Kamala Harris – Quote of the Day for October 31, 2024

On one level, this could just be saying, “Keep at it!” Whatever “it” may be. We all have routines, even if we don’t realize it. Every day, we’re doing something that aligns with our goals, even if it’s as minor as making coffee the exact way we like it. It’s not just about big, dramatic actions; it’s the daily doing, that unglamorous grind that eventually, hopefully, rolls us toward where we want to be.

But what’s really clever here is the strange double-take it makes us do. “What we’ve been doing”? “Every day”? There’s a certain Sisyphean absurdity here—an acknowledgment that even if life feels like running on a hamster wheel sometimes, showing up, day in and day out, is the magic sauce. It doesn’t have to be glamorous or even perfectly efficient. Sometimes, just continuing what you’ve been doing, when things are uncertain or uninspiring, is a small victory of its own. It’s almost like saying, “Hey, you’re on the right track, just don’t overthink it.”

Or maybe it’s just a reminder that sometimes, the right thing is the thing we’re already doing—no need for grand re-evaluation or over-analysis. Just trust the process, rinse and repeat. After all, isn’t consistency the very essence of progress? Keep doing what you’re doing every day, and the results—no matter how small—will stack up.

In any case, this quote nails the art of saying something simple yet sounding as complex as a metaphysical brain teaser. Sometimes the journey forward is about simply staying in motion, trusting the daily grind, and knowing that it’s okay if every day looks a lot like the last.
