I think the best advice for anyone struggling with something is simply to keep going. One step more can lead to ten and maybe then a hundred. But a journey only ends if we stop. Backwards, forwards--it doesn't matter the direction so long as we just keep going. You can't reach a goal if you don't try.
I know for some, thinking about the past week, these words may seem trite or even ridiculous, but they are helping me push through my fears and depression. Also, when I say to keep going, I don't mean to simply throw yourself at a wall over and over again, either. When I say "keep going" what I am saying is that it's important to acknowledge our failures, but not to dwell on them. Reflect on them, but don't let them control the journey moving forward.
Today is not yesterday. Today is not tomorrow. This, too, shall pass, and nothing lasts forever. So keep going, even when all you want to do is hide from the world and yourself. We can only become defined by moments if we continue to live in them and dwell on them. So if this isn't where you want to be, if this isn't the person you want to be, keep going.
Just keep going.
