Are there really secrets to success or are the ingredients to success in plain sight? This week’s Saturday Morning Muse is part one in a series where we explore the answers to this enduring question.
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? In this final installment of The Saturday Morning Muse for 2024, I’m musing about the value of resolutions and why the skill of decision making is so important.

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.”

Waking up this morning in Madison, Wisconsin enjoying a brief visit with our eldest son! Welcome to the Saturday Morning Muse.
Today, I’m musing about the skill of critical thinking and how to make progress on the lifelong journey to improve this skill.
Here’s an excerpt: “Since (a) an individual’s life experience is primarily defined by the decisions they make over time, and (b) critical thinking is a necessary condition for making better decisions; if an individual wants to (c) live a rich, meaningful life and achieve economic and professional success, then (d) it is essential to build critical thinking skills so they can make more good decisions than bad. Put differently, if an individual wants to be successful, by whatever definition of success matters to them, the path to success depends on investing in critical thinking and decision-making skills.”

Well, the spooky season is officially behind us, so let the holiday season begin! Welcome to the Saturday Morning Muse.
Today, the topic is our historical learn→work→retire mindset and the dangers of succumbing to the allure of the easy chair.
Here’s an excerpt: “So what’s your plan for retirement? Yes, you may want to step off the treadmill of a fast-paced career path, but it’s essential that you not stand still. Standing still is the fast pass to a slow and oftentimes painful slide into oblivion. Instead, commit now to developing the habit of continuous improvement and lifelong learning. Keep moving in retirement. Give back. Mentor. Take a part-time job that fits your purpose. Living a full life means living a full life. Don’t give up on yourself.”
