Just keep going

When you are not sure how,

when you’ve lost the reason why,

just

keep

going.

To be clear, this is not about pushing yourself past your point, or staying in a situation that is hurting you.

This is not about keeping going when it’s harmful.

It’s about staying the course when you feel you’ve lost your way,

it’s about holding for the light at the end of the tunnel when it’s dark.

There has been many a keep going moments for me, one of the biggest was when I was navigating the recurrence of breast cancer

and in the times I felt I couldn’t find a way through, I held onto those 3 words,

just

keep

going.

Recently I was talking with my dad. We were speaking about intentions.

I was sad, frustrated, disappointed that I hadn’t yet meet my person, that after 20 years of dating and relationships I was single.

He asked me, is it important to you? Yes I replied. Then, he said, just keep going.

So if it matters, if it’s important, if there might be a way through, may these reflections support you to just keep going for another day, another date, another doctor, another dream.
