   "Define your future, don't just show up for it." - Futurist Jim Carroll

   Do you make things happen, or watch things happen? Do you move forward with intention, or sit back as a passive observer? Do you take the initiative or wait for others to start you up?

   Here's what I know - one of the most important things you can do is to stop simply showing up for whatever happens next. I fed 9 years' worth of my blog posts to Google Gemini and asked it, "What actions have I written about that show a proactive mindset?" It came back with the ideas below, and I must admit, these 25 "mindset hacks" are pretty powerful ideas designed to transform your approach to tomorrow, empowering you to build the future you envision - rather than simply letting it happen to you.

   It all begins with a core philosophy: you are not a victim of circumstance but the designer of your own life. Every decision you make today is laying the foundation for tomorrow's reality. This transformation starts with one foundational mindset.

   1. The Architect Mindset: See yourself as the architect of your future, not a passive tenant just living in it. Your daily choices, habits, and actions are the materials and blueprints for the life you are actively building.

   25. The "Define, Don't Follow" Mindset. Don't wait for others to define your future for you. Be the one who asks the big questions, proposes the bold ideas, and takes the courageous first steps.

   These are the two mindsets that should form your core philosophy: you are not a victim of circumstance but the designer of your destiny. Every decision you make today is laying the foundation for tomorrow's reality.

   To get there, you need to adapt. Read the post for 23 more.

   > Yeah, I don't agree with that assessment. The Dem party certainly has some radical elements, but describing their core party platform or the majority of their members as radical does not seem to be supported by reality.

   To be clear it is NOT their "core party platform", ie their core values, as stated that are radical. They are largely reasaonable even if i disagree with some of it.

   The problem is the members, both voters and candidates, have become absolute lunatics, this is **contrary** to their core values if anything. Thats my point, the dems that actually stick to the party's stated values **must** disagree with the majority of the party that has become completely radicalized.

   > The Republican platform is currently "let's dismantle the government and constitution in the name of efficiency for our god-king"

   They certainly have, and that is why I claim they are radicalized, among other reasons. On the republican side, this time around he is very clearly trained and targeting dictatorship... last time he was just a fool with delusions of granduer. Frankly even the democrats arent seeing the moves it seems. Musk's mass email was an attempt to catalog all federal employees, identify political enemies, and eliminate them. The system is designed that the president does NOT have a list of all employees, he couldnt even send out the mass email directly.

   It is right out of Hitler's playbook with one to one matching of events.

   False flag: Reichstag fire -> Trump attempted assassination

   Removing political enemies: Communists being arrested -> Musk's mass email and control over judicial branch

   Disarming the populace: Verordnung gegen den Waffenbesitz der Juden -> Trumps gun restraining order

   > the Democrat platform is an incredibly meek "no, please stop, maybe, sir?"

   We just had 4 years of a president whose career was entirely motivated by keeping segregation alive. They literally just had the only possible politican more racist than Trump himself.

   Not to mention the riots and violence I witnessed... meek is far from the truth, they were radical **first** and managed to radicalize trump supports in response and this is why it turned into this. They just got out radicalized by Trump and their whole response is "clearly we werent radical enough".

   @georgetakei A note here: A fascist state seeks to replace a nation's rich culture with its own depauperate, hate-based culture. It also seeks to replace reality with its own false reality.

   To do this, it strikes at the groups of people most responsible for transmitting the culture to the next generation, such as professors and teachers, journalists, artists and writers, movie makers, and, yes, librarians.
