Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Opinions are like stomach gas. Sometimes you need to keep it to yourself!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Way back in January 2022, as some series of ongoing madness unfolded around the pandemic, I wrote my "Social Media Serenity Prayer" - "Grant me the maturity to understand the things I should not post, the insight to share the things I should, and the wisdom to quickly know the difference!"</p><p>A lot is going on in the world right now, and this might be a good time to once again share this wise counsel. After all, what's the upside in rushing into things, at least in the short term? Volatility will rage for some time, uncertainty will rule, and megaphones will blare.</p><p>That's why I wrote this at the time:</p><p>"I try to work hard to keep my opinions to myself. As a futurist, I'm on the side of facts, in a world in which for many people, facts don't matter - agendas do."</p><p>Borrowing from what I said then, and given what I do (I have a social media presence - Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Instagram) I share insights on trends, innovation, creativity, and things that capture my mind. But at every moment that I consume media, I often feel obliged to post to it. I also know that it's not a good idea to do that if you find yourself bubbling with rage, consumed with incredulity, or struggling with disbelief at what you see. Like many, I often want to lash out, respond, and try to set things straight.</p><p>And often, to my credit, I don't.</p><p>I've come to the point that I am still learning not to engage, debate, negotiate, or get into a squabble with many of the views that now permeate our online world. </p><p>It's a challenging world. Sometimes, we should keep our opinions to ourselves.</p><p>Just like stomach gas.</p><p>----</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/SocialMediaWisdom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SocialMediaWisdom</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/ThinkBeforeYouPost" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ThinkBeforeYouPost</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayProfessional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayProfessional</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/SelfControl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SelfControl</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/BrandIntegrity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BrandIntegrity</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/PauseAndReflect" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PauseAndReflect</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/ChooseWisely" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChooseWisely</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayPositive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayPositive</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/MindfulPosting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MindfulPosting</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayFocused" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayFocused</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-inspiration-personal-strategies-opinions-are-like-stomach-gas-sometimes-you-need-to-keep-it-to-yourself/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-personal-strategies-opinions-are-like-stomach-gas-sometimes-you-need-to-keep-it-to-yourself/</span></a></p>
Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Fear is a liar. Choose courage instead." - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>Today I want to write about resilience - why it's important, and why chasing resilience instead of giving in to fear is too important.</p><p>To do that, though, I need to tell you how I got to today's quote. I quite like it!</p><p>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.</p><p>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.</p><p>---</p><p>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:</p><p>Perseverance</p><p>Determination</p><p>Fortitude</p><p>Persistence</p><p>Resolve</p><p>----</p><p>I couldn't have said it better myself! (-;</p><p>Going further, I then asked myself to generate 10 inspirational posts from my material. The response I got was somewhat magical:</p><p>---</p><p>Here are 10 resilience quotes, inspired by Jim Carroll's perspective, using 10 words or less.</p><p>Guard your optimism, battle negativity.<br>Broken today, stronger tomorrow. Keep going.<br>Embrace change, find your faster self.<br>Resilience: Courage to bounce back, always.<br>Turn setbacks into fuel for the future.<br>Don't just recover, reinvent and rise.<br>Persistence: The art of never giving up.<br>Find strength in what you have, not losses.<br>Embrace uncertainty, it breeds opportunity.<br>Fear is a liar. Choose courage instead.</p><p>----<br>That's pretty good! I could have used any one of these, but I really liked the last one.</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/CourageOverFear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>CourageOverFear</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/ChooseCourage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ChooseCourage</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/FaceChallenges" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>FaceChallenges</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayPositive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>StayPositive</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/OvercomeFear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>OvercomeFear</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/EmbraceChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EmbraceChange</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/KeepGoing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>KeepGoing</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/GrowthMindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GrowthMindset</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/UnlockPotential" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UnlockPotential</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-inspiration-on-resilience-fear-is-a-liar-choose-courage-instead/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2024/11/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-on-resilience-fear-is-a-liar-choose-courage-instead/</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Try and be your better self" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>As they say, Monday's are for motivation.</p><p>For many, these are not easy days. It's OK not to be ok.</p><p>How do you handle a world of massive change, volatility and disappointment?</p><p>it takes work, effort, self-reflection, and working through a process. <br>Through the weekend, I put together a little Website with my thoughts - it's at <a href="https://coping.jimcarroll.com" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">coping.jimcarroll.com</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>You might want to visit the site to explore a voyage of how to cope - or read below.</p><p>#1 Try and be your better self. At the end of the day, you want to look at yourself in the mirror with pride as to how you've handled yourself.</p><p>#2 Set your expectations. Drastic change with unrealistic promises is a long-term voyage. All of this is going to take some time to unfold. Buckle in and buckle upset, and accept the fate of time.</p><p>#3 Ride your roller coaster. Your emotions are going to be all over the map. Come to expect that - and don't fight it. You've got to go through grief, anger, bewilderment, confusion, and more. Accept it as a part of the journey you did not want.</p><p>#4 Don’t give in to negativity. It will get worse before it gets better. That's reality. But work really hard to not let that change who you are, what you believe, and what you will do.</p><p>...alll the way up to....</p><p>#25 Believe in tomorrow. Some folks have a saying that gets them through their day today - "Tomorrow, the sun will rise in splendour." As tough as today might be, always believe there can be a better tomorrow.</p><p>----<br>For a brief moment last week, Futurist Jim Carroll decided to put his Daily Inspiration series on pause. Lots of people advised him not to do that, telling him that the posts work for them.
