Keep moving forward

You know the old saying, "One step forward and two steps back"? It is a way of saying that every time you seem to have some progress, some setback occurs that puts you in a worse position than you were to begin with. You see this often on made for television home improvement shows.

However those made for television home improvement shows are a good example to follow. Now, yeah, they build up the drama so you sit there thinking, "They will never finish on time and on budget," but, in the end they usually get past the hurdle and complete the project on time and on budget. The important thing to note is that they kept pushing forward.

Today's word is just a thought that I have had that goes, "It doesn't really matter how slowly you get there. Just keep moving forward."

It seems that we often find a way to throw things in reverse, especially when things get difficult. But, it's like running, which is not my favorite thing to do anymore but I used to do a lot of it. When you are out running a 5K, the terrain usually changes; there are ups and downs. You can take the easy way and not run up any hills but you will never finish the designated course. Or, you can trudge up the hill, not as fast as you were going but still moving forward. The only way you will ever finish the designated course is to keep moving forward.

Life has a tendency to put obstacles in our way. There will be those days when we seem to be running down hill and things seem to come easy. There will also be those days when it feels as if we are trudging through a bog, with knee-deep mud. But, we will always complete our designated course as long as we keep moving forward.
