Did you know we make ~33,000 decisions per day? What does the skill of decision making have to do with New Year’s Resolutions? Why do NYE Resolutions fail at a high rate?

Welcome to The Saturday Morning Muse! Today, I’m celebrating the release of my rock band’s new album with a message that dreams can come true at any age!
Here’s an excerpt: “But now it’s time for a new chapter—one where I stand and say “I’m not finished—I’ve got more to contribute.” It’s time to make the dream of creating a lasting work of art that will outlive me a reality. Just because I’m in my early 60s does not mean that I lack the energy to create new music to give to the world. Music that I’m deeply proud of and hope resonates with listeners of all ages.”

Welcome to the Saturday Morning Muse!
Today, I’m talking about the skill of critical thinking and the essential sub-skills that are needed to build this skill.
Here’s an excerpt: “The challenge we face is that critical thinking is hard. The easy path is to not question, not ask ‘why,’ and not dig for deeper meaning and root cause. The more difficult, but ultimately more rewarding path is to challenge fixed belief systems, internal biases, and recognize that when we deflect and point fingers at others, three more are pointing right back at us.”
