannot bear to see things go wrong.
And in doing so, they miss out on a lot of opportunity - and come to regret it later.
What's worse? Trying to do something and seeing it go wrong? Or thinking back years later, "I should have tried to do it!"
In my own 36-year voyage, I’ve learned that the most dangerous risk isn't the pivot that goes wrong: it's the pivot that never happens. We need to stop obsessing over the cost of a "miss" and start focusing on the only question that truly matters: "What if I never try at all?"
Think of it this way: failure is a temporary setback but a valuable asset. You can learn from it, adjust, and pivot again. But the idea of never trying at all results in a permanent loss of potential. You don't learn and become stuck where you are, missing out on the chance to go where you should be going.
I’ve sat in boardrooms with legacy companies that are now obsolete, not because they made a bad bet, but because they were too afraid to place a bet at all. They chose the "safety" of the status quo, only to find that the status quo had moved on without them.
The Infinite Pivot isn't about being fearless; it’s about being more afraid of standing still than you are of moving forward. When you look back at your career or your company’s history a decade from now, you won't remember the small stumbles.
You will only remember the doors you were too scared to open.
Remember: the risk of the unknown is manageable.
But the cost of "what if" or "if only" is infinite.

Futurist Jim Carroll believes that having a case of the 'if-only's' is worse than suffering from a case of the 'whoops!'

Walking naturally after spinal cord injury using a brain–spine interface
A spinal cord injury interrupts the communication between the brain and the region of the spinal cord that produces walking, leading to paralysis. Here, we restored this communication with a digital bridge between the brain and spinal cord that enabled an individual with chronic tetraplegia to stand and walk naturally in community settings.

Wireless Brain-Spine Interface: A Leap Towards Reversing Paralysis
Researchers have designed a wireless brain-spine interface enabling a paralyzed man to walk naturally again. The ‘digital bridge’ comprises two electronic implants — one on the brain and another on the spinal cord — that decode brain signals and stimulate the spinal cord to activate leg muscles.
Remarkably, the patient experienced significant recovery in sensory perceptions and motor skills.#Neuroscience #Neurology #Brain #SpinalCord #SpinalCordInjury #Paralysis #BrainSpineInterface #DigitalBridge #Neurotechnology #Neurotech

A quotation from Franklin Roosevelt
So, first of all, let me assert my firm belief that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself — nameless, unreasoning, unjustified terror which paralyzes needed efforts to convert retreat into advance.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt (1882-1945) American lawyer, politician, statesman, US President (1933-1945)
Speech (1933-03-04), Inaugural Address, Washington, D.C.More info about this quote: wist.info/roosevelt-franklin-d…

"Waiting for total clarity is the fastest way to become irrelevant". - 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.
---When I walked out of the corporate world 36 years ago, I thought I needed a five-year plan.
That’s actually kind of funny to think about now.
I quickly realized that in a world of high-velocity change, a five-year plan is certainly on the list of things that won’t happen! I came to learn that the real danger I faced wasn’t a bad plan; it was what I’ve come to call the Clarity Trap.
That’s the belief that you must see the entire path before you take the first step!
Since then, I’ve spent three decades watching the brilliant leaders and organizations become caught in the trap. I’ve seen them paralyze their future because they were “waiting for the dust to settle,” for the path forward to become clear, for the future to be more certain. And they end up waiting a long time. All the while, they think they are being diligent, but as they wait for the “perfect” view ahead, the landscape they were studying has already shifted.
Whether you are running a global corporation or a solo practice, if you wait for 100% certainty, you are already too late.
I didn’t have a map for the last 36 years; I believed the trends I was watching were going to unfold into something bigger. When I dove into the early Internet in 1994, the technology was messy, and the business models were nonexistent. Yet I didn’t wait for clarity; I gained clarity by moving.
The Infinite Pivot requires you to execute on partial data, imperfect information, and a stunning lack of focus. You have to be willing to move when the clarity of the future is still uncertain — and be prepared to adjust your course mid-flight. This is particularly true when uncertainty dominates and volatility rages. Your only real protection at this point is momentum. If you are moving, at least you can steer. If you are standing still, you are just a target for disruption.
This reality becomes even more challenging in an exponential world. The “safe” move of waiting for more information is actually the riskiest move you can make. The only way to find out if a pivot works is to make the turn.
Stop waiting for the “right” time.
The right time is the moment you realize that standing still is a choice to be obsolete.
---Futurist Jim Carroll has learned that chasing an unclear future is one of the most important things we can do.

Pneumonia AND sepsis!!
In midst of sending out last update (ĺink below), air got bad here in Albuquerque NM from huge fire. Came down with #pneumonia + #sepsis. In hospital now. 😞
Struck with extra medical bills, need help to cover ~$2,000. Thanks for nothing to the stinkin' Rs. Whatever you can toss in the pot, greatly appreciated. Links to contribute here.

Mobility design based on a fossil fuel infrastructure
"Fuel costs from Iran war forcing Australians to cancel domestic road travel, flights, cruises."
"We can't risk getting stranded in the bush with no fuel. If you can't move your car, you can't buy food, you can't survive."
"Experts call for a rethink on tourism's dependence on fossil fuels." >>
https://www.abc.net.au/news/2026-03-18/iran-war-fuel-hikes-affecting-domestic-travel/106463290Over-reliance on (fossil fuel) tourism
"The tourism industry is extremely vulnerable to economic, social, and political changes in either the generating or host countries. Diversification in an economy is a sign of health. If a country, or region within a country, becomes dependent for its economic survival on one industry and that industry fails then the social consequences can be devastating. Overdependence on one or two industries is also often accompanied by underdevelopment within other sectors of the economy such as education, health, and the manufacturing and agricultural industries." >>
