Futurist Jim Carroll

"Too many people focus on 'what is' rather than 'what could be'" - Futurist Jim Carroll

I'm in Georgia, where later today, I'll speak on behalf of a corporate group on the topic of the future of healthcare. (Before that, I'll be hard at work studying the nature of turf science, particularly concerning the actions of a small spherical object as it encounters the turf after being struck by a long object, particularly when the turf in question is quite dormant. There is much to learn.)

I digress.

The photo for today's image comes from my keynote for the American Association of Orthopedic Executives, and I'm speaking to them about the emerging reality of 3d printed body parts - knees on order via a Web site. A crazy idea? Not really - it's a fast-emerging reality. They needed not to just think about what is today, but would be tomorrow!

I'll walk through several slides having to do with the science of healthcare and medicine, the acceleration of new forms of treatment, and other issues. It's an interesting time to be covering this type of material from the stage, given that I'm doing so in a country where the very science of healthcare is under attack.

Even so, one of my jobs is to help the group - all involved in the health benefits community - understand the big sweeping trends and ideas that provide so much potential for society. Such as the statement, "What we did for heart health in the 20th century, we can do for brain health in the 21st century" from Dr. Deepak Chopra, an integrative medicine advocate

I've got several slides with these big, bold ideas or observations in my deck.

All around the idea of thinking big about tomorrow, not thinking small about where we are today.

Futurist Jim Carroll has been speaking about the future of healthcare for 25+ years, and has seen a lot of the ‘big crazy ideas’ he’s predicted from the stage become real over time.

"There is no greater act of optimism than thinking beyond the ‘now’" - Futurist Jim Carroll

When people are struggling and in difficulty, it's important to try to instill some sense of hope, a belief that things can get better and that there is a way forward. Thinking about that, the phrase "There is no greater act of optimism than..." came to mind.

It's a wonderful starter phrase because it has so many potential pathways forward!

Thinking beyond 'right now' is the most wonderful of all, though, because it helps you get into a mindset of thinking beyond the difficulties of this very moment.

That said, there are a lot of other ways to use the phrase, all of which can help you do that

There is no greater act of optimism than...

... empowering yourself with kindness
... finding the strength to question
... focusing on what you can control
... remembering your capacity to change
 ... renewing your sense of purpose
... trusting in your ability to rebound
 ... defining yourself through imagination
... thinking 'what can be done?'

...and many, many more!

The fact is, there are many greater acts of optimism!

Futurist Jim Carroll sometimes finds it hard to keep his optimism ahead of his pessimism. This is one of those times.

#Astrology gets a bad rap for being:

➡️ superstitious
➡️ pseudoscience
➡️ fortune telling

But for those who study it seriously it is:

✨ an academic discipline (google #ArchetypalCosmology)
✨ a tool that supports #SelfAwareness and #creative #thinking
✨ a way of framing #opportunities, #dilemmas, and #challenges in terms of human #consciousness, #possibility, and #choice

It can be a powerful tool to support personal #empowerment and human #progress. 💖
