The 2 Sayings That Keep Me Going

Anti-perfectionistic reminders that are fully responsible for The Daily Divergent’s continued publishing.

Hey there, human,

As we approach 100 Days of The Daily Divergent, I feel myself hitting The Wall.

If you don’t know what I mean by The Wall, no, I’m not talking about Pink Floyd.

The Wall is a phenomenon I first heard from marathon runners.

It’s a way to describe the feeling you get before you want to quit something—usually around the 20-mile mark for runners.

I used to confuse The Wall as burnout, but I know now that it’s a normal part of the process.

That mentality alone helps me heaps, but because I also know nothing is one and done, my mindset alone doesn’t stop me from quitting things.

Can you relate?

This saying is actually from me!

I couldn’t decide whether to put the new one first or last, so I just decided.

That’s the power of these sayings in action.

Sometimes, there is no best answer.

Sometimes, the best answer is any answer.
