I just learnt that the brilliant British #scifi #comedy series #Extraordinary has had the third season cancelled. If you haven't seen it before, you definitely should: about a girl who lives in a world where everyone is a superhero, except her. Raunchy and witty humour with great characters.

There is a petition to have the third season brought back:

Outgoing Treasury Secretary #Janet #Yellen is announcing that she's planning to take "#extraordinary #measures" to save the U.S. economy beginning on January 21
— the day after Donald Trump will officially begin his second term in office.
Politico reported Friday that Yellen made the announcement in a letter to congressional leaders
The letter comes as the United States prepares to reach the ❌statutory limit on borrowing
-- which Yellen wrote last month would happen between January 14 and January 23.
She warned in that letter that the Department of the Treasury would need to take "extraordinary measures" in order to avoid a debt default, should Congress fail to raise the debt ceiling before then.
⚠️In her latest letter, Yellen said she would begin taking those "extraordinary measures" next Tuesday,
which will reportedly include
💥tapping into federal retirement funds that aren't immediately needed to pay out benefits to retired postal workers and other federal employees.
She also plans to temporarily
💥suspend investments into those funds in order to keep the U.S. current on its debt service obligations.
"The period of time that extraordinary measures may last is subject to considerable uncertainty,
including the challenges of forecasting the payments and receipts of the U.S. Government months into the future,"
she wrote in her January 17 letter to Congress

Daily Inspiration: "You can't do extraordinary things with an ordinary mindset!" - Futurist Jim Carroll

You know what separates the disruptors from the disrupted? It's not their technology. It's not their budget.

It's their mindset.

That's why one of the best things we can do to move forward to to stop thinking about what is and start thinking about what could be. Because here's the thing: if you're still operating with an ordinary mindset in these extraordinary times, you're not just standing still - you're moving backward.

Think about it - you will never:

- find new opportunities if you're always clinging to old habits

- outpace the competition by doing what everyone else is doing

- learn new things if you're afraid to let go of old ones

- find your passion if you fear exploration

- move forward if you keep looking back

- reach your destination if you're afraid to take the first step

- build resilience if you shy away from adversity

- truly live if you're afraid to take risks

- find true success if you are chasing someone else's definition of it

The fact is, you will never achieve greatness if you settle for mediocrity. That's why the title of my upcoming satirical book is titled "Embracing Mediocrity."

All of the ideas above, if you think about them, emphasize how important it is to break free from conventional thinking, embrace change, take risks, and focus on the future to achieve extraordinary results. It's all about having a proactive, innovative, and resilient mindset. The fact is this - the future isn't some distant concept we're waiting for - it's being created right now, by people who refuse to accept "that's how we've always done it" as an answer.

They aren't settling for mediocrity.
