Daily Inspiration: "You can't do extraordinary things with an ordinary mindset!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

You know what separates the disruptors from the disrupted? It's not their technology. It's not their budget.

It's their mindset.

That's why one of the best things we can do to move forward to to stop thinking about what is and start thinking about what could be. Because here's the thing: if you're still operating with an ordinary mindset in these extraordinary times, you're not just standing still - you're moving backward.

Think about it - you will never:

- find new opportunities if you're always clinging to old habits

- outpace the competition by doing what everyone else is doing

- learn new things if you're afraid to let go of old ones

- find your passion if you fear exploration

- move forward if you keep looking back

- reach your destination if you're afraid to take the first step

- build resilience if you shy away from adversity

- truly live if you're afraid to take risks

- find true success if you are chasing someone else's definition of it

The fact is, you will never achieve greatness if you settle for mediocrity. That's why the title of my upcoming satirical book is titled "Embracing Mediocrity."

All of the ideas above, if you think about them, emphasize how important it is to break free from conventional thinking, embrace change, take risks, and focus on the future to achieve extraordinary results. It's all about having a proactive, innovative, and resilient mindset. The fact is this - the future isn't some distant concept we're waiting for - it's being created right now, by people who refuse to accept "that's how we've always done it" as an answer.

They aren't settling for mediocrity.
