At its heart, it's a deep dive into a question I've wrestled with for years: 𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘺 𝘩𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘴 𝘶𝘴 𝘣𝘢𝘤𝘬 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘦𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭 𝘱𝘰𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘢𝘭?These aren't your typical self-help books. I designed them to be profoundly fun yet powerfully insightful, challenging you to rethink your approach to achievement without getting bogged down in complex theory. They offer a unique perspective on recognizing the often unconscious "gravitational pull of the ordinary" and then, critically, how to break free. They're meant to be revisited, pondered, and used to continuously challenge your own thinking.They are getting a fantastic reaction from those who have read them!If you've ever felt stuck, or wondered what's truly possible for you, I invite you to explore the integrated approach these books offer to finding your path forward.

WIST Quotations<a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18398/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">A quotation from Teddy Roosevelt</a><blockquote>Practical equality of opportunity for all citizens, when we achieve it, will have two great results. First, every man will have a fair chance to make of himself all that in him lies; to reach the highest point to which his capacities, unassisted by special privilege of his own and unhampered by the special privilege of others, can carry him, and to get for himself and his family substantially what he has earned. Second, equality of opportunity means that the commonwealth will get from every citizen the highest service of which he is capable. No man who carries the burden of the special privileges of another can give to the commonwealth that service to which it is fairly entitled.</blockquote>Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919) American politician, statesman, conservationist, writer, US President (1901-1909) Speech (1910-08-31), “The New Nationalism,” John Brown Memorial Park dedication, Osawatomie, Kansas Sourcing, notes: <a href="https://wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/18398/" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">wist.info/roosevelt-theodore/1…</a><a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quote" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quote</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotes</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=quotation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#quotation</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=qotd" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#qotd</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equalopportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#equalopportunity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=achievement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#achievement</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#civilrights</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=discrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#discrimination</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=earning" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#earning</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=employment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#employment</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=equality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#equality</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=fairness" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fairness</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=nondiscrimination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#nondiscrimination</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=opportunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#opportunity</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=privilege" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#privilege</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=socialgood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#socialgood</a> <a href="https://my-place.social/search?tag=society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#society</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll"𝐃𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐲. 𝐆𝐞𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫!" - Futurist Jim CarrollI meet a lot of marginal people.They live marginal lives.Chasing marginal goals.With marginal ideas.And keep achieving, well, marginal things!What causes this? Part of it is that they just adopt a mindset of mediocrity - that's why I wrote the books!I remember the situation at one agricultural talk - it was for a long-standing company in the industry. They were faced with unrelenting pressures on every front — input costs climbing faster than their yields, commodity prices swinging wildly from one season to the next, and financial challenges piling up. Drought or deluge could wipe out an entire year’s work in a matter of weeks. Global markets were their future and yet not in their control - their fortunes rose or fell on decisions made in trading pits half a continent away. (Fast forward a few years to today, and the global situation is different altogether!)My talk focused on the key trends in the sector - key growth opportunities. Things like accelerating automation, faster science, the next generation, and other trends.But when you are in front of a crowd, you can read the room, and I could certainly read the room on this day. To me, it was a crowd rejecting much of what I was talking about as a path forward because they’d learned to settle for “good enough.”Why? Because that felt safer than trying something new and failing.And that’s where the mindset of mediocrity takes hold. When you’ve been burned by weather extremes, when the bank’s watching your loans, when every harvest feels like a cliff edge, it’s tempting to stick with what you know. But what you know isn’t enough. I reminded them that breakthroughs don’t happen by tweaking yesterday’s ideas - they come when you refuse to accept marginal returns on marginal ideas. Because the alternative is a slow grind toward extinction.Here's the thing about 'getting by.' It's a failure! Know these things:- the status quo is no longer 'good enough. The landscape is littered with companies and careers that thought "average" was a strategy.- complacency is the new corporate suicide. If you're not actively pushing the envelope, you're already sealed in it,- growth isn't a project, it's oxygen! "Get better!" should be your mantra. action eats inaction for breakfast! Tomorrow demands forward motion, deliberate daily steps, and turning bold vision into tangible reality."Don't just get by, Get better!" isn't just a catchy phrase. It's a survival guide for the age of acceleration.Are you coasting on fumes, or actively managing a way forward?---Jim Carroll’s new books, Embracing Mediocrity and Escaping Mediocrity, provide insight into the path of our marginality.**<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Growth</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Excellence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Excellence</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Improvement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Improvement</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Progress</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Action" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Action</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Innovation</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mindset</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Forward" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Forward</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Achievement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Achievement</a>** **<a href="https://mastodon.futurist.info/tags/Success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Success</a>**Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-dont-just-get-by-get-better/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-dont-just-get-by-get-better/</a>

