The CK Daily – Taking the Stairs
Good Morning & Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a great weekend!
I know Ashley often shares what she’s reading in the CK Daily, so today I’m following her lead and talking about what I’m currently into! And by “reading,” I mean listening—because let’s be honest, audiobooks are so convenient!
I’ve been listening to “Take the Stairs” by Rory Vaden, and it’s really made me think about how I approach challenges. The book dives deep into the value of discipline and doing the hard things now to make life easier in the long run. Vaden emphasizes that successful people are the ones willing to do what others won’t in the short term so they can have what others can’t in the long term.
The idea of “taking the stairs” is a great metaphor for choosing the harder, but ultimately more rewarding, path. It’s been a helpful reminder that while shortcuts might seem appealing, they often lead to mediocre results. Real success is built on consistent effort and facing the tasks we’d rather avoid.
While I’m all for books on discipline and hard work, I also believe in working smarter, not harder. It’s important to push through discomfort, but we should also be seeking out more efficient ways to get things done. My takeaway so far is that both discipline and smart strategies play a key role in achieving success!
