"This might not be the future we wanted to be living in. But it need not be the only future that we are doomed to have!" -Futurist Jim Carroll

The rest of the world is tired.

Tired of the insanity, the depravity, the increasingly strange twists and turns of a mind that is becoming more unstable at every moment.

Later today, I'm off to keynote a Canadian automotive conference. Talk about an industry caught in the middle of the craziness! They probably never imagined ten years ago when I spoke to them that their future would be the subject of the wild twists and turns of a mind of madness.

That's probably why Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney's speech in Davos has resonated so much all over the world. He put things clearly. It's time to move on. Recognize that the old future is gone. Build a new one!

Because at some point, you've got to admit that you've had enough - and do your own thing. Define your own game. Play by different rules when the old rules are gone.

"I'm aware that not everyone approved of how I played, but I don't think any apologies are in order. Early in my career, I decided that it was worth it to do whatever was necessary..." - Gordie Howe."

It might not be the future Canada wanted. But that being the case, Canada is busy engineering a different - and what will likely be a better - future.

There are very powerful leadership lessons here. Often, we don't end up with the future we want - and so it often becomes critical to define things so you can end up with a different - and often better - future.

Always keep that in mind.

When you've had enough, it's time to move on.

That's what the rest of the world is doing now.

Business needs to follow.

Yes, I'm tired, but I'm never too tired to write. So here's what my version of tired looks like.

Sometimes re-connecting with yourself is the most important thing you can do for yourself. Sometimes it's the only thing you can do for yourself. Allow yourself to do it.