Futurist Jim Carroll"Cheer for the wins even when they're not yours" - Futurist Jim CarrollI'm Canadian.And there's a phrase—or maybe more of a vibe—that's familiar to just about anyone in this country who's achieved some level of success:"Don’t get too big for your britches."The reason I bring this up, of course, is because I was reading a book called "A Course Called Ireland: A Long Walk in Search of a Country, a Pint, and the Next Tee." It's a wonderful story of a fellow who decided to walk through all of Ireland, to golf. Walking, from one course to another. Without a car or any other form of transport.While reading the book, I came across this passage:"There would always be Irish grumblers at the end of the bar who turned sour at the faint whiff of success -my mother described the Irish she grew up with as champions at commiserating over failure, but real failures at celebrating someone else's good fortune."Whoah. You can tell it caught my attention and got me thinking. Back to Canada. It’s the unspoken rule in so many corners of Canadian life that you can stand out, but not too much. Succeed, but don’t talk about it. Be proud, but stay humble. It’s part humility, part politeness, and part something else: a cultural reflex to keep things “even.” Ask any Canadian who’s built something big, chased a bold dream, or landed in the spotlight. There’s often a quiet pushback. A little side-eye. A subtle signal that maybe they should tone it down.So is this mindset a unique form of Canadian bitterness.? Hard to say. It’s more like an inherited caution. But it might be one reason why Canada is known globally as an innovation laggard. <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Success" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Success</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Celebration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Celebration</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/TallPoppy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#TallPoppy</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Mindset</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Achievement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Achievement</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Support" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Support</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Growth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Growth</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Culture" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Culture</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Resentment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#Resentment</a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#inspiration</a> Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-cheer-for-the-wins-even-when-theyre-not-yours/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://jimcarroll.com/2025/05/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-cheer-for-the-wins-even-when-theyre-not-yours/</a>

Mark GardnerThere’s no filling the void left behind when your <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/morality" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#morality</a> demands that you deny yourself.That’s the source of <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/envy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#envy</a>, the source of hatred of the good for being the good.You hate the altruistic deal you make every morning when you wake up, alive because you haven’t yet given your last breath serving others.You feel the guilt of your continued existence. You know you deserve punishment, and so does everyone else, starting with those who have the most. The less remorse they show, the more they claim to have honestly achieved, all of that is more evidence of monstrous <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/injustice" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#injustice</a>.Compared to your meager but still all-consuming guilt, their moral ledger is so much more in the red. Your morality excepts no one, and they have so much more to pay.So you tear them down with your thoughts, with your words, with your votes. Maybe you’re too cowardly to directly deprive them of their life, <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/liberty" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#liberty</a>, and property, but you’re not above joining the envious chorus of the howling mob.And when one achiever finally breaks and succumbs, you move to the next. And the next. And the next after that. Because every morning, the void is still empty.<a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/altruism" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#altruism</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/philosophy" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#philosophy</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/achievement" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#achievement</a> <a class="hashtag" href="https://ack.nerdfight.online/tag/wealth" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#wealth</a>
