For some reason, the phrase I used to open one of my Daily Inspiration posts a few weeks back drew a fair bit of attention; I started out with this observation:
Yup, here I go with that optimism thing again, but I'm optimistic about my optimism!
And so here I go with that optimism thing again. After all, it's Friday!
Let's talk about how you can feed your optimism machine - it begins with the attitude you start with each and every day. For me, that's the process of writing my Daily Inspiration - often begun the afternoon or evening before, I spend my time first thing each morning composing and organizing my thoughts. I'm now writing 4,000 to 6,000 words each morning while I enjoy my coffee and before I start anything else. It's my moment of meditation, quiet reflection - I'm setting my mind for my approach to the day.
Once my post is done, I'm ready to take my optimistic soul into the rest of the day. But first, I need to chase the sunrise! I use to charge into the office after breakfast to get things done - but not since 2016. Now, most mornings when I'm not on the road, I'm either first on the tee sheet for golf (7 am!) at my home club; or when golf season comes to an end, I'm out for my early 7km (5 miles) walk. I'm chasing the sunrise!
With the late sunrises now taking hold in the Western Hemisphere, and in these last days before the end of Daylight Savings Time, much of the walk through the forest is in the darkness. But I'm chasing the sunrise - and am often rewarded with moments of splendor as it peaks through the dark sky. I find another moment of inspiration at that moment!
The other day, I was rewarded with the view seen in today's quote. Halfway through my route, there is a large clearing - and I caught this moment as the sun tried to make its presence known through the massive fog barrier which has settled in over our region for the last several days. What does this have to do with the future? It's the start of another day! What does this have to do with innovation? Innovation is all about having a sense of optimism as to what comes next. What does this have to do with inspiration? Everything!
My Youtube Short video that day caught the sunrise fog:
The thought that came to my mind at that sunrise moment? How blessed I am to have the opportunity to see such a sunrise! How wonderful a gift I have received to be able to focus on my optimism! And how wonderful that I can share this sense of joy and optimism with others - I think I'm now reaching about 50,000 people through various social networks and mailing lists every day. Every day is a gift - share them!
And so I filmed my video version of my Daily Inspiration at that moment. What's this about? Some weeks ago, I decided I was going to explore using TikTok and YouTube Shorts as described in this post:
I've now found myself spending a few moments during my walk filming the video version of my Daily Inspiration . I still don't quite yet know what I'm doing but I'm learning, and I can say I'm pretty stunned by the number of views I get on each video. (Not staggering numbers but for me - wow!). You can see my Youtube shorts here: www.youtube.com/c/JimCarrollFuturist/shorts and my TikTok feed here:
www.tiktok.com/@futuristjimcarroll.
I've been a busy guy - sharing my optimism! People seem to find optimism in my optimism! To me, in a world that becomes darker, more complex, and more worrisome each and every day, I find some optimism in that thought.
And so, I share my optimism. It works for me, and it seems to work for others.
My wife keeps asking me what I am going to do in retirement. I respond that first, I don't plan to retire. And second, I comment that I'm going to keep walking and posting my Daily Inspiration because if you are consumed by optimism, people like it when you share it!

Futurist Jim Carroll is optimistic about his optimism. He has a final round of golf this morning for the season at 9am, and won't be able to chase the sunrise. But his morning walks will continue in earnest, and with ski season starting in just over a month, he's eager to start his optimistic day by being first at the chairlift.
Cautiously Optimistic, but ready for disappointment at any moment.
This was from a shoot I did on 2-11-09 for an FGR Flight of the Conchords.
"It's my birthday, 2003
Waitin' for a call from my family
They forgot about me"
I find it hilarious.
YES IT IS MY BIRTHDAY TODAY MAY 30th.
And no I am not lacking for calls or emails or well wishes.
Without a full life story, a part of me is the little girl who is not quite certain that I'll be remembered. But my big girl makes fun of it.
My daughter's wedding and my birthday in one week! Yowzers. What an amazing week and year it's been!
E.B. White quotation: "I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority."

OPTIMIST
Optimist grew up in Oakland California and started doing graffiti at an early age.
Inspired by the dozens of graffiti legends painting in Oakland in the 90's, he couldn't help but become addicted to Graffiti. After visiting the SF MOMA during a Gerhard Richter exhibit in 2002 he decided to try his hand at painting with a brush instead of a spray paint can in an attempt to mimic the skills of Richter. This led to another addiction to painting.
Optimist went to University of California Berkley and received a degree in Conceptual Information Arts and painting in 2005. After Graduation he rented out a small studio in San Francisco and began painting, blending photo realism and collage and techniques learned from graffiti into his own unique style. He spent most of the day painting in the studio working on new ideas and visual metaphors for his fine art and at night painting freight trains or the city streets in an attempt to keep a balance between the two.
In 2007 he moved to Taipei Taiwan.
The move to Taipei was a self experiment in an attempt to see what kind of effects moving to a completely new and strange environment would have on his Art and self expression. This new body of work is the result of that experiment, and intense collage of images and statements describing the ever changing landscape of Taipei as well as the social and economic metamorphosis that is taking place. Optimist's paintings depict the shift that is occurring in Taipei because of the influence of capitolism and materialism of the western world.
In 2009 he moved back to Oakland and continues to make art daily and graffiti nightly.

