Futurist Jim Carroll<p>Daily Inspiration: "Enthusiasm matters!" - Futurist Jim Carroll</p><p>You've got to bring enthusiasm to your day!</p><p>To every single moment, every single instance of time, every single interaction with others, and to every single decision that you make through the day.</p><p>Enthusiasm matters!</p><p>That's a lesson that I've learned over time - sometimes the hard way. </p><p>When you spend your life out on a stage, with your most important work usually occurring first thing in the morning as the opening keynote, you've often marveled at your circumstance. You've got to be on fire, on point, on track, and the right side of your mind. You've got to be exciting, motivating, optimistic - and enthusiastic.</p><p>You've got to be lit - in the right way.</p><p>You've got to bring enthusiasm to your moment.</p><p>For a time, I lost my enthusiasm. I've been living this life of early morning keynotes for close to 35 years. That's a lot of time to have enthusiasm at the core of your soul! Around 10 years ago, after a long-term career that involved a constant stream of airports, hotels, taxis, stage checks, crowds, and more - my enthusiasm disappeared for a time. I burned out. </p><p>The impact showed in my work, deportment, attitude, and to be honest, personal health.</p><p>Then I found out how to bring my enthusiasm back.</p><p>And it's never been better!</p><p>Always remember one simple fact above all - enthusiasm can be contagious, inspiring those around you.</p><p>I brought that enthusiasm to the stage in Chicago yesterday, emphasizing to this crowd of hard-working contractors and construction folks that AI wasn't going to replace them, but was going to change them - and that they would do better to adapt to it with enthusiasm and hope, rather than running from it with fear and worry.</p><p>In essence, sharing with them the idea that their enthusiasm matters!</p><p><a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Enthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Enthusiasm</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Passion" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Passion</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Motivation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Motivation</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/PositiveEnergy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PositiveEnergy</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Inspiration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Inspiration</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayDriven" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StayDriven</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/SuccessMindset" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SuccessMindset</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/EnergyMatters" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>EnergyMatters</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/StayInspired" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>StayInspired</span></a> <a href="https://futurist.info/tags/Leadership" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Leadership</span></a></p><p>Original post: <a href="https://jimcarroll.com/2024/10/daily-inspiration-personal-growth-enthusiasm-matters/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">jimcarroll.com/2024/10/daily-i</span><span class="invisible">nspiration-personal-growth-enthusiasm-matters/</span></a></p>

Chuck Darwin<p>Striking new poll numbers amid Harris’s rise </p><p>A large batch of polls this week confirmed Vice President Kamala Harris’s rise in the 2024 presidential race <br>and suggests it has continued. </p><p>She now leads in the majority of national polls.</p><p><a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2024/08/15/5-striking-new-poll-numbers-amid-harriss-rise/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">washingtonpost.com/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">24/08/15/5-striking-new-poll-numbers-amid-harriss-rise/</span></a> </p><p> <a href="https://c.im/tags/enthusiastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiastic</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/enthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiasm</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/optimistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>optimistic</span></a></p>
Chuck Darwin<p>⭐️ Democrats’ big enthusiasm bump<br> — and edge<br>
It’s been evident for a while that Democrats have been injected with huge amounts of <a href="https://c.im/tags/enthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiasm</span></a> since Harris replaced President Joe Biden on the ticket. </p><p>Call it “vibes” or something else; <br>it’s real. </p><p>Polls this week reflect that.<br>
While a Monmouth University poll from June showed just 46 percent of Democrats said they were <a href="https://c.im/tags/enthusiastic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiastic</span></a> about a Trump-Biden rematch, <br>that number has nearly doubled to 🔸85 percent for the Trump-Harris race. </p><p>Democrats’ enthusiasm leapfrogged Republicans, <br>whose excitement stayed steady at 71 percent.<br>
In other words, 🔸Democrats went from a 25-point enthusiasm deficit to a 14-point advantage, <br>at least on this specific question. </p><p>(Other polls have tested enthusiasm to vote, which is a somewhat different question, and the two parties have been closer.)</p><p>Also notable from the Monmouth poll: </p><p>♦️Nearly 9 in 10 Democrats say they’re <a href="https://c.im/tags/optimistic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>optimistic</span></a> about the election, <br>compared with about three-quarters of Republicans.<br>
And an AP-NORC poll this week showed that 🔸63 percent of Democrats are <a href="https://c.im/tags/excited" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>excited</span></a> about a potential Harris administration, <br>compared with 🔸57 percent of Republicans for another Trump administration.</p>
