Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"The long arc of the future always rewards the resilient!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>It is what it is. We are where we are. This moment in 2025 feels like a bad dream to many, and the assault on the global economy was a tipping point for many worldwide. With that in mind, I'm devoting the next few weeks of my Daily Inspiration to addressing a key question: How do we lead through uncertainty. How do we lead ourselves - what's our mindset? How do we lead others - how can we help? How do we lead our organizations - how do we keep moving forward? I spent a lot of time on this theme during and after the downturns of 2001, 2008 and again during 2020. There is a lot to revisit, and a lot to think about. The theme is 'resilience,' and we can all learn more about. </p><p>We’re living through an era where it feels like the very idea of progress is under siege.</p><p>Science is questioned. Facts are ignored. Bold ideas are met with backlash. Funding is cut. In parts of the world—especially in the U.S.—there’s a growing, dangerous desire to rewind the clock. It’s an effort to return to some imaginary "better time," rather than confronting the future with the courage and creativity it demands.</p><p>And yet—despite it all—the future hasn’t stopped moving forward.</p><p>You can delay progress. You can defund it. You can deny it. You can hammer it with ill-advised or even idiotic decisions.But you can’t delete it.</p><p>Never forget that fact, and act accordingly.</p><p>Don't give in. Don't give up. Don't give way.</p><p>The long arc of innovation always bends forward. History is clear on this: the future always finds a way.</p><p>It’s tempting, especially now, to be disillusioned. To believe the cynics are winning. To think progress is on pause. It's easy to let fear strike us every day, stunning us into frozen disbelief.</p><p>But don’t confuse noise for momentum. The future doesn’t follow headlines. It follows courage, capital, and conviction. And all three are still alive and well—albeit a bit battered and bruised. But they are still there.</p><p>As a futurist, I’ve always said the future belongs to those who are fast. But today, I’d add this: it also belongs to those who refuse to flinch.</p><p>If some people want to step back from the future—that’s their choice.</p><p>You? Step forward. The future is still yours— ours— to build.</p><p>----</p><p>Futurist Jim Carroll gets up every morning, checking the headlines, seeking the answer to the same question. You know what it is.</p><p>**<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Resilience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Resilience</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Future</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Innovation</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Progress" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Progress</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Uncertainty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Uncertainty</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Optimism</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Courage" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Courage</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Mindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Mindset</span></a>** **<a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Adaptation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Adaptation</span></a>**</p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-the-long-arc-of-the-future-always-rewards-the-patient/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decodin</span><span class="invisible">g-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-the-long-arc-of-the-future-always-rewards-the-patient/</span></a></p>

Futurist Jim Carroll<p>"You can always chase away the season of gloom by pursuing the data of hope!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>So let's talk about what I call the 'season of gloom' and the new phrase that is sweeping the tech and AI world, 'vibe coding.'</p><p>It turns out that I'm in the midst of the former and have been doing the latter.</p><p>The 'season of gloom?' That's what I call this period between the end of ski season and the start of golf. Some folks call it other things, and some are not fit for sharing. According to one chart, yesterday we were in the midst of our third winter.</p><p>Yesterday, we had a massive little mini-blizzard, ice pellets, freezing rain, rain - and then just now, overnight, some pretty massive thunderstorms. Golf can't start soon enough! I try to manage my despair by opening my pool in just over a week for a quick swim.</p><p>I also try to keep my optimism for spring in check by following various long-range weather forecasts to try to get a sense of when we might emerge from the gloom. I have, for many years, been trying to teach myself to understand these long-range weather patterns by studying various weather model forecast maps. To do that this year, I've been doing a bit of 'vibe coding' - I just created my nifty new long-range weather page which I built using AI. You can visit it at <a href="https://weather.beingoblio.com/longrange.html" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">weather.beingoblio.com/longran</span><span class="invisible">ge.html</span></a></p><p>This little page lets me access various long-range weather models, to get a sense of what might be happening with the weather 10 to 14 days out. There's not a lot of consistency in weather predictions that far out, but this can be used to get a sense of where there is some agreement and where might find ourselves in terms of the jet stream, temperature patterns, high and low-pressure systems, and more. (Click the little 'i' icon and you can get a description of each map.)<br>I'm using it to try to chase away the gloom, by understanding what the weather might look like two weeks out - hence, today's quote. <br>I'm waiting for a real spring vibe to kick in.</p><p>I'm still waiting.</p><p>But there is hope.</p><p>Fore!</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/vibecoding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>vibecoding</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Hope" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Hope</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Data" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Data</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Weather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Weather</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Optimism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Optimism</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Technology" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Technology</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Coding" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Coding</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Spring" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Spring</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Future" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Future</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/AI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>AI</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/innovation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>innovation</span></a> </p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decoding-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-you-can-always-chase-away-the-season-of-gloom-by-pursuing-the-data-of-hope/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2025/04/decodin</span><span class="invisible">g-tomorrow-your-daily-future-inspiration-you-can-always-chase-away-the-season-of-gloom-by-pursuing-the-data-of-hope/</span></a></p>