Although he couldn't managed to catch a single fish for hours but I was wondering about his optimism, his passion and his compassion and finally the patience the thing which is less common in human beings nowadays
The day begins... Full of confidence and optimism. I can do this!
"100 Faces Of A Writer" is photographic documentation of the emotions the writing process has invoked in me. Please, have a good laugh at my expense. I sure did. :)
Optimistically choose when you want to wake up now. When it's 7:00 tomorrow, keep on pressing "Snooze" and wake up at 10:00. iPhone's alarm system also enables multiple alarms to go off whenever you want, there's no apparent limit. Select which days of the week your alarm sounds if you want it to repeat.

listening to Genesis..... Afterglow....I remember staying up late to listen to the new release at midnight on the radio way back when in 1976 when I was 13.....
Afterglow
(Banks)
Like the dust that settles all around me,
I must find a new home.
The ways and holes that used to give me shelter,
Are all as one to me now.
But I, I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
I miss you more.
Than the sun reflecting off my pillow,
Bringing the warmth of new life.
And the sounds that echoed all around me,
I caught a glimpse of in the night.
But now, now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none, no thing, no one.
And I would search everywhere
Just to hear your call,
And walk upon stranger roads than this one
In a world I used to know before.
For now I've lost everything,
I give to you my soul.
The meaning of all that I believed before
Escapes me in this world of none,
I miss you more.
As for my interpretation of the theme, I've been a little Valentine's Day challenged in the past (but I'm always optimistic for the future), so hearts and cupids weren't in my plans. But as I pondered the theme, several things came to mind. The first, my grandparents. My Mom's folks were married for decades and going dancing was one of their favorite activities. In fact, that's where they met my Dad's dad and his wife (Grammie Augsburg), who had a wonderful second marriage that lasted 40+ years—both were widowed young and remarried young. They all went dancing at various venues throughout the Chicagoland and surrounding rural (now suburban) areas. When I danced with Grampa Augsburg in my 20s, he'd always tell me I was trying to lead (surprise). So a few years ago, in an attempt to make new friends upon my relocation to Milwaukee, I started taking swing dance lessons. For five years, I've been learning and practicing my East Coast Swing and Lindy Hop moves. I've made some great new friends AND learned to follow and let my partner lead (Grampa would be so proud!). So my love story project has two meanings for me. It expresses my love of dancing and it also honors the love that I have for my grandparents and the fact that they encouraged me to dance. When I'm on the dance floor, I can almost imagine them smiling down on me.
The added benefit of this particular garment is that the dress has a little twirl to it, which is very important when you're dancing, but it's still "office appropriate". Right now, I only have the band and a few couples on the dance floor, but I'm thinking about adding the dancers all the way around the back of the skirt as well. Since the freezer-paper stencils are reusable (as you'll see below), this should be a quick update.
Want to take a spin around the floor and try to create something like this of your own? Here's how.
STUFF YOU NEED
•Garment (My dress was too long, so I saved the part I cut off and used it to audition paint colors and types.)
•Fabric paint (I used Jacquard Lumiere, pewter)
•Paint brush
•Freezer paper
•Patterns (I used clip art from a Dover book)
•Iron, ironing surface, press cloth
•Cutting surface and craft knife (X-Acto)
•Transfer paper and pencil
•Cardboard
HERE'S HOW:
1. Size your patterns to fit your garment. My dance couples are three different sizes, and one is flipped horizontally. Prewash your garment as indicated on the care label, paying attention to any instructions from the paint manufacturer.
2. Layer the following things from bottom to top: freezer paper wax-side down, transfer paper chalk-side down, pattern. Use a pencil to trace around the pattern.
3. Using the craft knife, cut the image out of the freezer paper, creating a stencil.
4. Place the freezer-paper stencil wax-side down on the garment. Use an iron to temporarily attach the freezer paper to the fabric. (Really, this works. Just use a heat appropriate for the fabric.) Note: I'm reusing one in the photo, which is why there's already paint around the edges.
5. Place cardboard under the to-be-stenciled area. Use a paint brush to apply paint within the stencil area. Brush in from the edges so you don't get paint under the edge of the stencil. Note: Mine was a pretty dense knit fabric, so it didn't bleed through, but if your garment is thin, place wax paper over the cardboard under your garment so the cardboard doesn't stick to the fabric.
6. Peel the freezer paper off. You don't want to let it get very dry before you do this, because the paint can stick along the edges of the stencil. But I'd let it dry a little so you don't run the risk of smudging.
7. Let dry and heat-set the paint according to manufacturer's directions.
So I woke up really really optimistic today , and for no reason , I am really Loving me way to fucking much . . . crazy I know
So yeah I know . . . I Rock

…NOT!
I couldn’t get this wisp right today… Well, it would be better to be optimistic than being down with a bad hair day.

