"The long arc of the future always rewards the resilient!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

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. 

We’re living through an era where it feels like the very idea of progress is under siege.

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.

And yet—despite it all—the future hasn’t stopped moving forward.

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.

Never forget that fact, and act accordingly.

Don't give in. Don't give up. Don't give way.

The long arc of innovation always bends forward. History is clear on this: the future always finds a way.

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.

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.

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.

If some people want to step back from the future—that’s their choice.

You? Step forward. The future is still yours— ours— to build.

Futurist Jim Carroll gets up every morning, checking the headlines, seeking the answer to the same question. You know what it is.

Sounds like moral #courage is in short supply when it comes to elite #universities https://prospect.org/blogs-and-newsletters/tap/2025-03-31-harvard-between-courage-and-disgrace/ #harvard #trump #columbia

Mais moi aussi, je peux me mettre à genoux devant le clown Orange confie notre courageux ministre français de l'industrie Marc Ferraci.

The Weight of Quiet Hands

I closed my eyes, said not my war —
Their wounds, their pain, their care.
Yet silence breeds its quiet harm,
And mine was hidden there...

“So on this #TransDayOfVisibility, I see you — the person behind the governmental erasure and deafening public silence. I see your complexity, your resilience, your #humanity that extends far beyond your #gender #identity. And I promise to keep fighting for a world where being seen doesn't come with a side of existential dread.

Because one day, visibility won't be an act of #courage. It will just be #life.”

Arguably it's in a firm's self-interest not to grovel. How does that look to prospective clients who need to hire a fighter?