Chuck Darwin<p>Trump’s Campaign Is Drowning in Rage</p><p>There was One (very) Angry Man at the Georgia State University Convocation Center last Saturday. <br>Donald <a href="https://c.im/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Trump</span></a> had harsh words for everyone. <br>He insulted his general election opponent, “Crazy Kamala” <a href="https://c.im/tags/Harris" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Harris</span></a>, <br>for her “low IQ,” <br>and jeered at President Joe <a href="https://c.im/tags/Biden" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Biden</span></a> <br>for “choking like a dog”. </p><p>Trump slammed several Georgia Republicans, including “disloyal” Governor Brian <a href="https://c.im/tags/Kemp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Kemp</span></a>, <br>who Trump said should “get off his ass” and do something about Atlanta murders. <br>The GOP nominee even went after the host <a href="https://c.im/tags/university" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>university</span></a> itself for not letting more people into the at-capacity stadium to see Trump.</p><p>That’s a lot of grievances to air at an event meant to rally supporters of the former president as he seeks another term in office. <br>And it’s understandable why Trump<br>—who has appeared flummoxed at times over how to handle a head-to-head campaign against Harris<br>—would go back to his old, winning 2016 playbook: <br>Insult people and groups of people. <br>Blame immigrants, <br>city-dwellers, <br>Democrats, <br>and insufficiently loyal Republicans <br>for the ills of the country and the world.</p><p>But anger, a driving force in 2016,<br> is a weakening tactic, eight years after Trump shocked the world by defeating Hillary Clinton. <br>Enough voters were tired of politics as usual that election <br>that they were willing to see if a blunt talker could be better. <br>🌟Biden prevailed in 2020 because voters wanted to turn on the TV and be bored by the president.</p><p>Anger is still a powerful motivator for Trump’s base, but he’ll likely need to peel off more voters to score another victory. </p><p>And he may just have exhausted the mental, physical, and emotional energy of swing voters who are simply tired of his antics and his rage.</p><p>🌟“I think Trump is very much playing to his base right now,” but “he might not be winning over some of the folks he really needs,” <br>-- such as female and suburban voters, <br>Steven Webster, author of the book <br>American Rage: How Anger Shapes Our Politics, told me. </p><p>“There may be voters in this country who are sick of his anger at the deep state or him, now, going into the 2024 election.” </p><p>And on top of that, there’s a “newfound <a href="https://c.im/tags/enthusiasm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>enthusiasm</span></a>” on the side of the Democrats, <br>who are newly hopeful that replacing Biden with Harris could keep the White House in Democratic hands next year, he added.</p><p>The hope follows a stunning (and historically un-Democratic) <a href="https://c.im/tags/unity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>unity</span></a> in the party, <br>whose leaders and rank-and-file quickly coalesced around Harris as the nominee. </p><p>Democrats had about as smooth a switchover as they could have dreamed they could get. <br>Biden—despite how shabbily fellow Democrats treated him—stepped aside without public complaint, <br>and cleverly did so on the Sunday after the Republican National Convention, <br>stealing Trump’s buzz and turning the spotlight immediately to Harris. </p><p>With the exception of a comically insignificant interest in the nomination by self-help guru Marianne Williamson, the deal was done. </p><p>Harris raised a stunning $310 million in July<br>—the vast majority from first-time donors<br>—while Trump and his joint fundraising committees, in the month of the RNC convention, pulled in just $139 million.</p><p>Harris’s Georgia <a href="https://c.im/tags/rally" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>rally</span></a>, held four days before Trump’s, was a polar opposite in tone. <br>Reinforcing her popularity with young people (who were disaffected with Biden), she had rappers Quavo and Megan Thee Stallion perform to a joyous<br>—and newly hopeful<br>—packed stadium. <br>She criticized Trump, for sure, <br>but with none of the barbs and personal insults that poured out of the former president’s mouth. </p><p>“The path to the White House runs right through this state, <br>and you all helped us win in 2020, <br>and we’re going to do it again in 2024. <br>⭐️Yes, we will,” <br>Harris said in a not-so-subtle callback to Barack Obama’s “Yes, we can” message.</p><p>Trump knows how to play to an audience, but the audience for his vitriol is limited to those who are already with him, <br>Michael J. Hamner, director of the University of Maryland’s Center for Democracy and Civic Engagement, told me.</p><p>“The effectiveness of that [anger] strategy has peaked and sort of plateaued,” Hamner said. </p><p>“I think it’s really curious when he doubles down on January 6 and on things that are just highly unlikely to resonate with people who are on the fence, people who aren’t just in his camp no matter what.”</p><p>In political terms, it’s still a ways to Election Day; <br>unhappy veterans of Clinton’s campaign recall how she went from leading Trump by double digits in a late-October 2016 CNN poll to narrowly losing the election <br>(while winning the popular vote) <br>a couple of weeks later. </p><p>And former Obama strategist David Axelrod has become the Harris campaign’s official warner (or wet blanket), <br>urging Democrats not to feel “irrational exuberance” over early polls taken while Harris is still in a honeymoon period.</p><p>But Trump needs a new campaign message<br>—and a new soul<br>—if he wants to defeat his new opponent</p><p><a href="https://newrepublic.com/article/184569/trumps-campaign-drowning-rage" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">newrepublic.com/article/184569</span><span class="invisible">/trumps-campaign-drowning-rage</span></a></p>
