Lesson 179: Keep Moving

If you can’t fly then run, if you can’t run then walk, if you can’t walk then crawl, but whatever you do you have to keep moving forward.
— Martin Luther King

Today we are to contemplate the Martin Luther King quote. What will we do that keeps us moving forward?

I think what’s important with this quote that small tracks are better than no tracks. Change doesn’t have to be drastic. In fact, based on the quote, even the smallest of changes makes all the difference. I think that’s what I’ve really learned this year. As long as you go at your own pace and want to improve to be the best version of yourself, then that’s all that matters. Don’t live on other people’s terms but live by what you need. The best person that knows your needs is YOU.

I actually think it’s okay to go to the darkest depths of your emotions as long as you have the want to get back out. I think that times are challenging and you lose all hope. There are also times when you think you make progress, you’re moved three steps back. What I believe is that we are more resilient than we think we are. Some people become aware of that but others aren’t. I also believe sometimes you need to show others that maybe don’t have the guidance. I think showing someone small steps to move forward will help them more than we realise. I know that I can overcome and achieve anything – from facing my own self-doubt and proving myself wrong to pushing comfort zones. When I say I live for experience, it really does push boundaries and expands the way I live.

When in doubt I repeat “I can do anything!” which has been proven to me time and time again. This is how I move forward.

How do you move forward?
