"Failure will always find a path for success in a feeble mind!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I have this massive folder of ideas for this Daily Inspiration series; when you've been doing it for nine years, you've always got ideas running through your head!

I was scanning through the folder yesterday, looking for ideas for today, and I came across this one.

I can't remember the context of what I was thinking or encountering when I write it down; it probably had to do with some event I was preparing for, or perhaps an article I came across in my research.

Suffice it to say, when you think about what it says, it's true!

And I must say, maybe it describes what I think about the state of global affairs so far in 2026: we've got small minds chasing big ideas without thinking through the big consequences.

Seems apt!


Asked by one client recently for his thoughts on 2026 so far, Jim Carroll simply had one word: weird!
