The escalator is what the entire crowd is doing.

In fact, when you take the stairs, one might even wonder, am I doing too much?

Am I being a little extra?

You know, that whole biological need to blend in and be accepted.

Yeah, that's not a small thing, guys.

It kicks and screams when you ignore it.

There are things in your life that require a consistent, day-in and day-out committed climb.

The brilliant Jim Rohn said something like, and I'm paraphrasing, being wealthy, healthy, and successful is easy.

So why isn't everyone successful, the crowd asks.

It's the little decisions we make every day.

It's not rocket science.

Walking up whatever metaphorical staircase is in front of you, it's not calculus.

It's simple.

You're not risking your life taking the stairs.

But it's just as easy to avoid them altogether.

They say choose your heart.

This makes you wonder if perhaps it should be choose your easy.

So the question is, what are you doing and repeating over time?

Because that repetition will shape you, define you.
