Daily Inspiration: "The future is going to happen to all of us. It’s what YOU do with that fact that matters!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
You can't blame others if you don't arrive tomorrow in good shape.
It's not the fault of other people if you aren't prepared.
You can't play the blame game.
It's all about action.
Every day involves a series of choices when it comes to the future.
What new skills do I need to develop? What new knowledge do I need to chase? What new experiences should I be trying to pursue? What attitude do I need to cultivate to accept the change that tomorrow represents? What trends do I need to understand to align my thinking?
What actions can I start taking at this very moment in time to get ready for what comes next?
What does all of this mean?
It means taking the right steps to move forward, not back!
Take responsibility - stop making excuses!
Stop being indecisive - decide that right now is the best time to act, adapt, and innovate.
Stop waiting for the perfect moment - that's an inaction trap.
Recognize the benefits of action - the future rewards those who move quickly and decisively.
Develop courage - instead of fearing the unknown of tomorrow, embrace it!
Stop planning and start doing - there's never a right time, just time!
Like I've said before - "wait and see" is not a strategy.
Those who are proactive and decisive are the ones who win.
Last but not least adopt a mindset of action and urgency, recognizing that the future belongs to those who are fast!Those all sound like some pretty basic statements, but hidden within their core is the idea that to banish inaction is to achieve the momentum you need RIGHT NOW.

Daily Inspiration: "Do things!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Never fall into the trap of saying “I could have done that" - because that means you live a life in which you never try! (This was the first version, significantly shortened!)
Instead, be a person who does things! Who thinks about things, and then sets off to do those things.
The most successful people are those who think and those who do.
Those who think through the difficult problems and then do something about the solution they find. Those who dare to dream big, and then do something to chase those dreams. Those who never say "I should have done that!" but instead, said, "Let's do it!" Action matters, initiative counts, and avoiding paralysis is critical. That means acting now – you should never wait for perfect conditions to start moving forward - instead, in a fast-moving world, your success will come from acting now, and making adjustments as you go.
Doing things matters too in terms of your knowledge and expertise - because doing things builds up your experience. Success is not a moment in time but a voyage that combines multiple failures with small marginal improvements that occur over time - your cumulative experience in doing things. The more you 'do' things, the more you find a path that allows that thing to become the bedrock for overall success.
Inaction kills - not doing things leads to organizational sclerosis. I've encountered far too many situations where organizations that are trying to chase innovation never succeed - because they never take the actual steps to achieve the goals that are set out. They never accomplish the things they need to accomplish - because they always end up following the leader after the leader has done something.
Stop stopping.
Start doing.
Do things.