I Feel Lucky
(Mary-Chapin Carpenter)
Well I woke up this morning, stumbled out of my rack
I opened up the paper to the page in the back
It only took a minute for my finger to find
My daily dose of destiny under my sign
My eyes just about popped out of my head
It said the stars are stacked against you girl
Get back in bed
I feel lucky, I feel lucky
No Professor Doom’s gonna stand in my way
Mmmm I feel lucky today
Well I strolled down to the corner, gave my numbers to the clerk
The pots 11 Million so I called in sick to work
I bought a pack of camels, a burrito and a Barq’s
Crossed against the light, made a beeline for the park
The sky began to thunder, the wind began to moan
I heard a voice above me saying
Girl you’d better get back home
But I feel lucky, I feel lucky
No tropical depression’s gonna steal my sun away
Mmmm I feel lucky today
Well 11 Million later I was sitting at the bar
I’d bought the house a double and the waitress a new car
Dwight Yoakam’s in the corner trying to catch my eye
Lyle Lovett’s right beside me with his hand upon my thigh
The moral of the story is simple but it’s true
Hey the stars might lie but the numbers never do
I feel lucky, I feel lucky yeah
Hey Dwight, Hey Lyle, boys, you don’t have to fight
Hot dog I feel lucky tonight
I feel lucky, I feel lucky
Think I’ll flip a coin, I’m a winner either way
Mmmm I feel lucky today

-What advice would you give your past self?
-"Stay optimistic because you shouldn't live life to be sad all the time."
Tomorrow morning I have got to be up at 4-30AM to fly to Richmond Virginia. Last time I was there I shot this, in slightly more optimistic times for President Obama before the reality of attempting Health care reform had hit home.
So I had a good time shooting the President but I had a distinctly bad time earlier on with the cops of Virginia. I was charged with reckless driving because I was speeding at 10-mph above the speed limit...... er..... Same speed as everyone else of course ..... But I get stopped because I have an out of state plate and a Beast car.
Then I get done for reckless driving because I said I am on my way to see then Presidential Candidate Obama. This was enough to make the cop see red. So he charges me as if I was driving recklessly...... which of course I was not.
The courts and the lawyers were equally cavalier just make it up as they go along . i don't know the cop or the judge which seems to be very important to the system of justice down there, and once the lawyer has his money he does not care, so in the end i am still guilty even though in the actual proceedings i was found not guilty....... yeah its like a banana Republic....... actually thats not fair cos I have been to a lot of places that people call banana republics and have never been charged with imaginary crimes. No, the police and justice of that neck of the woods are like only the police and courts of Virginia. I have never experienced it quite like that anywhere else.
Its best not to go there of course. But if you must you need to be armed and walking or using some kind of horse drawn cart.
As nothing much has changed for me, basically Im kind of liberal looking photographer, not armed, with a NY driving license, and a British accent, the chances of being charged with an imaginary crime are very high. So I won't be renting a car or staying the night.( It is certainly a crime to go to a night-club or I believe a hotel in Virginia without a weapon) Im gonna fly in early and fly out as soon as possible. To get from the airport I will be hidden in the back of a horse drawn cart driven into town I will shoot my pictures then leave via the same route . Hopefully the Sheriff will be unaware that a liberal looking unarmed bloke with cameras, New York ID and a British accent was ever there, otherwise obviously it could be very tricky for me. Who knows what imaginary crimes I could be charged with.
Although I understand it is an affront to a Virginia Policeman to come across a vaguely Liberal looking person. It is only actually a violation if you are unarmed or say anything that could be construed as Liberal or if you are on the way to see a famous Democratic politician that of course constitutes recklessness in the eyes of the law. My understanding is under Virginia Law its basically up the individual policeman to make up the charges as he goes along.
Remember kids: Don't do drugs and don't go to Virginia. Its as simple as that.

I'm a bit reckless in my optimism for a good cappuccino at restaurants, cafes and pastry shops. I should learn.
I'm #OPTIMISTIC since I lost a lot of weight since baby was born in November. I want to keep it off.
Reprocessed from the original image by Dan Gregg, special thanks!
Dan was in Cast B the year after I left, and was kind enough to loan his pictures to me for this project.
This gave me a unique chance to continue my UWP journey in a sense way after the fact.
I never personally met Dan Gregg, but I came to feel as though I did while working with these images.
And I recognized others who continued in Cast B after I left. Wow, there's Raul Reyes and Derly Tijerina for example...we were buddies...and I could never forget the amazingly infectious smile of the wonderful Lori Nicol!

being optimistic in eye-ing the best for 2010. Here goes my subject which inspires me to be always positive in hitting my goal. Though at times i believe in luck, destiny and fate. Hmmn, but i guess its only ourselves who makes our destiny and probably by putting HIM in our center, everything we wish for will come to reality
