"Let relentless optimism define your core!" - 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.

For those who might ask, I'm in California today, on stage at 9 am with a keynote for a packaging conference. if the weather gods are willing, I'll be landing back at YYZ about 910pm, and should see a splashdown at perhaps 1030pm. Traditions and all!

On a milestone like today, you realize that the most important piece of "gear" you’ve carried through 36 years isn't a laptop or a library of data.

It’s your outlook.

In a world of relentless change, volatility, and a staggering rate of change that always seems to directly impact you, the most radical mindset you can adapt is to stay relentlessly optimistic.

Optimism isn't about being naive; it’s about being strategic. It's about making a conscious decision that you are always going to try to find the upside, instead of obsessing over the downside. You are going to find the opportunities rather than becoming distressed about the negatives. It means you are going to always act to keep moving forward, even though personal circumstances seem to be trying to drag you backward.

And it always involves thinking about a potentially better future. Look, if you don't believe the future can be better, you won't do the hard work required to pivot toward it. In my voyage, I’ve seen that the cynics are usually right in the short term, but the optimists are the ones who build the long term. Cynicism is a destructive force: optimism is a powerful flex.

This is the secret to longevity. When you choose optimism as your core, every disruption becomes an opportunity rather than a threat. Throughout my 36 years, the pivots that felt the most effortless were the ones fueled by a genuine excitement for what was coming next.

If you let fear define your core, you will build a career based on standing still.
Doing small things. Making small steps. Chasing small goals.

But if you let optimism define your core, you build a career based on possibility.

Big ideas. Big trends. Big opportunities.

As I stand at this milestone today, I’m not looking at the challenges that exist around me today.

I'm looking at what comes next and what I will do to be a part of it.

That being the case, think about this: the future belongs to those who are excited to meet it!

先ずは己から示せ！　Покажіть це спочатку самі!
礼儀や敬意を求める以前に己自身が示し、模範と成るべき。
Якщо ви хочете, щоб люди віталися з вами і поводилися чемно, ви повинні це показати.

先ずは己から示せ！　Покажіть це спочатку самі!
ご挨拶して頂きたい、礼儀良く振る舞われたいの有れば、先ずは己から示すべき。
У цьому світі є багато людей, які зневажливо дивляться на інших і поводяться зарозуміло.
