Three good things I'm grateful for:

1. The patience that keeps growing in me. I'm losing it less and less, and that feels like real progress.

2. For the book Love Your Enemies by Sharon Salzberg and Robert Thurman. It's helping me soften toward the people who frustrate me, and gently face the "enemy" within myself too.

3. Getting loose leaf tea as a gift.

"Anyone can find an excuse to stand still. Make it your life's work to find the reasons to move." - Futurist Jim Carroll

As a species, it seems we are engineered to stand still (or move back) rather than forward.

I was thinking about that yesterday — how easy it is to make excuses to avoid taking action.

I certainly do this, even though I often feature this issue when I’m speaking to my clients about innovation.

Right now, I’ve spent a few weeks — literally — getting ready to launch another blog series. This one is called: “36 LESSONS: THE ART OF THE INFINITE CAREER PIVOT.” It’s based on a list I wrote last November on the 35th anniversary of leaving the corporate workforce, starting my own company, and working from home.

I didn't write it beyond the original list. Other projects got in the way; client projects surfaced; I kept looking for the right design for the daily posts as well as the website that would go with it; my spinal injury intervened; and most importantly, family time, including with my new grandson, took over.

And over the last few months, I’ve managed to find every excuse in the book not to get going. Heck, I was going to start it today, but, well, I didn’t. 

So here we are! I’m writing a post about making excuses because I needed an excuse as to why I have yet to get it going!

So I’ll start it tomorrow. It’s good!

The same thing happens in the corporate space, particularly during geopolitical tensions. Right now, companies are postponing projects, abandoning initiatives, and hunkering down into inaction. There is a crazy amount of uncertainty with the economy, war, global tensions, politics — and so leaders are doing the easiest thing of all: nothing.

And that’s exactly why I wrote Dancing in the Rain — the subtitle, How Bold Leaders Grow Stronger in Stormy Times, provides the exact antidote to indecision. (Grab it via dancing.jimcarroll.com!)

It’s really quite simple.

Stop stopping.

Start moving.
