I’m getting myself confused, can someone help please? I’ve got to move, as landlady wants to sell. There is myself, and young adults (19&21) can we get a 2 bedroom place and the kids share? TIA 🙂
"Creating a new idea is easier than _______ an old one." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Here's a thought to start your Monday: we often think that the hardest part of success is coming up with a "lightbulb moment." That crazy burst of inspiration. The moment of innovation brilliance.
But let’s face it: sometimes, starting from scratch is the easy part. The real challenge? Dealing with what’s already taking up space in our heads and complicating our lives. The baggage in our minds is often very, very real and gets in the way of our ability to move forward.
That's why it's tough to fix old problems, shed old legacies, and deal with old challenges.
Not convinced? Fill in the blank for your current situation: "Creating a new idea is easier than _______ an old one."
How about "Creating a new idea is easier than unlearning an old one." Or "Creating a new idea is easier than fixing an old one."
Substitute at will! Depending on what you're facing this week, one of these might hit home:
Unlearning: Our brains hate a rewrite. It’s often much harder to let go of an outdated belief than it is to learn something brand new.
Fixing: Band-aid solutions eventually become a heavy burden. Sometimes, the energy it takes to repair a broken system is better spent building a new one.
Replacing: We naturally cling to what’s familiar, even if it’s no longer helping us grow. Innovation is usually stalled by the friction of making the "switch."
Killing: In the creative world, they call this "killing your darlings." Letting go of an idea you’ve loved for years takes a specific kind of courage.
Reviving: Breathing life back into a stalled project is exhausting. Resuscitation is often more draining than a fresh birth.
Renovating: Updating an old idea means working within tight constraints. It’s a much tighter squeeze than working on a blank canvas.
Which one resonates?
Are you in a season of creation, or are you doing the heavy lifting of transformation?

"How you manage your disappointments defines whether you just heal, or whether you evolve!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Skiing has defined a large part of who I am and what I do.
And I've certainly documented my history with the sport here!
For over 25 years, the slopes have been my winter sanctuary. I’m usually the first one at the chairlift, chasing that perfect morning run and the "exuberance of the carve." It’s more than just a hobby; it’s a rhythm that connects me with friends and family, acting as the backdrop for some of my best memories.
The sport has even found its way into my professional life as a futurist. I’ve often written about the "Powder Principle." It's a story about a young engineer who turned down a high-paying job because it would mess with his skiing time, which became a great way to explain shifting generational values. I’ve also explored the link between high performance and business speed, drawing lessons from sharing the slopes with Olympian Larisa Yurkiw. Then there are numerous trends and innovation pieces I have written about the sport as a way of explaining the future and opportunity.
Skiing has always been a perfect metaphor for agility and looking ahead!
Of course, this past season didn't go as planned. As many of you know, a fall on the ice left me with a spinal injury that sidelined me for the entire winter. It was a tough break - literally- but I’m making this my final word on the matter.
Yesterday, during an early morning walk, I went over to the chairlift where I would usually start my day, at the sport where I would claim 'first chair.' It was tough to be there, but it was kind of a cathartic moment, and a big learning opportunity for me!
It reminded me that dwelling on the "what ifs" doesn't help anyone, and
frankly, I’m ready to move past the injury narrative and focus entirely on the recovery.
That brings me back to the idea of evolving. Instead of being bitter about the lost season, I’ve shifted my focus to what’s next. I’m trading the ski boots for golf clubs as I prepare for a tee time at St. Andrews in just 48 days, and I'm finding joy in new roles, like being a grandfather to Mason.
Managing disappointment isn't just about healing the damage; it's about pivoting to new opportunities with a positive mindset!

Let’s face it, we all hold onto things we shouldn’t, and it’s never easy to let go. The struggle comes when we try to change circumstances that are simply out of our control. You see, life isn’t always about holding on, sometimes the real courage is in letting go. It’s about finding peace with what … Continue reading "The art of letting go: 8 steps to finally make peace with what you cannot change"
