I’m Just Like Rubber, I Always Bounce Back
There is something quietly radical about refusing to stay broken. Not in the loud, motivational-poster sense, not in the shallow optimism that pretends pain doesn’t exist, but in the stubborn, almost absurd insistence on continuing anyway. I’ve realized that if there is one consistent trait that defines me, it’s this: I bend, I stretch, I get knocked down, flattened, twisted into shapes I never asked to take, and yet I come back. Over and over again. I don’t shatter. I don’t […]

"Resilience is rarely a solo endeavor." - Futurist Jim Carroll
Sometimes it involves combining two working parts to build one functioning whole!
Just when I thought I had cornered the market on orthopedic drama in our household, the universe had second thoughts.
It turns out my wife has now torn her Achilles, meaning she is heading into a walking boot or cast just as I’m getting my walking stride back.
We have officially become a two-person logistics puzzle!
In the corporate world, I talk about "agile teams" and "complementary capabilities." Well, I am now living it. I have the legs, but still need to be cautious with the bending or the lifting. She has the upper body strength and the organizational skills, but is on crutches until she gets fitted with the proper walking boot.
Separately, we are both compromised. Together, if we coordinate our movements like a synchronized swimming team, we make one fully functional human being.
How's your 2026 going so far?
The lesson? We often think of resilience as "toughing it out alone." But real resilience—whether in a marriage or a company—is often about the humility to say, "I am the legs, you are the strategy." It’s about auditing your collective assets and realizing that while neither of you is 100%, together you can still move the needle forward.
True partnership is about combining the pieces that still work to build one functioning unit!
It’s going to be a long winter, but at least we know we can't run away from our circumstances. (Cue LOL!)
Onwards!
(Carefully).

It is 71 days to spring in the Northern Hemisphere. Not that Jim Carrol is counting or anything.

"Sometimes, you can’t control your circumstances, but you can control your thoughts!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Ultimately, the way you approach your circumstances defines how the circumstances turn out!
This is the last post on my situation, but I must say - something like this certainly gives you a chance to think!
I’ve spent a lot of time this week looking at my "backward" stats about my fitness and activities —the 884,000 pounds lifted at the gym during the year, the 112 rounds of golf I carded in 2025, and the top-tier cardio recovery stats I've built up.
It’s easy to look at that data and feel robbed by my current physical limits. But I’ve realized that the most important metric isn't on my Apple Watch. It’s the "Resilience Score" in my head. With all this unique downtime, I’ve learned that true strength isn’t just about what your body can do. It’s about what your mind can do once you begin shifting your thinking.
I'm working so hard every day not to focus on what I can't do today - but what I can do tomorrow if I don't do those things today!
And that's a subtle but significant mindspace shift!
As a futurist, I usually obsess over the "next big thing." But this injury has forced me to realize that you can’t sprint into the future if your chassis is broken. I’ve shifted my control panel from "frustration" to "preparation," by shifting my mindset.
I’m not sitting here waiting for my bones to heal; I am actively moving my mind into where it needs to be for longer terms success. I’m trading the dopamine of a ski run today for the guarantee of a tee time at St. Andrews in April!
The circumstance is a pause; the mindset is a pivot.
So while i can't control the circumstances I find myself in, I can certainly control the thinking around what I can do with them!
I think there is some powerful guidance in that line of thought that we can apply to just about any type of circumstance!
Onwards!

"Ten Great Words for 2026: Gratitude. Respect. Serenity. Authenticity. Connection. Trust. Patience. Adaptability. Positivity. Hope!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Each year, since 2006, I have started the year with my 10 Great Words list.
The original list became a part of my closing stage routine and is still shared widely by folks when they discover it. It's over at 10greatwords.jimcarroll.com.
It's a set of ideas that define my thinking, attitudes, approach to life, and what I intend to carry as the core mindset as I approach each new year.
My list this year has been defined and influenced by two major events in my life - the arrival of my first grandchild, Mason James, which has truly been transformative, and a spinal injury that has, for lack of a better word, forever changed my relationship with gravity!
My grandchild! I can't begin to describe how this singular event can cause you to think of your world in a new and different way! My wife and I are overwhelmed with the sheer joy, exuberance, and emotional roller coaster that is the experience. It is truly life-changing - in ways that I don't even yet know I can describe. 2026 should be wonderful! All I need at this moment in my life is his sweet smile, and my heart is full.
The second was the awful fall on ice in late November as I walked down some hard granite steps at our ski chalet. I've been sidelined from the ski season for the year, an activity that has defined my winter for the last 25 years. It's a spinal injury, and I rest daily in knowing that I am lucky; it could have been so much worse. A life event like this certainly gets you thinking! Did you know it's 78 days till spring, 95 days till my tee time at the Old Course in St. Andrews, and 103 days till my pool opens?
Not that I'm waiting for winter to end or anything!
Life events like these define your character, shape your thinking, and certainly outline your approach to your day.
They've also shaped the choice of the words I'm going to carry with me into 2026.
Here's why they matter.

Thinking Ten Steps Ahead in a World That Keeps Getting Worse
There was a time when thinking a few steps ahead was considered cautious, maybe even a little anxious. You planned for tomorrow, maybe next week, possibly next year if you were especially organized or ambitious. Now, that mindset feels almost quaint. These days, it feels like you have to think ten steps ahead just to survive emotionally, financially, socially, and sometimes physically. Not because you want to be paranoid, but because the world has repeatedly proven that if you don’t […]

Build options, not plans!
We are on Day 19 of this series and have covered a lot of ground. We’ve established the necessary foundation: the future is terrifyingly fast (Day 16), your only defense is being (Day 17), and you must adopt an "antifragile" mindset to feed on the chaos (Day 18).
The question today is this: How do you plan when you can’t predict? Or when what you predict doesn't happen because something else does. Or a trend is too complex
Welcome to the idea of Optionality Architecture. Instead of building a plan, build a series of pivots, so that you are ready for whatever the hell happens!
Think about this idea. Planning is dead. Reacting with prebuilt plans is in.
Here's why.
In a linear world, the five-year plan was the gold standard. It was a single, rigid path based on the comforting (but false) assumption that the future would look mostly like the past. Strategy was about prediction and sticking to pre-determined plans.
A five-year plan today? Laughable! In an exponential world, a single, fixed plan is a strategic liability. The moment you commit to one path, a technology curve goes vertical, or a Black Swan event lands. The old strategy instantly becomes an anchor that guarantees you miss the shift.
The winning move is to stop worshipping the plan and start architecting the possible.
That's why the new principle you must master for 2026 and beyond is Optionality Architecture.
Beyond being a cool phrase that rolls off your tongue, it's a critical survival and success strategy you need to go forward.
To get it, you must understand what it is.
The most successful individuals and organizations in an exponential world don't just have options. They systematically construct portfolios of options.
Keep reading - learn your options!

Nice coverage of last month’s National League of Cities panel on adaption to climate change. It was a privilege to share our experience along with Salt Lake City mayor Erin Mendenhall, Moab UT mayor Joette Langianese, and Portland, OR, councilor Candace Avalos.
One nit: I view our namesake oaks as an asset, not a liability! We face far bigger fire risk from non-native stuff such as fan palms and arundo grasses.

Spoke with the Sedona 99s — a group of amazing women pilots who know what it means to push past limits. I shared how I tie my shoes, wear a headset, and sign books with my feet — but more than that, we talked about changing perceptions.
I didn’t fly in (my Ercoupe can’t make that stretch), but I’m building The Impossible Airplane to take that mission worldwide.
